No Electricity?
- Have you contacted Synergy? There may be a fault in the area.
- If renting a unit – have you checked with a neighbour? It may be the Body Corporate that needs to be contacted for action.
- Have you checked your fuse box? There may have been an overload and the safety switch has been activated and needs re-setting.
No hot water?
- Is it gas or electric? Have you arranged connection of your gas or electricity? If it is an electric hot water system:
- Have you checked to see if your hot water system needs re-filling/topping up? There is normally a copper valve on electric hot water systems and an overflow pipe. This quite commonly needs to be carried out every six months or so. Have you checked the fuse in the metre box? Has someone turned off the fuse by mistake? Have you checked that the water tap on the hot water system itself is turned on?
If it is a gas hot water system: - Have you checked to see if your pilot light has gone out? Most units are easily relit – follow the instructions normally located to the inside of the system. If you have gas cylinders are they empty?
- Have you checked to see if your hot water system needs re-filling/topping up? There is normally a copper valve on electric hot water systems and an overflow pipe. This quite commonly needs to be carried out every six months or so. Have you checked the fuse in the metre box? Has someone turned off the fuse by mistake? Have you checked that the water tap on the hot water system itself is turned on?
Lights not working?
- Have you checked your fuse box? If there has been an overload the safety switch may need resetting.
- Have you replaced the light bulbs (and starters for fluoro tubes)?
Power points not working?
- Have you checked your fuse box? There may have been an overload and the safety switch has been activated and needs re-setting.
- Have you checked if one of your appliances were faulty?
- Unplug all appliances in the house. Reset the safety switch in the metre box. If the safety switch trips or blows again with nothing plugged in, contact our office. If all is well with nothing plugged in, it is likely an appliance is faulty. Once you have unplugged all of your appliances and re-set the safety switch, start plugging in your appliances one by one. For example: plug in your fridge and check the safety switch has not clicked off. If the safety switch does click off you know that there is a fault with the fridge and you need to get it repaired. Otherwise disconnect the fridge and plug in the stereo and continue the same process checking all of your appliances until the faulty appliance is located. If the electrician attends to the job and finds the fault is with one of your appliances, you will be charged their fees.
Stove element is not working?
- Have you checked the connections to make sure they are not loose or dirty? Sometimes pulling the element out and cleaning them and putting back in again can fix the problem. Please remember to switch off the power to the stove prior to touching the elements.
- Some stoves have on/off switches, usually on the wall near the stove, below the benchtop or in a near by cabinet. Please check for this switch and ensure its in the “on” position.

- Pipes (under the basin in cupboards, feel for any leaks or dampness)
