Steps to Take In Case Of a Power Outage

Power outages aren’t a common occurrence in most cities or towns in Australia and the power supply is quite steady; and even when there happens to be a power outage in your area, it won’t last for very long time. But there are times when natural disasters and storms can affect the power supply and result in a longer power outage that may last for up to a week or more.

When there is a power outage in your area, you will not be able to use any electrical appliances or equipment or even systems such as the water heaters etc. As a matter of fact, it can also become difficult to charge devices such as laptops and mobile phones once their batteries drain out. Very simply, a power outage affects your day-to-day activities in a big way. If the power outage is restricted to your property, you would have to call in a licensed electrician like us at Quick Connect Electrical to identify what is wrong with the system.

Steps to take

We have been operating in this space for a number of years and know what it takes to provide prompt and reliable services. We understand that electrical emergencies can arise at any time and it’s why we offer 24/7 emergency services to residential and commercial customers across Sydney. Here are the steps to take in case of a power outage on your property:

• It’s important that you don’t panic and check with any of your neighbours about whether they are facing a similar electrical problem.
• If you identify that only your property has been affected, you should check whether any circuit breakers have tripped.
• If that isn’t the problem, check if there is any damage to the main electrical wiring leading to your property.
• In case you do notice some damage to these wires, it’s important that you immediately contact your electricity service provider.
• In case other properties in your local area have been impacted, there are certain precautions you’d have to take.
• Turn off all the switches and unplug all electrical appliances and devices from their sockets.
• If you do have a generator ensure you don’t plug it straight into your home’s electrical system- but if you have the appropriate switchover facilities you can do this.

It’s never a good idea to take a power outage lightly. Call in a skilled electrician like us to get the installations inspected and checked. We would be able to give you a clearer picture about what the problem is and how it can be fixed.
