Electrical faults can be frustrating, disruptive and — if left unaddressed — dangerous. Impulse Electrical diagnoses and fixes electrical faults across the Mornington Peninsula, from Frankston to Portsea. Based in Dromana, we respond quickly and carry the tools and parts to resolve most faults in a single visit.
⚠ Don't ignore these warning signs:
• Any burning smell from your switchboard, outlets, or fittings
• Discolouration or scorch marks around switches or power points
• Lights that flicker or dim without an obvious cause
• A circuit that keeps tripping — it's trying to tell you something
A safety switch that keeps tripping usually indicates a faulty appliance, deteriorating wiring, or moisture getting into a fitting or outlet. Unplug everything on the affected circuit and try resetting. If it holds, plug appliances back in one at a time to identify the culprit. If it trips with nothing plugged in, you have a wiring issue that needs a licensed electrician.
Simple faults (bad connection, failed fitting) can be found and fixed in 30–60 minutes. Complex intermittent faults can take longer — 2–4 hours. We charge by the job, not by the hour, and we won't leave until the fault is found and resolved.
Yes, in most cases. We carry a comprehensive range of parts and materials on the van. Most faults can be diagnosed and repaired in a single visit. For 24/7 emergencies, call 0418 383 232 — we respond around the clock.
Never ignore a burning smell from your switchboard, outlets or fittings, discolouration or scorch marks around switches or power points, sparking outlets, or lights that flicker or dim without an obvious cause. A circuit that keeps tripping is also a warning — the protection is telling you something is wrong. If you notice any of these, call a licensed electrician promptly.
Flickering or dimming lights can be caused by a failing fitting, a poor connection, or deteriorating wiring — and occasionally by a fault further back at the switchboard. If there's no obvious cause, it's worth having the circuit inspected, especially in older Peninsula homes. Flickering accompanied by a burning smell should be treated as urgent.
Yes. Partial power outages after storms and power surges that damage appliances are common faults we diagnose and repair across the Mornington Peninsula. Being based in Dromana, we can respond quickly anywhere from Frankston to Portsea, and we carry test equipment and parts on the van to resolve most storm-related faults in a single visit.
Yes. Impulse Electrical responds to electrical emergencies around the clock — call 0418 383 232 any time.

For less urgent faults, we'll book the earliest available visit and fix it properly.
