OUTAGES



When surffering from powere cuts or lectricity outages...

Please do not be afraid

Normally, your power will be connected again pretty fast. It will be a good idea to take a look out your window and check whether other houses in the neighbourhood appear to be without power too.

If others in your community do not have power as well, then your local network company may already know about the fault, and you should just sit tight. You may check the website of your network company (line company), as showed below.

Alternatively, you may also lose power due to an overloaded circuit or faulty appliance.

You can reset the power by checking your switchboard and flicking any switches in the ‘off’ to the ‘on’ position. If that doesn’t reset the power (and you can’t easily identify the cause of the problem) then call us to register a fault. Never attempt to pull fuses or switches from your meter board – this must only be done by an experienced electrician. Because so many things can cause a power cut, keep a well-stocked emergency kit.



Medical dependency

Please do not be afraid

If the disconnection has threatened the wellbeing of someone in your property, please call 111 immediately. Moreover, it is significant to let us know if someone relies on electricity for an approved life support equipment in your property. Please be prepared, it is easy to submit a ticket via this link for medical dependence.
