Faulty switches or fans:

Do not attempt to fix it yourself. Do not use switches if they are faulty. Contact our Agency as soon as possible or refer to emergency contact for out of hours.

First, check if the safety switch is turned on. Second, check if the safety switch in the power box has tripped or blown a fuse. Contact us to arrange for professional help.

If your supply of hot water is not hot or does not seem to last as long as it should, your hot water system may need topping up. Locate the filler valve on the side of the hot water system and lift the floppy lever until water flows from the overflow. Repeat this process every few months. Otherwise, check if the power is switched on, if the power box tripped the switch or blown a fuse, has your shower routine changed or increased (tank capacity and/or tariff rates will affect this). Remember in winter, efficiency of the tank is less than in summer and the water will cool quicker.

Note: Please follow the above procedure before requesting maintenance. If this does not rectify the problem please complete a repair advice form. Remember a leaking hot water tap will cause tap will cause poor supply of hot water and high electricity accounts.

Please report this by emailing our agency to arrange a tradesperson for repairs. Regular mopping and turning off the tap between uses is adequate until the tradesperson arrives.

First, check if the bulb has blown. If not, check the power box to ensure the power is on and the switch has not tripped. If the lights still aren’t working, contact your property manager.

• Water level is a priority and must be kept at a level to allow water to flow through the skimmer boxes at all times. Failure to do this could result in enormous expenditure to you.
• No metal objects are to be allowed in the pool as it could cause corrosion marks.
• No animals allowed in the pool as this creates a huge chemical imbalance
• Ensure regular water testing for correct PH level to prevent mould or fungus forming in the pool.
• Vacuum at least once a week to keep pool clear of debris
• Regular checks of the pump to ensure the motor is working correctly and efficiently (making funny noises could be a forerunner to a problem). Leaking or pooling water at the pump could mean a cracked casing and will need attention.
• Even if a pool is maintained for you, it is your responsibility to alert your Property Manager if there are any problems.

If your neighbours have also lost power contact your Electricity Provider or Energex. Otherwise, check if your Safety Switch has tripped. If so, reset the switch. If it trips again, unplug all appliances from power points. Reset the Safety Switch and plug in appliances one at a time until the faulty appliance is located. 

Note: If this does not rectify the problem please notify our agency. Tenants will be required to pay for callouts where a faulty appliance belonging to them has caused the problem.
