Electrical emergencies don't wait for office hours. A sudden power failure, tripping breaker that won't reset, burning smell from your DB box, or sparks from a socket — these demand immediate, professional action. Our EMA-licensed emergency electricians respond across Singapore day and night, including weekends and public holidays.
An electrical emergency in your home or business can escalate from inconvenience to serious danger in minutes. A sparking socket, a DB box that smells burnt, or a complete power loss in the dead of night — these situations call for a licensed professional, not a DIY attempt or a call to an unlicensed handyman.
Under Singapore's Electricity Act, only EMA-licensed electricians may legally carry out repair or installation work on your fixed wiring, DB box, sockets, or circuit breakers. Using an unlicensed person can void your home insurance and expose you to fire and electrocution risk. Our entire team holds valid EMA licences and carries professional diagnostic equipment for fast, accurate fault finding.
Indicative prices for common emergency electrical call-outs in Singapore. After-hours surcharges apply for midnight to 6am and public holiday call-outs.
* After-hours surcharge (12am–6am) and public holiday surcharge apply. All prices are indicative — a transparent quote is provided before work begins.
These are genuine emergencies — do not attempt DIY fixes. Switch off the affected circuit at the DB box if safe to do so, then call us immediately.
A burning plastic or rubber smell from an outlet, switch or your distribution board indicates wire insulation is overheating or an active arc. Turn off the main switch and call immediately — this is a fire risk.
🔴 CRITICAL — Call NowVisible sparks mean live electricity is arcing across an open gap — a loose connection or failed component. Do not use the outlet or switch. If from the DB box, switch off the main isolator and evacuate if sparks persist.
🔴 CRITICAL — Call NowIf your home loses all power but neighbouring units still have power, this is an internal fault — either the main switch, a wiring fault, or an SP Group service cutout issue. We identify and restore power quickly.
🟠 URGENT — Same NightA breaker that trips immediately on reset has a persistent short circuit or ground fault on that circuit. Do not keep forcing it — this causes heat damage to wiring. Switch off and call us.
🟠 URGENT — Same NightAny sensation of electric current when touching an appliance, socket, wall or tap indicates a ground fault or missing earth connection. This is a genuine electrocution risk — stop using the appliance and call us.
🔴 CRITICAL — Call NowAfter a pipe burst, flood or heavy leak, water may have reached sockets, junction boxes or the DB box. Do not switch anything on or off inside the affected area. Call us — we will safely isolate, dry and test.
🔴 CRITICAL — Call NowElectrical arcing inside the wall or ceiling makes a distinctive buzzing or crackling sound. This is wiring overheating or a loose connection arcing inside the cavity — a fire risk even without visible flames.
🟠 URGENT — Same NightBlack or brown marks around an outlet or switch plate indicate a past arc event — the circuit has already been at fire-risk temperatures. The fault may recur. Isolate the circuit and call for inspection.
🟡 High Risk — Don't DelayThe RCCB (earth leakage breaker) trips because it has detected current flowing to earth. If it trips on reset, the ground fault is still present. Unplug all appliances on that circuit, then call us to trace and fix the fault.
🟠 URGENT — Same NightA sudden loss of all lighting — or all power in one area — after no obvious cause (no appliance plugged in) suggests a wiring fault, failed junction box connection, or a burned-out circuit conductor.
🟡 High Risk — Don't DelaySingapore's heavy monsoon rains can drive water into wall conduits, outdoor sockets and garden light fittings. Water-damaged insulation is invisible until it fails — a post-flood electrical inspection is essential.
🟠 URGENT — Same NightOlder HDB flats may still have fuse-wire distribution boards (pre-1980s). A blown fuse indicates an overload — and these boards provide no RCD/earth leakage protection. We can restore power and upgrade the board.
🟡 High Risk — Don't DelayThese immediate steps can prevent the situation from worsening and keep you and your family safe while we're on the way. Do NOT attempt any electrical repairs yourself.

From your first call to a fully restored and certified electrical system — here's exactly what happens when you contact us for an emergency.
Contact us via phone or WhatsApp 24/7. Describe the symptom — our team will give immediate safety advice while dispatching an electrician to you.
We dispatch the nearest available EMA-licensed electrician. Most Singapore locations receive an electrician within 30–60 minutes of your call.
Our electrician arrives with full diagnostic equipment and immediately assesses the fault — identifying whether the risk is live and making the scene safe first.
Before any repair work begins, we provide a clear verbal or written quote covering parts, labour and any after-hours surcharge. No surprises.
All repair work is carried out safely with the affected circuit isolated, using approved components and following SS 638 procedures throughout.
After repair, we re-energise the circuit and perform full electrical tests — insulation resistance, earth continuity, and RCD trip-time — before signing off.
Our emergency electricians are experienced with the specific electrical configurations and common fault patterns across every property type in Singapore.
Our emergency electricians are stationed across the island to minimise response time to every area — from Woodlands in the north to Changi in the east.
When every minute counts, you need an electrician you can trust to arrive quickly, diagnose accurately, and fix it properly the first time.
Every member of our emergency team holds a valid EMA (Energy Market Authority) licence. Only licensed electricians can legally carry out electrical repair work in Singapore — using unlicensed workers can void your property insurance.
We dispatch the nearest available licensed electrician from our island-wide network. We aim to arrive within 30–60 minutes for most Singapore locations, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We use clamp meters, insulation resistance testers, loop impedance testers and thermal imaging cameras — not guesswork — to find the root cause of your fault accurately and quickly.
You receive a clear, transparent quote before any work starts. No hidden call-out fees added after the fact, no pressure tactics, no upselling of unnecessary services.
All emergency repair and replacement work is carried out to SS 638 (Singapore Standard for Electrical Installations) specifications — the national code governing all electrical work in Singapore.
Every job comes with our workmanship warranty. If the same fault recurs due to our repair, we return to fix it at no additional charge. We stand behind the quality of our work.
"Called at 2am after a burning smell from our DB box. Electrician arrived in 40 minutes, identified a loose busbar that had been arcing for some time, made it safe that night and replaced the component the next morning. Genuinely grateful for the fast, calm response."
"Power tripped in our restaurant on a Friday night during dinner service — all kitchen equipment went down. Electrician was there in under an hour, traced a faulty earth on our grease trap motor, restored power and got us back in service. Absolute lifesaver."
"My RCCB kept tripping every time I reset it. Other companies I called said they could only come the next day. This team arrived same evening, found an earth fault in my water heater circuit and replaced the heater element. Fair price, professional attitude."
"Noticed scorch marks around a socket in my bedroom. Called at 11pm not knowing if it was urgent. Electrician reassured me, arrived quickly, confirmed the socket had arced, replaced it and checked all other sockets on the circuit. Very thorough."
"After heavy rain, our outdoor garden sockets stopped working. Called expecting to wait till morning but they came that evening. Found water inside the junction box, dried it out, resealed it properly and tested everything. Highly recommend."
"Full power failure in our office at 7pm — server room at risk. Electrician arrived in 45 minutes, diagnosed a failed neutral conductor in our main DB, restored power within an hour. Saved us from a very expensive server outage."
