Fire and Rescue NSW firefighters have rushed to the scene this morning and power to the home has been switched off.
Two fire crews are at the home and a Fire and Rescue NSW said the issue started when the resident turned on their air-conditioner and started to smell something burning.
"They've had a look and seen small flames burning through the manhole," he said.
"The resident has evacuated the house and is waiting outside for firefighters, so we've turned the electricity off until our crews can have a look and make sure there's no confirmed fire."
Firefighters arrived at the Kent Street home at 9.50am and are currently assessing the situation.
