Electricity
Electricity usage is calculated each month via a tier system:
- Domestic electricity customers have two tiers: which are only applicable to Domestic customers.
- Commercial, industrial and streetlight customers have one tier each.
Tiers are based on the service, each having a different tariff rate.
If you have a electric meter and your latest bill is higher than normal, don’t panic – there could be a simple explanation. Before you give us a call, please check the following:
#1 – Have you recently bought and started using new electronics? Are you using the ones you have in your home more often than in the past?
#2 – Do you have old electrical appliances in your house?
#3 – Are you keeping a lot of appliances plugged in when they aren’t in use?
#4 – Do you have light bulbs that are not energy efficient?
#5 – Is your house is not properly insulated?
- When all else fails, call an electrician.
When an electrical circuit malfunctions, it can seek a path to ground outside the established wires of the system, and such a situation is known as a ground fault. It is a dangerous situation, because when such a problem occurs, a human in contact with the wiring may suddenly become part of the easiest pathway to ground.
- Loose connections
- Worn wire insulation
- Mis-wiring that causes the hot (or live) wire to directly connect with another pathway to ground
- Ground faults cause an enormous, sudden increase in current flow.
- When a ground fault causes current to spike in this way, the circuit breaker for circuits should trip and shut off the power.
Flickering lights are indicative of a dangerous electrical issue, such as:
- a loose circuit connection
- overheated wiring
- splices coming apart
- a fried fixture
- a failing breaker switch
- and an overloaded circuit
Call an electrician to look at the issue and have it fixed.
Water
If you have a water meter and your latest bill is higher than normal, don’t panic – there could be a simple explanation. Before you give us a call, please check the following below:
#1 – Are there more people living in your home?
#2 – Do you have any new water-hungry appliances in your home?
#3 – Do you have a leak on your property?
#4 – Have you been using more water in the garden?
During its journey to your taps, the most common cause of discoloration is a change in the flow or pressure within the pipes – for example: as a result of a burst main in your area.
Water may be turned off due to one or more of the following reasons:
- Disconnection for non-payment.
- Repair of pipes at your house or apartment
- Maintenance work in your area
The main reasons for low pressure are:
- Burst pipes
- Home plumbing problems.
- High demand in the morning and the number of people sharing a water supply can all cause low pressure.
In order to conserve water customers must ensure that they fix all leaking faucets and toilets
