Electrical emergencies in Craigavon often follow water ingress, overloaded older circuits or outdoor supplies exposed to a wet, exposed inland position near Lough Neagh where Atlantic systems deliver high rainfall, sustained wind and frequent frost that stress roofs, drainage and external pipework throughout the year. Across BT62, BT63, BT64, BT65, BT66, BT67, the priority is to isolate danger, test safely and restore only the circuits that are safe to use.
The linked towns of Portadown and Lurgan with their Victorian and Edwardian terraces, the planned 1960s new-town estates of Brownlow built between them, and modern private developments spreading around Lough Neagh's southern shore. A wet, exposed inland position near Lough Neagh where Atlantic systems deliver high rainfall, sustained wind and frequent frost that stress roofs, drainage and external pipework throughout the year. Craigavon's combination of Victorian terrace stock in Portadown and Lurgan and ageing new-town estates, across more than 30,000 homes, drives strong year-round emergency trades demand.
Enter your postcode and EmergencyLines finds the nearest available electrician to you - day or night, weekends and bank holidays included. You get a number, you call it, and you speak to the electrician directly. No call centre, no middleman, no waiting on hold.
Pick what's happening and we'll give you the likely cause and the safe first step - then enter your postcode to reach a verified Craigavon electrician.
Likely cause: Heat at a connection - a genuinely dangerous fault that can lead to fire.
Do this now: Switch that circuit off at the consumer unit, unplug appliances on it, and call an electrician now.
Likely cause: A loose or damaged connection is arcing.
Do this now: Stop using it, isolate the circuit at the board, and do not touch it wet. Get it looked at urgently.
Likely cause: A single circuit has tripped - often a faulty appliance or damaged cable.
Do this now: Reset it once; if it trips again, leave it off and call an electrician to find the fault.
Likely cause: Either an area outage or your main switch/RCD has tripped.
Do this now: Check if neighbours are off too. If it is just you and it will not reset, an electrician is needed.
Likely cause: Something on the circuit is leaking to earth or overloaded.
Do this now: Unplug everything on that circuit and reset once; an electrician can isolate the culprit.
These are the electrical callouts we see most across Craigavon, shaped by the local housing and weather:
Consumer unit tripping repeatedly and burning smell or scorched socket come up again and again here - usually down to the age and style of Craigavon's housing. Whatever the cause, the priority is the same: a verified electrician covering older terrace streets, post-war estates and the rest of the city can make it safe quickly and tell you the cost before any work begins.
Craigavon's stock runs victorian through to 1960s-70s. Some pre-1960s Craigavon homes still run rubber/VIR wiring or rewireable fuse boards - prime candidates for a rewire or a consumer-unit upgrade. Knowing what's likely behind the wall is half the job on an emergency callout.

In Craigavon, consumer unit tripping repeatedly and burning smell or scorched socket top the list - often down to the city's older housing stock. Describe what's happening on the call and your electrician arrives prepared.
No - it costs nothing to enquire. You only pay once you've spoken to the electrician, agreed the work and it's complete. There's no charge just to find out who's available near you in Craigavon.
Repeated tripping means the board is protecting you from a fault. Leave the problem circuit off, unplug recent appliances, and call an electrician if it will not reset or if there is heat, smell, water ingress or scorch marking.
Keep the affected circuit off and do not test it by switching it back on. Water inside fittings can remain dangerous after the visible leak stops, so an electrician should inspect and test before power is restored.
Often, yes. The linked towns of Portadown and Lurgan with their Victorian and Edwardian terraces, the planned 1960s new-town estates of Brownlow built between them, and modern private developments spreading around Lough Neagh's southern shore. That can mean mixed-age wiring, older boards and hidden junctions. Emergency work should make the installation safe first, then recommend any follow-up upgrades separately.
