A shared meter fault taking out your unit, a Californian bungalow's original wiring failing, or storm damage across Scarborough — we respond fast in Wembley and West Leederville.

Trusted brands
Wembley and West Leederville have plenty of unit blocks built with shared meter banks, and one of the more confusing emergency calls we get is a fault in one unit affecting the supply to others sharing the same board, which needs someone who can work out whose circuit is actually at fault.
The area's Californian bungalows are another recurring theme — many still run circuits close to original, and decades of appliance upgrades have put more demand on wiring than it was ever designed to carry.
Storms roll through Scarborough and Woodlands and can knock out overhead supply or damage exposed wiring on older homes, and with straightforward access along Mount Alexander Drive, we can generally move across the whole area without the access issues you get in denser inner suburbs.

In short
Call Electrician Perth on 0405 422 079. We answer in about 5 minutes and can usually get a licensed electrician on site the same day, often within the hour for genuine emergencies, across Wembley and West Leederville. If there's fire, smoke or a shock, call 000 first.
Total power loss, a safety switch that won't stay reset, a burning smell near the switchboard, or no hot water are all emergencies. A single non-working appliance or power point, with everything else fine, is usually a standard booking rather than urgent.
In unit blocks specifically, if your neighbour's unit is also affected, that points to a shared meter panel fault rather than something isolated to your property, and it's worth mentioning that when you call so we bring the right approach.

A licensed electrician does the work to AS/NZS 3000, tests every circuit and leaves your place cleaner than they found it.
In unit blocks with shared meter banks, we often trace a fault back to one unit's internal wiring tripping protection shared with neighbours, or corrosion and loose connections inside an ageing meter panel. In the Californian bungalows, original circuits overloaded by modern appliance use are the most common issue.
After storms, we typically find either a damaged service line into the property or water ingress at an external meter box, both of which need to be isolated and made safe before permanent repairs and a Certificate of Compliance.

It can be, particularly in older blocks with shared meter panels where one unit's fault trips protection feeding several units. Mention this when you call so we bring the right testing gear and can work out whether the fault is inside your unit or in the shared infrastructure.
For genuine storm emergencies — a damaged service line, exposed wiring, or a switchboard affected by water — yes, we treat that as urgent. Enquiries are answered in about 5 minutes and a licensed electrician can usually be on site the same day, often within the hour.
It usually means the circuit is overloaded rather than faulty, common in original wiring never designed for modern appliance loads. It's still worth having checked urgently if it happens repeatedly, since sustained overload can degrade wiring insulation over time and increase fire risk.
If there's fire, smoke or someone has been shocked, call 000 first, then call us on 0405 422 079. Otherwise switch off appliances on the affected circuit, keep away from any exposed wiring or damp switchboards, and wait for us to assess it safely.
