No power when the street has it, a board that trips and won't reset, a burning smell from a socket, water in a light fitting. Send the form below and a CheckYourTraders-verified electrician rings you back.
Day or night, 365 days a year. One form, one electrician, one call back.
Tell us what is happening and where. It reaches us marked as an emergency and goes to one CheckYourTraders-verified electrician, who rings you back.
While you wait
Emergency electrical work is published in Maltese price guides at €50 to €100 an hour at night and at weekends. You hear the charge before anyone sets off.
If the street lights or your neighbours are out too, it is a supply fault: check Enemalta's live outage map. Look at your meter: a blank display means the supply isn't reaching you, which is Enemalta's to fix. If the meter display is on but your property is dark, or one part of it is, the fault is inside the property and that is ours: send the form.
Electrical faults don't wait for office hours, and neither does the form. Send it at any hour, any day of the year, and it goes straight to the verified electricians in our network.
Whoever is available takes it and rings you. At night fewer electricians are working, so the one who calls tells you honestly when they can be with you, and what the night call-out costs before they set off.
Pick the one closest to yours for how to make it safe, what usually causes it and what it costs.
The RCD or main switch trips and will not stay on.
A socket, switch, light or the board smells hot or has sparked.
Water is getting into a light fitting, socket or the board.
A cable is cut, crushed, burnt or hanging loose.
When the lights go out or something smells of burning, you want one competent person on the phone, not a list of numbers. You send one short form. We pass it to a single CheckYourTraders-verified electrician, who rings you, tells you how to make it safe and gives you the call-out charge before setting off.
These are the bands published in Maltese price guides in 2026, the same figures our main electrical site uses. They are bands, not quotes: the electrician who rings you tells you the call-out charge before travelling and prices the repair before starting.
| Line | Unit | Band | What is in it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emergency electrician | per hour | €50 – €100 | nights, weekends and public holidays |
| Standard call-out | per visit | €20 – €60 | daytime visit; labour on top at the hourly rate |
| Fault finding / RCD tripping | per job | €60 – €150 | diagnosis of a tripping RCD, dead circuit or intermittent fault |
| Replace a socket or switch | per item | €35 – €90 | like-for-like, existing wiring sound |
| Consumer unit / fuse board upgrade | per board | €300 – €800 | new board with RCD protection to the current regulations |
Night, weekend and public-holiday work is charged at the emergency hourly rate. A board replacement is rarely done in the middle of the night: the electrician makes it safe first and quotes the rest.
In Malta, work on an electrical installation is restricted by law to electricians authorised by the Regulator for Energy and Water Services under the Electrical Installations Regulations (S.L. 545.24). Ask the electrician for their authorisation number: a competent one will give it without hesitation.
Every electrician we pass an emergency to is a member of CheckYourTraders, which checks identity and insurance and publishes reviews from real customers with the trader's right of reply. If an electrician doesn't ring you, or the job goes wrong, tell us: it counts against them on the next call.
“You get one verified electrician who rings you back, and we check it was sorted.”
Send an emergency request →We pass emergencies to verified electricians across Malta and in Gozo. In Gozo we use a Gozo-based electrician where we have one; if they have to cross from Malta the ferry adds time, and they will tell you when they can realistically be there. You can send the form at any hour. The call back depends on who is free, and we will never pretend otherwise.
Emergency Electrician Malta is one of the CheckYourTraders trade sites. For planned work, a rewire, a new board or an EV charger, use our main electrical site.
Make it safe at the board, then send the form. A verified electrician rings you back.
