Describe what you see

When might you need this service?

You do not need to diagnose the installation yourself.

01

The power suddenly went off

02

A safety switch keeps tripping

03

A socket or connection looks damaged

Fire, smoke or immediate danger? Leave the area and call 112. If neighbours have no power too, check the grid outage first.

What the electrician checks

Understand the work before you agree.

01

First, describe what is affected

Tell us whether the whole home or only one room has lost power, when it began and whether other homes are affected. You do not need to diagnose the fault yourself.

02

Investigation before repair

An electrician checks the cause and explains the repair. The time required depends on the fault and any parts needed. If you smell burning, see smoke or sparks, keep clear; in immediate danger, leave and call 112.

For homes in the Netherlands

Understand which part has failed

If neighbours have lost power too, check the network outage before arranging work inside your home. For a problem only at your address, note which rooms still have power and whether a breaker or safety switch has tripped. Avoid opening the fuse box.

The fuse box is often called a groepenkast and the safety switch an aardlekschakelaar.

Questions

Questions about emergency electrician.

You can call if your situation is different.

Is sending a request a confirmed emergency appointment?

No. A request starts the conversation. Call for an urgent problem; we confirm availability, expected arrival and costs with you.

Do I need to know what caused the problem?

No. Tell us what stopped working, when it started and whether it affects a room or the entire property. Do not open the fuse box or try to repair exposed wiring yourself.

Is my online request a confirmed booking?

No. We contact you to discuss the job, expected timing, availability and costs. An appointment is confirmed only after you agree.

I rent my apartment. Who should I contact?

You can describe the problem to us, but also tell your landlord or property manager. For work in shared parts of a building, access and permission may need to be arranged.

What if the whole street has no power?

Check with neighbours. If multiple properties are affected, check the grid operator outage information or call the national fault line 0800-9009. For a fault inside your home, call us.
