- Hot tingles from any tap, sink, or appliance — points to a neutral or earthing fault

About Why Is There No Power to the House?
Total power loss in a Sydney home is caused by an Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy network outage, or a fault in your consumer mains, point of attachment, or service fuse. Exposed consumer mains or a failed service fuse is a shock and fire hazard — book a Level 2 ASP electrician or call 0433 462 902 for immediate response. If your neighbours have power and you don't, the fault is on your side of the meter and requires a Level 2 ASP licensed electrician, not your energy retailer. Sydney Electrical Service is dispatched 24/7 across every metropolitan suburb. If the whole street is out, call Ausgrid on 13 13 88 first.
What to Do Right Now in Sans Souci
- Check whether the outage is local or network-wide. Look at your neighbours' lights or check the Ausgrid (13 13 88) or Endeavour Energy outage map online.
- If it's a network outage, wait. Crews will restore power. We cannot help with network-side faults.
- If your neighbours have power, the fault is on your installation.
- Open the switchboard. Check whether the main switch is in the OFF or middle (tripped) position.
- Try to reset the main switch once. If it holds, leave it alone and monitor for returning faults.
- If it won't hold, do not force it. Leave the main switch OFF and call us.
- Check the meter box for visible damage — burning, smoke, water, exposed cables, blackening.
- Photograph anything visible so we can dispatch with the right parts.
- If you smell burning or see smoke, evacuate and call 000 followed by us on 0433 462 902.
