Avoid losing power!
You’re about to sit on the couch and relax when suddenly the television shuts off, your light goes out and now the ice cream in the freezer is melting. What could be wrong?
No power! There’s nothing more stressful than not having electricity. So, how can you detect what went wrong? Start with these basic checks.
Checking for electrical power issues
Unless the rest of your neighbourhood also doesn’t have power then you may have a tripped system. Most tripped systems are isolated which means the whole house will not necessarily lose power. Check to see if any appliances are working.
Look for your fuse box and check if the switches are working.
If one switch is flicked in the other direction then you need to flick it back to restore power. After restoring power, plug your devices back to see which circuit is not working.
Do not attempt to fix anything unless you know how to. Best to call your local Sydney electrician to solve the busted circuit.
If your electrical appliances stops working then see if your fuse in the plug blew up. If you’re not sure how to replace the fuse then best to call a professional electrician.
There could be various other reasons for the power to not work, including damaged and old wiring. Always remember electrical problems may pose a safety risk and can start a home fire. It’s important you always contact a local electrician to solve the issue.
