WHAT WE DELIVER
Why Powertech Electrical Group Stands Out
Not all electricians are created equal. Here’s the honest truth about what we deliver.
We’re Fast. Really Fast.
Your call comes in. We dispatch immediately. Our electrician arrives within 30 minutes in most cases. Time matters when you’ve got an electrical emergency.
No power means no fridge. No heating. No cooking. We get it. That’s why speed is built into everything we do.
Transparent Pricing Every Time
We quote before we work. You approve before we start. Simple as that. No hidden fees. No surprise charges. No hourly rate rubbish.
The price we quote is the price you pay. Whether it takes 30 minutes or three hours.
Proper Qualifications Matter
Every electrician on our team is fully licensed. We carry proper insurance. We follow Australian standards to the letter.
Electrical work isn’t something to muck around with. One mistake can be deadly. We take safety seriously. Your family’s wellbeing depends on it.
Fully Stocked Vans
Our vehicles carry everything needed for most jobs. Powerpoints? Check. Circuit breakers? Got them. Safety switches? Of course.
This means we fix your problem on the first visit. No “I’ll have to come back tomorrow” nonsense.
24/7 Availability, Same Rates
Emergency strikes at 2am? We’re there. Christmas morning? Yep, we work then too. Public holiday weekend? No worries.
Best part? You pay the same rate. Day, night, weekend, holiday. The price doesn’t change.
Too many companies charge double or triple after hours. We think that’s unfair. Your emergency isn’t more expensive just because it’s inconvenient timing.

Common Electrical Problems We Fix
Here are the issues Sydney homeowners call us about most:
Tripping Circuit Breakers
Your breaker keeps tripping. It's protecting you from overload. But why is it happening? We'll find the cause. Could be faulty appliances. Might be overloaded circuits. Sometimes it's damaged wiring.
Flickering Lights
One light flickers? Probably just a dodgy bulb. Multiple lights flicker? That's a wiring problem. We'll track down the fault.
Old Wiring
Sydney's got heaps of older homes. Beautiful character, dangerous wiring. If your place was built before 1990, your wiring might need attention. Old wiring can't handle modern electrical demands. You've got more devices than homes had 30 years ago. Air con, computers, TVs, kitchen appliances. The list goes on.
No Power
Total blackout? We'll get you sorted. Could be your switchboard. Might be a fault in your mains. Sometimes it's simpler than you'd think.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency & Electrical Services in Inner West Sydney
If safe to do so, switch off power at the main switchboard, avoid touching any exposed wiring or sparking outlets, and keep family members away from the affected area. Call Powertech Electrical immediately on 0420 433 040 – I (Mario) personally answer the phone 24/7 for electrical emergencies across Newtown, Marrickville, Leichhardt, Stanmore, Petersham, Ashfield and all Inner West suburbs. Our priority is preventing electrical fires, electrocution hazards and further property damage.
We aim for 60-minute response times across all Inner West suburbs including Newtown, Marrickville, Leichhardt, Stanmore, Petersham and Ashfield. If we’re not on-site within 60 minutes of your call, the emergency call-out fee is free. I dispatch immediately and track arrival times to ensure fast emergency electrical service when you need it most.
I (Mario) personally answer 0420 433 040 24 hours a day, 7 days a week including Christmas, New Year and all public holidays. You’re speaking directly with a Licensed Master Electrician, not a call centre or answering service. When you call Powertech Electrical for an emergency at 2am Saturday or 6pm Sunday, I answer the phone myself and respond in person. Genuine 24/7 availability across Inner West Sydney for power outages, switchboard failures, electrical faults and dangerous electrical hazards.
Transparent upfront pricing is our guarantee – no hidden fees, no surprise charges. Emergency call-out are quoted before work begins based on the specific fault. Common emergency repairs: blown fuse replacement $120-180, tripped safety switch diagnosis $150-250, circuit breaker replacement $180-280, switchboard fault repair $250-500. The quote I provide is the price you pay. After-hours pricing is the same as daytime – no 3x weekend surcharges like some competitors.
Always before, never after. Once I diagnose the electrical fault during the emergency call-out, I provide a detailed quote showing exactly what repairs are needed and the total cost including parts and labour. You approve the quote before I start any repair work. This is part of our transparent pricing commitment – you’ll know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins. No “oh actually it’s more” surprises when the job is finished.
Same-Day QUOTES (Installation Work): Call before 3pm Monday-Friday for non-emergency installation work (downlights, power points, ceiling fans, switchboard upgrades, kitchen electrical, etc.) and I’ll provide your detailed quote the same day. Then we schedule installation at YOUR convenience – this week, next week, or whenever suits you.
Same-Day SERVICE (Emergencies): Available 24/7 for electrical emergencies. I respond within 60 minutes, diagnose the fault, provide an upfront quote, and complete repairs the same visit in most cases to restore your power and safety immediately.
Both include transparent upfront pricing. The difference is timeline: installation is scheduled to suit you, emergencies are fixed right away.
Electrical Emergencies (24/7 Response): Power outages, switchboard failures, sparking outlets, burning smells, electrical shocks, tripped safety switches that won’t reset, blown fuses causing power loss, hot/smoking switchboard, exposed wiring, dangerous electrical faults, storm damage. These require immediate attention to prevent fires, electrocution or property damage.
Regular Electrical Work (Same-Day Quotes, Scheduled Installation): Downlight installations, power point additions, ceiling fan installation, switchboard upgrades (planned), kitchen electrical for renovations, additional circuits, LED upgrades, non-emergency repairs. These receive same-day quotes (call before 3pm) then scheduled at your convenience.
If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call 0420 433 040 and I’ll assess urgency and advise accordingly.
My emergency van is fully stocked with common electrical components for typical emergency repairs: circuit breakers, safety switches (RCDs), fuses, main switches, power points, light switches, basic wiring materials, connectors, and testing equipment. In most cases, I can complete emergency repairs during the same visit without needing to source additional parts.
For less common components (specific switchboard parts, specialty fittings, heritage home components), I can usually source them within 24 hours. If a part isn’t immediately available, I’ll implement temporary safety measures to secure the area, then return to complete permanent repairs once parts arrive. You’re never left in an unsafe situation.
Yes. In situations where complete repairs require additional parts, daylight access, or building permits, I can implement temporary safety solutions: isolate affected circuits to prevent hazards, provide temporary power to essential areas, secure exposed wiring safely, install temporary protection devices, or create safe workarounds until permanent repairs are completed.
All temporary measures comply with electrical safety standards and are documented. I’ll then schedule permanent repairs at a time that suits you, with transparent pricing for the full repair work. Your safety is never compromised with temporary solutions.

This is our specialty. After 25+ years working exclusively on Inner West terraces built 1880s-1970s, I’ve upgraded electrical systems in over 500 heritage homes across Newtown, Marrickville, Leichhardt and Stanmore. I understand the unique challenges: deteriorating cloth-insulated wiring, inadequate ceramic fuse boxes (fire hazard), only 6-8 circuits (modern homes need 18-24), hidden junction boxes from decades of modifications, and overloaded circuits that can’t handle air conditioning.
I provide patient diagnosis in complex old systems, respectful upgrades that preserve heritage features, strategic rewiring with minimal wall damage, and switchboard modernisation that brings your terrace up to current safety standards while maintaining its character. Every heritage home upgrade includes electrical compliance certificates for insurance and property sales.
