Electrical emergency? Don't wait. Impulse Electrical provides rapid-response callouts across the entire Mornington Peninsula — from Frankston to Portsea.
📞 Call Now — 0418 383 232Not every electrical problem needs a same-day callout — but some situations are genuinely dangerous and need an electrician immediately. If you notice burning smells, scorching, or sparking from outlets or your switchboard, that's an emergency. A safety switch that keeps tripping and won't reset often signals a serious fault. Total loss of power across your property — especially if the street still has power — needs urgent attention. Flooding or storm damage near electrical equipment should be treated as a hazard until an electrician inspects it.
When in doubt, err on the side of caution. Turn off your main switch if you can do so safely, keep clear of any damaged wiring, and call us. We'd always rather take a call that turns out to be minor than have you wait on a situation that becomes dangerous.
⚠ Call 000 first if there is any immediate risk to life — then call us.

What counts as an electrical emergency?
Electrical emergencies include total power loss to your home or business, burning smells or visible scorching from outlets or switchboards, sparking wires or outlets, a safety switch that keeps tripping and won't reset, exposed live wiring, flooding near electrical panels, or any situation where you believe there is a risk of fire or electrocution. If in doubt, call us immediately.
How quickly can an emergency electrician reach me on the Mornington Peninsula?
Response times depend on your location and time of day. We aim to reach most Peninsula suburbs within 60–90 minutes for genuine electrical emergencies. We cover from Frankston and Langwarrin all the way down to Sorrento, Portsea, and Cape Schanck. Call 0418 383 232 for an estimated arrival time.
Is there a call-out fee for emergency electrical work?
Emergency or after-hours work does attract a call-out fee. Exact costs depend on the time of call and scope of work — call 0418 383 232 and we'll give you a clear breakdown before we head out.
Should I turn off my power during an electrical emergency?
If it is safe to do so, isolating power at the main switch on your switchboard can prevent further damage or risk. Do not attempt to handle sparking cables, damaged outlets, or flooded electrical equipment yourself. If there is any risk to life, evacuate the premises and call 000 before calling an electrician.
Do you handle emergency faults for rental properties and businesses?
Yes. We work with landlords, property managers, and commercial clients across the Mornington Peninsula for urgent fault-finding and emergency repairs. We can issue a Certificate of Electrical Safety after any notifiable work is completed.
