April Fools Day is the day each year we remind you to change the batteries in your Smoke Alarms. Even if they are hard wired, they have a battery back up for if and when the power goes out so these need to be checked annually. Keep your family safe by making sure your smoke alarms are in good working order.

Great advice... And we offer free quotes with written reports for your insurance claims. Let us know if we can help.

If your home or business is flooded and your mains power is still connected, contact Energex 13 19 62 or Ergon 13 16 70 immediately.

Do not use and stay away from any electrical equipment, solar PV systems, switchboards or switches and don’t attempt your own electrical work.

Once the water has subsided, contact a licensed electrician to test the building’s electrical system and hard-wired equipment, before you can be sure it’s safe to have the power restored. If equipment can’t be safely repaired, replace it.

Find a licensed electrician https://fswqap.worksafe.qld.gov.au/elis/ or call 1300 362 128.

Quick Tip: Use a ceiling fan correctly.
⁠
Using ceiling fans in summer can keep you cool. Most ceiling fans also have a switch so you can set the blades to rotate in reverse during the winter. This pushes the warm air near the ceiling down toward the floor to keep you warmer.

Find this switch on the body of the fan and set the blades to turn counter-clockwise in winter. In summer, reverse the direction so the blades move in a clockwise direction. Since fans consume electricity, turn them off when you leave the room.
