Tips for flats and housing societies
- If the whole flat loses power, check with your society maintenance office first — the problem may be in the meter room or building supply.
- Electrical work that needs the flat’s supply switched off at the meter may need the maintenance team’s help.
- For Diwali lights, avoid overloading balcony sockets and do not run wires over railings into neighbours’ balconies.
- Make sure your flat has a working RCCB (residual current circuit breaker) — it can save lives during a shock.
How to prepare
- Buy the fan, light or fixture beforehand, or ask the electrician to bring one.
- Clear access to the switchboard and MCB box.
