What to do now to get your Electricity Back On     
Every home affected by the devastating floods will need to be electrically tested before it can be deemed safe and power can be restored.
 
Here you will find information on what steps you need to take in order to get electricity back up and running in your business or residence.
Below are the two scenarios and the necessary procedures that must be followed.

1. Energex must attended the property and complete a 'Form 3', this will be left in the meter box. The form 3 outlines any electrical defects that Energex finds on this property as a result of flood damage.
2. Tradesmen On Time, (Member of Master Electricians, and fully licensed and Qualified) can then complete your electrical inspection and test
3. Tradesmen On Time will the complete the 'Form 2' and a 'Certification of Test'. This will then be given to Energex.

Home owners with appropriate insurance cover would be able to reclaim the cost of having an electrical contractor perform the necessary checks.
Customers without insurance cover will need to pay the electrical contractor, but many home owners will be eligible to claim those costs back through State Government flood relief funds.
Master Electricians have also stressed the importance of not allowing unlicensed workers or DIY handyman to interfere with water-affected electrical fittings and appliances, saying the risk to human life was just too great.
“A number of media outlets have reported in recent days that more people were killed as a result of electrical accidents after 1974 than were killed in the floods themselves.
“There is a very real risk that even homes that appear safe could have hidden electrical dangers.  These may not appear for weeks or even months after the flood has receded, but if they remain undetected they could cost the life of a loved one.
“We do not need to add further to the tragedy that has hit Queensland in recent weeks, just for the sake of saving a few dollars.
“We urge home owners to engage a licensed contractor to check their properties and to test appliances that have been inundated.
“Please do not rely on friends, family or unlicensed handymen to perform this highly specialised work.”
