What should I do when my lights go out?
Answer
Lights?, first check if power is out to the entire street. Power Lines companies generally know when outages occur and promptly begin the restoration process.
If yours is the only house on the stree without power, please call our 24-hour emergency electrical repair service immediately, on 0508 248 935
In either case, safety is first and foremost. Only use a flashlight for emergency lighting, never use candles.
Always keep fresh batteries and a battery-operated radio for use in extreme weather.
Turning off any electrical equipment you were using when the power went out will minimise surges in your lines.
Avoid opening your refrigerator or freezer.
Leaving one light on will help you know when power has been restored.
If you are using a generator, never operate it inside the home or garage.
