In the event of an electrical emergency, locate the circuit breakers or fuses and shut off the power.
Circuit Box- Switch off individual breakers
- Switch off main breaker
Fuse Box
- Unscrew and pull out individual fuses
- Pull out main fuse block -- Use caution: metal parts may be hot.
Electricity Turn-on
When turning the power back on turn on the main switch or breaker first, then screw in the fuses or switch on the smaller breakers, one at a time
Do Not Enter a flooded basement or standing water to shut off the electrical supply. Water conducts electricity and you could be electrocuted.
