What Should You Do When Your Electricity Cuts Out?

11.05.18

Picture this, you’re sat on your sofa one evening and you’re just about to tackle the sixth season of your favourite box set when suddenly the lights flicker and go out. Just like that, your home is plunged into darkness and none of your appliances are working.

We don’t want you to be left in the dark, so find out below what you should do when your power cuts out.

Who Should I Call?

Once you’ve located your torch or even lit a few candles to find your way around your home, the first port of call should be us! Calling an emergency electrician if your electrics fail should always be your priority.

Our electricians will be able to assist you with your power outage and let you know what you need to do next. Whether you need to call your power supplier or organise for one of our trained electricians in Cheshire to come and take a look, our helpful staff will guide you on what to do next.

What’s if it’s Just My House?

If you take a look out of your window and see that your neighbours still have their lights on and everything else seems fine, don’t panic! Usually, electricity is supplied by a sub-station and is then split across several grids before it reaches you, so it may be that there are homes on your street with power but not yours!

Once you call our team of electricians, they will be able to advise you on whether or not you will need us to come out and take a look at your electrics. Hopefully, it’s just a fault at the sub-station and your electricity will be back within a matter of hours. In other cases, you may need an emergency electrician to come out and check there are no issues with the wiring or fuse box in your home to be on the safe side.

Leave it to the professionals

Dealing with electricity can be dangerous at the best of times, let alone when you can’t see due to a power outage. Because of this, we highly recommend calling our team of professional electricians in Cheshire to come and assist with your outage.

Our friendly team will be able to come to your home and get you back up and running ensuring you’ll be able to continue binge watching as soon as possible! No matter where you’re located in Cheshire, our electricians are mobile and able to do call outs to Warrington, Runcorn, Widnes, Frodsham, Helsby, Chester and many more locations across the county.

If you’re experiencing a power outage in Cheshire and need to speak with one of our emergency electricians, email us or call us today!
