Storm electrical breakdowns Southeast Queensland
What to do when lightning strikes
Storm season brings lightning, surges and electrical failures across Southeast Queensland. When a storm damages your home or business electrical system, you need fast, safe response.
Electrical Embassy (Electrical Contractors Licence 78568) provides 24/7 storm damage response across Highgate Hill, Yeerongpilly, West End, Annerley and the wider Southeast Queensland region, with more than 40 years repairing storm-damaged systems.
Storm damage isn't always obvious. You might have power, but blown safety devices. Working lights, but compromised circuits waiting to fail. A professional inspection after a major storm protects your property and prevents the next failure.
What to do straight after storm electrical damage
Call us for an emergency inspection
We answer in person when we can. During major storm events, our AI assistant takes the call when we're already attending another job. We prioritise on safety risk: a smoking switchboard gets immediate dispatch, a post-storm inspection is scheduled in order.
Even if power comes back on its own, get the system inspected. Hidden damage causes fires days or weeks after the storm has passed.
FAQs
Should I call an electrician even if power came back on after the storm?
Yes. Power coming back on doesn't mean the system is undamaged. Safety devices can be blown. Circuits can be compromised. Appliances can be damaged but still limping along. A professional inspection after a major storm finds hidden damage before it causes a fire or a complete failure.
How much do emergency storm callouts cost?
Emergency callouts outside business hours include a fee covering dispatch and the first hour of work. During major storm events, when we're attending multiple jobs, we prioritise on safety risk. We're upfront about the cost before we dispatch.
