An electrician you can actually talk to
Dealing with an electrical problem in a foreign country is stressful — especially when the emergency hotline only speaks German. Electrician Experts bridges that gap. You describe the problem in plain English, and we organise a certified electrician to come to you, anywhere in Moers.
We handle everything from the small and annoying — a socket that suddenly stopped working — to the genuinely urgent, like a burning smell from the fuse box or a complete power loss in your flat. Our partner electricians work to German VDE safety standards, so the job is done properly and safely the first time.
There's no need to understand German electrical jargon, decode a confusing bill, or wait days for someone who can explain what's going on. One call, in your language, and help is on the way.
We work the way you would expect a service to work back home: clear communication, a professional who turns up, and an honest explanation of what is wrong and what it will take to fix it. Because we coordinate a network of partner electricians rather than a single van, there is usually someone available even at awkward hours — which matters when the power goes out on a Sunday night.

Electrical emergency: what to do right now
Follow these steps to stay safe before help arrives. Use the arrows to go step by step.
Stay calm — check for immediate danger
Before anything else: do not touch exposed wiring, wet surfaces near outlets, or anything that is warm, smoking or sparking. Your safety comes first.
- Burning smell or scorch marks? — Leave the area, ventilate if possible, and call us immediately.
- Sparks or fizzing sounds? — Switch off the main breaker if you can reach it safely, then call.
- Flooding near electrics? — Do not enter the area. Turn off the main breaker at a distance if possible.
Locate your fuse box (Sicherungskasten)
The consumer unit controls all the electrical circuits in your home. In German flats it is commonly found in:
- The hallway — often a metal box behind a panel or in a cupboard near the front door.
- The basement — in many older apartment buildings, the Sicherungskasten is in the Keller.
- A utility area or corridor — check near the electricity meter if you have seen one.
Open the cover carefully. You will see rows of switches — those are the circuit breakers (Leitungsschutzschalter) and at least one RCD (FI-Schalter, usually wider than the others).
Try resetting — once
Look for any switch that is in the off position or sitting in a middle position. That is the tripped breaker.
- Flip it firmly to off first, then back to on.
- If it holds — the problem may have been a temporary overload. Monitor and see if it trips again.
- If it trips again immediately — stop. Do not keep forcing it on.
Isolate the likely cause
If resetting did not hold, try to identify the faulty device or circuit before calling:
- Unplug appliances on the affected circuit one by one, then try the breaker again after each.
- If the breaker holds after unplugging a specific appliance — that device is the likely culprit. Take it out of service.
- If the RCD (the wider switch) tripped — go room by room: unplug everything in the bathroom, kitchen and outdoor sockets first, as these are the most common sources of earth faults.
Make a note of which circuit is affected (check the label inside the fuse box if there is one) — it helps the electrician diagnose faster.
Call a certified electrician
If the breaker keeps tripping, you cannot find the cause, the problem affects multiple circuits, or you noticed any of the warning signs from Step 1 — it's time to call.
You do not need to understand German electrical terminology. Just describe what you saw and heard — we handle the rest.

What to do in an electrical emergency
A few calm steps can keep you safe before help arrives.
If you lose power in part of your home, the most likely cause is a tripped circuit breaker or RCD in your consumer unit (the Sicherungskasten). Find the unit — often in the hallway, basement or a cupboard near the front door — and check whether one of the switches has flipped to the off position. You can try switching it back on once. If it trips again immediately, stop: something on that circuit is faulty, and repeatedly forcing it on can be dangerous.
If you smell burning, see scorch marks around a socket, or notice sparks, switch off the main breaker if it is safe to reach, unplug nearby appliances, and ventilate the room. Do not pour water on an electrical fire. Then call us — these are exactly the situations where a certified electrician needs to attend quickly, and our line is staffed around the clock.
For anything involving the fuse box itself, wet conditions, or wiring inside walls, leave it to a professional. German installations follow strict VDE rules for good reason, and a qualified electrician has the testing equipment to find the real fault rather than just papering over the symptom. While you wait, keep children and pets away from the affected area and avoid touching anything metal connected to the supply.
How electrical work is handled in Germany
A little context makes the whole process less stressful.
Germany takes electrical safety seriously. Domestic and commercial installations are governed by VDE standards, and certain work must be carried out or signed off by a qualified electrician (Elektrofachkraft). That is good news for you as a resident: it means the person fixing your problem is trained, insured and working to a recognised standard — but it also means a quick DIY fix you might attempt elsewhere is often neither legal nor safe here.
Most German homes use a consumer unit with individual miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) for each circuit, plus at least one residual-current device (the RCD, or FI-Schalter) that cuts the power in a fraction of a second if it detects a fault to earth. If your RCD keeps tripping, it is usually protecting you from a genuine fault — for example moisture in an outdoor socket or a failing appliance — rather than misbehaving. An electrician can isolate each circuit to find the culprit quickly.
Older buildings (Altbau) can have charming features and challenging wiring in equal measure: too few sockets, no earth on some circuits, or an undersized fuse box that struggles with modern appliances. If you have just moved in, an inspection is a sensible first step — it tells you whether the installation is safe and where it could be improved before a problem forces the issue.
Whatever the situation, you do not have to navigate it alone or in German. Describe what you are seeing, and we will translate that into the right kind of help: an emergency call-out, a fault diagnosis, an upgrade, or simply a professional second opinion.

