About Why Is There No Power After a Storm?
Power loss after a Sydney storm stems from Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy network failures, surge-damaged switchboards, or water-damaged outdoor circuits. Flooded switchboards and exposed storm wiring are live electrical hazards; book Sydney Electrical Service or call 0433 462 902 for 24/7 emergency response.
Sydney's storm season runs October to March, with east-coast lows capable of dumping 100 mm of rain and 100 km/h gusts in a single afternoon. Overhead lines come down most often in tree-heavy suburbs like Lane Cove, Wahroonga and Pymble; soaked outdoor circuits are a recurring issue in coastal pockets like Coogee, Maroubra and Cronulla; and surge-damaged switchboards turn up everywhere lightning struck nearby.
What to Do Right Now in Castle Hill
- Stay clear of any fallen lines — your boundary or your roof — until network crews confirm they're isolated.
- Check Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy outage maps to see if the issue is network-wide.
- If the network is up, look at your switchboard. The main switch may have tripped; do not force it.
- Try resetting the main switch once. If it holds, monitor for any returning fault.
- If it won't hold or trips immediately, leave it OFF and call us.
- Switch off all outdoor circuits before the next downpour, even if they're holding now.
- Photograph any visible damage — fallen branches on cables, broken point of attachment, water inside the meter box.
- Move sensitive electronics off mains power until surge protection has been verified.
- If any appliance smells burnt or behaves erratically post-storm, unplug it immediately.
