What to do during a power cut in Carluke
- Call 105 - confirm whether the outage is a known fault or limited to your property. The call is free from mobiles and landlines.
- Check your fuse box - if only your home is affected, the issue may be internal. Reset any tripped switches on your consumer unit.
- Unplug sensitive appliances - computers, TVs, and other electronics can be damaged by power surges when supply is restored.
- Keep fridges and freezers closed - a full freezer can keep food frozen for up to 48 hours if the door stays shut.
- Use torches instead of candles - for safety, avoid naked flames during power cuts.
