Urgent electrical fault finding and emergency electrical assistance for homes, landlords and businesses across Northampton — from a local, NICEIC-approved team.

Electrical emergencies
Electrical problems rarely come at a convenient time. A circuit trips and won't reset, part of the house goes dark, a socket starts to smell hot — and some faults need dealing with quickly to keep people and property safe.
Swiss Electrical's emergency electricians investigate the fault, identify the cause, isolate unsafe equipment where necessary and carry out emergency electrical repair wherever possible, so you're not left guessing what went wrong.
What we attend
The process
We establish what has happened, where the property is and whether there is anything you should immediately avoid touching or using.
An electrician attends and carries out systematic electrical fault finding to identify the affected circuit and the cause of the problem.
If the problem can't be permanently repaired straight away, we can isolate the affected equipment or circuit where appropriate so the installation is left safe.
Where practical, we repair the fault during the visit. If further work or specialist parts are needed, we clearly explain what is required.
Proper fault finding
Resetting a tripped breaker might get the lights back on, but if it keeps happening there is an underlying problem. RCDs and circuit breakers trip for a reason — and the job of an emergency electrician is to find that reason.
Testing tells us whether the fault is in the fixed wiring, a plugged-in appliance, a damaged accessory, deteriorating insulation, water ingress or something else. Insulation resistance and circuit testing let us narrow it down methodically instead of swapping parts and hoping.
We carry professional electrical testing equipment and have years of experience diagnosing faults in homes and commercial buildings. Read more about our electrical fault finding service.

Commercial emergency electrician
An electrical fault at work means downtime, lost trade and frustrated staff. We investigate urgent electrical problems at shops, offices, workshops, warehouses and other commercial premises around Northampton, and work to get you back up and running safely.
Swiss Electrical is based at Moulton Park in Northampton, so we're a genuinely local Northampton electrician rather than a national call centre. We cover the whole town and surrounding Northamptonshire, including Duston, Kingsthorpe, Abington, Wootton, Hardingstone, Moulton and Collingtree.
No separate call-out charge. What you pay is based on the time spent on site diagnosing and making safe, plus any repair work and materials the fault needs — which varies from job to job.
We explain the charges on the phone and before any repair goes ahead, so you can decide with the full picture. No hidden fees.
