What No Power to the Whole Property Actually Means
If your entire home has lost power but neighbouring houses and the street are fine, the fault is not in your switchboard. It sits in the service mains, point of attachment, or network connection, work only a Level 2 ASP is licensed to touch under AS/NZS 3000.
Common Causes of Total Power Loss in Cardiff Heights Homes
A fault in the service mains
The cable running from the street or pole to your meter has failed, often from age, storm damage, or a loose termination, cutting all supply to the property.
A failed point of attachment
The bracket where the overhead line connects to your house has come loose or broken, disconnecting the property while the street connection stays live and dangerous.
A network connection fault
The main connection at the meter or pit has failed or been disturbed, a Level 2 issue that sits entirely outside your home's internal wiring.
Ageing service connections on older homes
Cardiff Heights' 1950s to 1970s housing stock often still runs original service connections, which are more likely to fail as insulation and fittings age.
Storm or wind exposure on the ridge
Sitting around 102 metres up, Cardiff Heights catches more wind than lower-lying suburbs nearby, and a stressed overhead connection can fail during a storm.
Is Losing All Power to the Property Dangerous?
Yes, a total loss of power while the street stays lit is a genuine Level 2 fault that can involve damaged or live overhead wiring, and it should be treated as urgent.
- Do not touch the meter box, service line, or any exposed wiring near the connection
- A fallen or sagging line near the house should be treated as live until proven otherwise
- This fault sits outside your switchboard, so resetting anything indoors will not fix it
What To Do Right Now
Take these safe steps while you wait, and leave anything electrical alone:
- Check whether neighbouring homes also have no power, which points to a street-wide outage instead.
- Stay well clear of the meter box, service line, and any pole on the property.
- Do not attempt to reset anything at the switchboard, the fault is not there.
- Keep children and pets away from any visible overhead wiring near the house.
- Call a licensed Level 2 ASP (Lic #451348C) straight away.

Common questions
No Power to Whole Property FAQs
These are the questions we hear most from Cardiff Heights homeowners facing a total, sudden power loss.
Is losing power to my whole property dangerous?
Yes, a total loss of power while the street still has power points to a fault in the service mains or connection, which can involve live, damaged wiring and needs urgent attention.
What causes the whole property to lose power at once?
A fault in the service mains, the point of attachment, or the main network connection, none of which sit inside your switchboard, is the usual cause of a total, sudden loss of power.
What should I do if my whole property has no power?
Check that neighbouring properties still have power, then leave the switchboard alone and call a licensed Level 2 ASP, since this fault sits outside the switchboard.
Do I need a Level 2 electrician for this, or a regular electrician?
You need a Level 2 ASP, the only electricians licensed to work on the wiring between the street or pole and your meter, which is where this fault sits.
How much does it cost to fix a whole-property power loss?
We diagnose the fault first and give a fixed, upfront quote before any work, with $0 call-out and a free quote, so there is never a surprise bill.
Are older Cardiff Heights homes prone to this kind of total power loss?
Yes, ageing service connections on 1950s to 1970s Cardiff Heights homes can fail at the point of attachment or in the mains, cutting all power while the street stays lit.
