The Emergency Electrician Malta Guides
What to do when the power goes
Short, practical guides for electrical emergencies in a Maltese home: what to switch off, who to ring and what it should cost. Sourced and reviewed by a person before publication.
The Journal is being written now — nothing has passed review yet, and we would rather show you nothing than something nobody has checked.
In the meantime the cost calculator answers the question most people arrive with, and a site visit answers the rest.

- Burning smell, sparks or an electric shock: what to do DraftIf anyone is injured or there is fire, ring 112 before you read any further. This page sets out what the published first-aid and fire-safety guidance actually says about electric shock, a burning smell and sparks — and is honest about which parts no Maltese body publishes online.
- Power cut in Malta: is it just you or the whole area? DraftIf anyone is in danger, ring 112 first. Otherwise: check whether the whole street is dark or only your property, then report to Enemalta or get the internal fault looked at.
- Your RCD keeps tripping: what it means and what to do DraftYour RCD is a life-saving device, not a nuisance. Here is what repeated tripping usually means, the safe way to narrow it down to one appliance, and the point at which you should stop and call an electrician.