A simple bridge between you and a certified electrician
Electrician Experts is run by an English-speaking team that arranges electrical help for people living in, working in or visiting Germany. We are not a faceless directory and we are not asking you to compare quotes for hours. You tell us what is wrong; we organise a certified partner electrician and stay reachable if you have questions.
Because we operate as a referral service, the work itself is carried out by vetted cooperation partners who hold the relevant German qualifications and insurance. That structure lets us cover a huge area — more than two hundred cities and every federal state — while keeping the experience personal and in your language. It also means that when you call at three in the morning because the lights have gone out and there is a faint smell of burning, someone picks up.
We deliberately keep things transparent. We will never pressure you into a price over the website, invent an urgent problem, or promise an unrealistic arrival time just to win the call. The attending electrician explains the likely cause and the cost before starting, so there are no surprises. If a job turns out to be smaller than feared, that is good news you hear in plain English.
From a single dead socket to a full rewire, from a Sunday-night emergency to a planned EV wallbox installation, the starting point is always the same: one phone number, answered in English, twenty-four hours a day.
Electrical help, explained in plain English
Frequently asked questions
How much does an electrician cost in Moers?
Price depends on the job. A call-out fee (typically €50–100) covers the electrician's diagnosis and visit; repair costs are quoted separately once they've identified the problem. We don't offer fixed prices in advance because every fault is different. The attending electrician in Moers will explain the quote before starting, so you're never surprised.
How quickly can an electrician reach me in Moers?
For emergencies, we usually dispatch within 120 minutes in Moers and surrounding Wesel areas. Once the electrician is allocated, they'll contact you directly with their ETA. For non-urgent work, you can schedule a time that suits you, often same-day or next-day depending on demand.
Are your electricians in Moers English-speaking?
Yes. Our dispatch team answers in English 24/7 on 0151 611 342 71. We specialise in serving English-speaking expats, international workers, and tourists across Germany, including Moers. The attending electrician may not speak perfect English, but we ensure clear communication about the problem and the fix.
Who pays for repairs—me or my landlord in Moers?
In Germany, the landlord is responsible for maintaining essential systems, including electrics, under rental law. If you're renting in Moers, inform us when you call, and we'll coordinate with your landlord if needed. If you own your home, you're responsible. Either way, call us first; we'll clarify who should be billed once we understand the situation.
Can I call for an emergency outside normal working hours in Moers?
Absolutely. Our emergency hotline 0151 611 342 71 is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and public holidays. A real person answers immediately; there's no hold queue. If it's a true emergency—power cut, burning smell, or sparking—we prioritise dispatch.
What's an RCD switch and why did mine trip in Moers?
An RCD (residual-current device), or FI-Schalter in German, is a life-saving safety switch in your consumer unit. It cuts power instantly if it detects an earth fault—for example, if you touch a live wire or water enters an appliance. If it trips repeatedly after resetting, there's a fault that must be fixed. Call us immediately; don't ignore repeated trips. A single trip might just be a damp appliance, but persistent tripping needs diagnosis.
Do you install EV wallboxes for electric vehicles in Moers?
Yes. EV wallbox installation is increasingly common in Moers as electric vehicles grow in popularity. Our partner electricians handle the full installation—assessment of your grid capacity, electrical work, and liaison with the local utility. It's a certified job requiring VDE compliance. Call us to discuss your needs and get a quote.
What if I'm unsure whether my electrical fault is an emergency?
Call us anyway. When you ring 0151 611 342 71, our dispatcher will ask about symptoms—burning smells, sparks, power loss—and advise whether you need immediate dispatch or can safely wait for a daytime appointment. There's no penalty for calling; we'd rather you be safe. Describe what you've noticed, and we'll help you decide.
