When you need an βEMERGENCY ELECTRICIAN NUMBERβ one of the best things you can do is to use an internet search engine to find local results.
An emergency electrician will have a business listing on Google and other search engines.
Back to top1) How do you trust a company on the internet?
Finding a company at the last minute is always a risk.
How do you know if they are any good? Will they turn up?
Back to top2) Will they be trustworthy?π€
Thankfully most companies listed on Google Maps will have a number next to their business name along with a star rating. The number indicates the amount of customer left Google reviews that the company have received and the star rating indicates the average level of review left by those customers.
The more reviews the better and the higher the star rating the better in general. Google also lists how long the company has been in business, again, the longer the better. No one wants to use a company that has not been trading very long as there is no confidence that they will stick around if there are problems.
Another great way of checking out a business on the internet is to have a good look at their website. Do they have lots of helpful articles, photographs, and useful information for their customers? A company that puts themselves out there on the internet is confident in their service and wants their customers to feel at ease using their services.
Back to top3) Are all electricians 24-hour emergency electricians?π
Very few electricians are truly 24-hour emergency specialists. Many companies and sole traders will work normal weekday working hours and close for the evening and weekend. There is nothing wrong with this as people generally want time outside of work to relax and unwind. Emergency electricians are on hand at all times of the day and night to attend emergency call out visits when you need them.
We understand that customers will have electrical problems outside of normal working hours and may need an emergency visit in the evenings and weekends. We occasionally take a weekday off instead so we do get some rest as well. π
Back to top4) Where can I find a local 24-hour electrician?β‘
A lot of companies that advertise on the internet are national companies that have a database of willing contractors able to attend emergencies for them. There is nothing wrong with this type of service, in fact it is great as it saves you, the customer, a lot of calling round when you have an emergency. We even carry out work for some of the better ones.
We cover Liverpool to Leigh and in between and we consider that to be local as opposed to a national call centre service.
Back to top5) What does an emergency electrician cost?π°

Back to top6) What is a normal ETA for an electrician to arrive out of hours?π
Emergency electrician specialists are normally able to attend within 2 hours during out of hours visits and possibly a little slower during normal working hours. The reasons for this are increased traffic during daytime and rush hour and most electricians will have work booked in during the day time.
Out of hours visits are usually attended to more quickly.
Good electrician companies will often give you an ETA and possibly some way of tracking their progress between jobs or en route to you. Google maps offer a share trip progress service which is very popular with customers and this lets customer see exactly where the electrician is and the estimated arrival time.
Back to top7) What should I ask for on the phone?π³
Along with asking for the trip progress to your front door, you should consider asking for the vehicle registration / vehicle description of the person attending so you know who they are. Ask for their name and some ID. This is particularly useful if you are arranging an emergency electrical call out for a friend or family member that is vulnerable. Better safe than sorry. π
Back to top8) How do I pay?π³
Many companies ask for payment up front for the first hour. This is normal across the emergency trades call out industry and ensures that you will get your trades-person as they are now booked and means you do not have to have cash waiting for them. A good company will accept BACS transfer whilst on site or Credit / Debit Card payment. Legitimate companies accept a variety of payment methods and understand that not everyone has cash around the house, especially in the middle of the night.
Back to top9) How long do emergency repairs take?β±οΈ
Emergency electricians are typically very quick at restoring power to most of the property or completely fixing the issue. Most emergencies are dealt with within the first hour of a visit. If further time or parts are required then your electrician will give you a quote for this so you can make your mind up later. The aim of an emergency call out is to restore power to as much of your home as possible as quickly as possible and get things back up and running.
