EMERGENCY ELECTRICAL
REPAIR < 48H

In case of a total power outage, follow these safety steps: 1) Check that the main breaker in your panel has not tripped — reset it if necessary, 2) Check if your neighbors are also without power (general EDF outage in the neighborhood), 3) If the problem is isolated to your installation, call EAD immediately at 04 65 84 19 29. Never touch a wet panel or one that smells burnt. Our electricians intervene within 48 hours throughout the Var and PACA to diagnose the real cause: panel overheating, main breaker failure, or EDF line problem. On-site diagnosis is free.

A constantly tripping residual-current device indicates a ground fault (insulation leak). The most common causes in the Var are: a faulty household appliance (washing machine, water heater, air conditioner), a damaged cable in the walls from rodents or marine humidity, water infiltration into a socket or junction box, or chronic circuit overload. EAD uses a professional insulation tester to precisely locate the fault, circuit by circuit. We intervene in Toulon, Hyères, Fréjus, Saint-Raphaël, Draguignan, and throughout the Var to permanently repair this type of fault with durable solutions.

EAD emergency electrical repair pricing is transparent with no surprises. The call-out fee is €35 to €55 incl. VAT depending on distance from our Toulon base. Labor is billed at €65 incl. VAT per hour. For a simple fault like replacing a socket or resetting a breaker, expect €80 to €120 incl. VAT all inclusive. For a short circuit requiring complete circuit replacement with cabling, the budget is €200 to €400 incl. VAT. EAD always provides a free detailed quote before any intervention. We accept payment by credit card, check, and cash. No deposit is required for repairs.

Yes, EAD provides 7-day-a-week emergency electrical repair service, including Sundays and holidays, throughout the Var and PACA region. For critical emergencies (short circuit with burning smell, total outage, water damage on electrical installation, panel out of service), we do our best to intervene the same day in Toulon, Hyères, Fréjus, Saint-Raphaël, Draguignan, Marseille, Nice, and Aix-en-Provence. Weekend and holiday rates include a 30% surcharge on labor only, with the call-out fee unchanged. Call 04 65 84 19 29 for immediate assessment of your situation.

A burning smell near the electrical panel is a critical warning sign requiring immediate intervention. Immediately turn off the main breaker at the bottom of the panel, evacuate vulnerable people (children, elderly), and call EAD at 04 65 84 19 29 without touching the panel. This may indicate an internal short circuit, prolonged overload of an undersized circuit, or loose connection terminals overheating. Our technicians intervene urgently with FLIR thermal cameras to detect invisible hot spots and replace defective components. This phenomenon is particularly common in old Var houses with outdated electrical panels dating from before 1990.

A non-compliant electrical installation poses real and documented risks. Risk of electrocution, particularly with old sockets without ground in Var houses built before 1970. Risk of electrical fire due to undersized cables overloaded by modern appliances (air conditioning, induction hob). Invalidation of your home insurance in case of a claim if the inspection reveals a non-compliant installation. Since January 1, 2009, a Promotelec electrical diagnostic is mandatory for selling a dwelling over 15 years old. If your installation dates from before 1990, it is probably obsolete. EAD performs free compliance audits and complete upgrades throughout the Var and PACA, with delivered and registered compliance certificate.
