After a power cut

What to do following a power cut:

• to avoid a power surge, give the electricity system time to stabilise:
  • increase the thermostat(s) for the heating system,
  • do not turn on all your electronic appliances at the same time
  • start with the ones you most need such as fridges and freezers;
  • and wait 10 to 15 minutes before plugging in other devices;
• before restoring power, ensure the water heater is full;
  
• turn on the water supply and the taps to allow air to escape:
• turn off taps on the ground floor of your home to enable air to escape from the upper taps.

In the event of danger or an emergency, call 112.
