Check for water saturation of your ceilings and light fittings inside and outside. If wet, call us immediately. If there is no obvious damage to your light fittings, turn off all but one light. Check the lighting circuit’s fuse or circuit breaker operation at your switchboard. Turn off your main switch and replace the fuse. Turn the main switch again. If the fuse blows, call YEC.
Power Outage FAQ
How do I know if my appliances have been affected?
If you receive a tingling sensation from any electrical appliances, turn off the electricity immediately. Do not make contact with or let anyone else near the suspected appliance and call YEC.
Is it possible that my electrical supply seems weaker than normal, and why?
Lights being dimmer than usual, hot plates slow to cook, and motors failing to start are all indicative that there might be a problem in the high voltage system. If you observe any of these in your home, turn appliances off and unplug them. Leave a minimum of lights on (such as a fluorescent) and call YEC.
