Check your fuse box to make sure your main power switch and power point circuit switches are all on.  

  • If they are on and you have no power, 
    • Check with a neighbour or your electicity supplier to see if there is an outage in your area.
    • If there is no outage in your area, check to make sure you have paid your electricity bill
  • If they are off, switch them back on and check your power again.  If you still have no power to your power points, and/or if the power circuits in the meter box switch off again
    • Switch off and unplug every item from ALL power points in the house.
    • Make sure your power circuits are switched on in your fuse box and then plug in one item at a time and turn on at the power point and on the appliance.  
      • If the power remains on, move on to the next item and repeat with each item.
      • If the power turns off again after plugging in any item, unplug that item, turn the power back on at the fuse box and try that item in a different power point.  
        • If the power turns off again. that appliance is faulty and causing the issue.  
          • If you own the appliance, you will need to stop using it immediately and arrange a replacement.  If the owner owns the appliance, lodge a maintenance request advising the appliance is causing the power to trip.
          • If that item does not turn the power off when plugged into a different power point, try plugging a different appliance into the power point that it did trip in.  If it trips again with a different appliance, the power point is faulty.  Lodge a maintenace request for a faulty power point


NOTE: If an electrician attends and finds a fault is caused by an appliance owned by the tenant, the tenant will be required to pay for the electrician's invoice.
