A burnt or burning switchboard is a serious fire risk and must never be ignored. It points to overheating, arcing or failing components. If you're in Como and can smell burning or see scorching at your board, Sydney Power Group (SPG) responds 24/7 across Sutherland Shire.
If you can see flames or smoke, get everyone out and call 000 immediately. If it's safe to do so, switch off the power at the main switch — do not touch or open the switchboard yourself — then call SPG on 0466 125 125.
Burnt Switchboard Electrician in Como (2226)
Como (2226) sits in Sydney's Sutherland Shire, an area of coastal beach suburbs and established family homes backing onto bushland and the Royal National Park. That local building stock shapes the kind of Level 2 electrical work property owners here call us for.
Around Como we're regularly called out for private poles on bush and waterfront blocks, storm-damaged overhead lines and salt-air corrosion near the coast and bushfire-zone service lines inland — all Level 2 ASP work rather than something a general electrician can sign off.
Como is supplied by Ausgrid. Ausgrid supplies the Sutherland Shire, largely overhead, and bush-interface blocks often depend on private poles. Coastal weather near Cronulla and bushfire risk near the national park both drive service-line and pole work here.
Stay Safe First
A burnt switchboard usually means loose or corroded connections, overloaded circuits, or aged breakers have been overheating behind the panel. If there's fire or smoke, call 000. If it's safe, turn off the main switch — but never force it or reach into a hot or damaged board.
Do not attempt any DIY repair. Keep people and pets well clear and let a qualified emergency electrician handle it.
How SPG Makes It Safe in Como
Once on site in Como, our electricians confirm safe isolation, then inspect the board to locate the overheating or arcing source. Where the board is damaged, undersized or unsafe, we'll recommend a switchboard upgrade.
As a Level 2 ASP, we can also assess the consumer mains and supply feeding the board and coordinate with Ausgrid if the fault extends to the network side.
Don't Wait — Call Now
A burnt switchboard can escalate quickly. Once power is safely isolated, call SPG on 0466 125 125 now for urgent help in Como, or book emergency help.

Burnt Switchboard Electrician Como — Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Como properties often need this kind of work?
The Sutherland Shire is coastal beach suburbs and established family homes backing onto bushland and the Royal National Park, so storm-damaged overhead lines and salt-air corrosion near the coast and bushfire-zone service lines inland are common around Como. That's why Level 2 upgrades and repairs come up so regularly here.
What should I do about a burning smell at my Como switchboard?
If there's fire or smoke, get out and call 000. Otherwise switch off at the main switch if it's safe, keep clear of the board, and call 0466 125 125 — our Level 2 team covers Como 24/7.
Do I need a full switchboard replacement?
Not always — sometimes it's a single failed component. We inspect the board at your Como property and only recommend a replacement or upgrade if it's genuinely unsafe or undersized.

For emergencies we aim to reach Como fast, day or night. For booked work across Sutherland Shire we can usually attend within 24 hours. Call 0466 125 125 and you'll speak to a Level 2 technician, not a call centre.
