Electrical faults we can arrange help for
Electrical problems are stressful, especially in an unfamiliar country. Stark365 arranges an emergency electrician in Berlin when the power in your flat has gone, when the circuit breaker or the RCD (FI-Schalter) keeps tripping, after a short circuit, or when sockets and light switches are broken. We can also arrange someone to connect a new electric cooker.
Berlin has a real mix of housing. In an older Altbau the wiring may have been renewed in stages over the years, while Plattenbau flats and new builds usually have a more modern fuse box (Sicherungskasten), often in the hallway. If only your flat is dark but the stairwell lights still work, the cause is probably inside your flat. If the whole building or street is dark, it may be a wider outage.
Ring our number and explain what you can see. During the call we work out whether and when an electrician can get to you and line up the right person. The electrician checks the fault on site, gives you a quote, and only starts once you agree. Please have your address and the name on your doorbell ready.
Safe steps while you wait
- Check the fuse box: If a breaker or the RCD has switched off, you can try switching it back on once.
- Unplug appliances: If it trips again, unplug the devices in that room – a faulty kettle or heater can be the cause.
- Burning smell: If you smell burning or see smoke, switch off at the fuse box if it is safe, leave and call 112.
- Hands off wiring: Do not open sockets, switches or cables yourself – leave this to the electrician.

Frequently asked questions
Is English spoken on the phone?
Our team on the phone speaks basic English. Please use short, simple words, such as 'no power' or 'fuse trips', and give your address. Reading out the German sentences on this page is a good way to make sure we understand you correctly.
The RCD switches off every time I turn it on. What now?
Leave it off and unplug the appliances in the affected rooms, then try once more. If it still trips, there may be a fault in the wiring or in a built-in device. Call us and we will arrange an electrician to find the cause.
Can you connect my new cooker?
Yes, we can arrange an electrician to connect an electric cooker or hob. Tell us on the phone what kind of appliance it is. The electrician will look at the connection on site and give you a quote before starting.
What should I do if I smell burning?
Switch off the power at the fuse box if you can do so safely, leave the flat and call the fire brigade on 112. Once everything is safe again, we can arrange an electrician to check and repair the damage.
