Perfect Timing
Yay for power failures. I really love them. Especially when it’s the first day of working from home and I can’t do anything because my internet connection is no longer functioning.
We lost power at about 11am and called energex pretty much straight away. The fault information line ‘did not know of any faults in our area’ so we reported one. After making us check the fuse box to ensure it wasn’t a blown fuse *lol*, they logged a job and said that someone would be here within 2 hours.
The first energex man turned up within 40 - 50 minutes. After quickly checking our fuse box he then started to check out the pillar. Fastforward to 12:30pm and another energex man turns up. The both work on the pillar for a little while and by 1pm we had power back. Apparently the fuse in the pillar for our house had burned out. It looked like it had been on the way out for a while, so that means that there was nothing that we did that had caused it.
Thankyou mister energex man. I can get back to work now.

Positively, at least they fixed it within the timeframe they had suggested.

We had the exact same thing happen on the weekend, we were the only ones without power, fuse and safety switch looked fined. Called energex and they came out within 2 hours and did their thing.
The guy said the new company fuses are worse then the old ones too, isn’t that great haha.
