What No Power to the Whole Property Means
If your entire property is dead but the rest of the street clearly has power, this isn't your switchboard. The fault sits in the service mains, the point of attachment, or the connection between the pole and your meter, wiring only a Level 2 ASP is licensed to touch under AS/NZS 3000.
Common Causes of a Whole-Property Power Loss
A fault in the service mains
The overhead cable carrying power from the street to your meter has failed, often from age, storm damage, or a loose joint, cutting supply to the entire property at once.
Point of attachment failure
The bracket and cable where the service line connects to your house has come loose or failed, breaking the connection before it even reaches your switchboard.
Loose or degraded neutral connection
A degraded neutral connection at the service mains or meter can drop the whole property's supply, even though nothing has tripped inside the house.
Ageing overhead mains in older San Remo homes
Much of San Remo's housing dates from the 1960s-80s, and original service mains from that period are now old enough to fail outright.
Storm damage off Budgewoi Lake
Storm season regularly brings down branches near the lake foreshore, and a damaged line can sever your property's supply while neighbours stay unaffected.
Is No Power to the Whole Property Dangerous?
Yes, treat this seriously. A failed service mains connection can mean live conductors down or exposed at the point of attachment, and it should be checked the same day, not left overnight.
- A damaged or hanging service line near the house or ground is a genuine shock and fire risk
- Any burning smell, scorching, or buzzing at the meter box alongside the outage needs checking today
- A dead property is not always visibly dangerous, but the underlying fault can still be live
- This work sits outside a standard electrician's licence and needs a Level 2 ASP
What To Do Right Now
Before we arrive, these simple checks are safe and won't put you at risk:
- Check whether neighbouring homes on your street also have no power.
- If you can see a damaged or hanging line, stay well clear of it and the ground beneath it.
- Do not touch, move, or attempt to reconnect any service line or meter box wiring yourself.
- Do not open the switchboard looking for the fault, since this sits upstream of it.
- Call a Level 2 ASP (Lic #451348C) to inspect the service mains and connection.
When To Call a Level 2 ASP for No Power in San Remo
- Your property is completely dead but the street and neighbours still have power
- You can see a sagging, hanging, or damaged line running to the house
- There is any burning smell, scorching, or buzzing at the meter box
- The outage started after a storm, high winds, or a falling branch
- A standard electrician has already ruled out the switchboard as the cause
Any of these at your property is a service mains job, not a switchboard fix. We respond same-day and 24/7, with $0 call-out and free quotes. See our service mains and network connections pages.
How it works
How We Fix No Power to the Whole Property in San Remo
Fault Finding
We trace the fault from the point of attachment through the service mains to the meter, confirming exactly where the connection has failed.
Upfront Quote
Once the cause is confirmed, you get a fixed, transparent quote before any repair or reconnection work begins, with no surprise costs added later.
The Repair or Reconnection
As Level 2 ASPs we repair or replace the service mains and restore the network connection ourselves, work most electricians have to sub out.
Testing & Safety Check
Every reconnection finishes with full testing against AS/NZS 3000, so the whole property is confirmed safe before we leave.
Why This Is Common in Older San Remo Homes
San Remo's brick-veneer and fibro stock from the 1960s-80s still carries original overhead service mains, and lakeside storm season regularly stresses ageing lines toward Gwandalan.

Common questions
No Power to Whole Property FAQs
Real questions homeowners ask when their whole property loses power but the street doesn't, answered honestly so you know what to do next.
Is it dangerous if my whole property has no power?
It can be. A dead property with a damaged overhead line or a hot meter box is a genuine safety risk, so treat it as urgent and get a Level 2 ASP to check it the same day.
What causes a whole property to lose power while the street still has it?
Usually a fault in the service mains, the point of attachment, or the main network connection between the pole and your meter, not your switchboard at all.
What should I do if my whole property loses power but neighbours still have it?
Check for a wide-area outage first, then leave the switchboard alone and call a Level 2 ASP, since the fault sits in wiring only they are licensed to touch.
Do I need a Level 2 ASP, or can any electrician fix this?
You need a Level 2 ASP. Service mains and the network connection are outside a standard electrician's licence and require Level 2 ASP accreditation.
How much does it cost to fix a whole-property power loss?
It depends on the cause, but we provide a free quote and fixed upfront pricing before any work, plus a $0 call-out fee for the visit.
Are ageing service mains a common cause of whole-property outages in older San Remo homes?
Yes. San Remo's 1960s-80s brick-veneer and fibro homes carry original overhead service mains now old enough to fail, especially after storm season.
