Has your property been yellow stickered, or does it have evidence of damage to electrical systems due to damage from flooding?
An electrical inspection is required, including an electrical safety certificate (Unison requirement) that confirms your house and property are safe before your property can be reconnected to the grid.
Here are some steps to help:
1) Get in contact with us, and we’ll set up a time and a date to come and look at the electrical systems on your property.
2) We’ll meet you at the property and do our tests.
3) We’ll issue an electrical inspection certificate if your property passes.
4) We will forward your electrical inspection certificate to Unison for review.
5) Unison will contact you (and us) for reconnection.
Our priorities are safety and preventing harm from electricity and further damage to the property. If you need advice or you have any concerns/doubts, we’re here to help. Please call us on 06 833 7551.
