Frequently asked questions
What counts as an electrical emergency?
An electrical emergency can include lost power, repeated tripping, a burning smell, visible damage to sockets or switches, sparking, or any fault that may be unsafe to leave. If you are unsure, call AmpWell and we will talk through the risk before arranging an emergency electrician call-out.
How quickly can you come out?
We offer prompt local call-outs across Brackley, Banbury, Bicester, Towcester, Buckingham and their villages. When you call, we will confirm the earliest available attendance and give safety advice whilst you wait.
What is the emergency call-out charge?
Our emergency call-out starts from £85, with an emergency hourly rate from £85. There is no VAT, and we will explain the likely costs clearly before proceeding with work.
My power keeps tripping - what should I do?
Do not keep forcing the switch back on, as repeated tripping usually means the circuit is detecting a fault. Unplug appliances on the affected circuit if it is safe to do so, then call AmpWell for an electrician call out so the cause can be traced properly.
Is a burning smell from a socket an emergency?
Yes, a burning smell from a socket should be treated as an emergency. Switch off the circuit at the consumer unit if it is safe to do so, avoid using the socket, and call AmpWell so a qualified emergency electrician can assess it.
