Acting correctly in the first minutes limits damage, keeps people safe and makes the technician&#8217;s job faster.<\/p>\n<h2>Rule one: safety first<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Do not touch electrical equipment or switches if the floor is wet.<\/li>\n<li>If you smell burning or see smoke, switch off the main breaker only if it is safe to do so, evacuate and call Civil Defence on 999.<\/li>\n<li>Do not open electrical panels or attempt wiring repairs yourself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Power cut<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Check whether the outage is only in your building or the whole area.<\/li>\n<li>Check the distribution board. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, do not keep trying: it points to a fault that needs a technician.<\/li>\n<li>Unplug sensitive equipment to protect it from a sudden power return.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Water leak<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Close the main stop valve or the valve for the affected area immediately.<\/li>\n<li>Isolate power to the wet area if it is near sockets or appliances.<\/li>\n<li>Move furniture, documents and devices away from the water.<\/li>\n<li>Take photos of the leak; they help the technician find the cause quickly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>AC breakdown<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Check the remote settings and make sure the AC breaker has not tripped.<\/li>\n<li>Check the filter; a blocked filter can stop cooling or freeze the coil.<\/li>\n<li>If the indoor unit is leaking water, switch it off until it is inspected.<\/li>\n<li>Do not restart a unit again and again if it keeps shutting down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What to have ready before you call<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The exact address and an on-site contact number.<\/li>\n<li>A short description of the problem and when it started, with photos or a short video.<\/li>\n<li>The equipment type and model, if possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Reducing emergencies in the first place<\/h2>\n<p>Most sudden failures give early warning signs that <a href=\"\/en\/services\/general-maintenance\/\">planned preventive maintenance<\/a> can catch: panel inspections, AC servicing and plumbing checks.
