Scorch marks, a melted breaker or a burning smell at your Potts Point switchboard mean components have overheated — and that can lead to fire. SPG's Level 2 ASP electricians make burnt switchboards safe around the clock across Inner City / CBD.
Fire or smoke? Call 000 first. Otherwise, isolate power at the main switch if it's safe, keep clear of the board, and call us on 0466 125 125.
Burnt Switchboard Electrician in Potts Point (2011)
In the Inner City / CBD, Potts Point (2011) is characterised by high-density terraces, heritage buildings and apartment towers with tight street access. Understanding that housing is half the job when it comes to service-side electrical work.
Around Potts Point we're regularly called out for strata and mixed-use switchboards serving several tenancies, metering upgrades for apartments and small commercial spaces and underground supply and pit-and-pipe connections in built-up streets — all Level 2 ASP work rather than something a general electrician can sign off.
Power to Potts Point runs through the Ausgrid network. High density and older building services mean metering and connection work here needs careful coordination. Ausgrid feeds the inner city with a dense mix of underground and overhead supply, and access for network work is often constrained.
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 Potts Point
Once on site in Potts Point, 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 Potts Point, or book emergency help.

What should I do about a burning smell at my Potts Point switchboard?
