Don’t Gamble with Home Emergencies This Public Holiday

Enjoy a Stress-Free Melbourne Cup Day at Home

Melbourne Cup Day — the first Tuesday in November — is more than just a race. It’s a beloved public holiday and a moment for Melburnians to relax before the Christmas rush kicks in. But while “The Race That Stops a Nation” might bring the city to a standstill, plumbing and electrical issues don’t pause for anyone.

Whether you’re hosting friends in Brunswick, getting ready for a family lunch in Moonee Ponds, or simply enjoying a quiet morning in Fitzroy North, a sudden burst pipe in the kitchen or loss of power can turn your day upside down. But don’t worry — 247 Plumbelec Emergency Services has you covered.

We’re Melbourne’s trusted 24/7 plumbing and electrical maintenance experts, ready to respond any day, any hour — including public holidays. Because your peace of mind is always in season.

No Extra Fees on Public Holidays

A common concern when calling a tradie during a public holiday is the sting of unexpected callout charges. At 247 Plumbelec, we believe in upfront, fixed pricing — no hidden fees, no surprises.

You’ll pay the same rates on Melbourne Cup Day as you would on any regular Tuesday. Whether it’s an urgent switchboard repair in Carlton or an electrical fault in Strathmore, we don’t charge extra just because it’s a holiday.
