Prior to turning on
your main switch - check all overhead lines that
carry electricity to your property
to ensure these have not been damaged over
the winter months.
Check
all wiring around your cottage that runs
exterior equipment such as water pumps, etc.
Ensure
all appliances are turned off and clear
of debris (i.e. base board heaters and stove
tops) prior to energizing.
Ensure the water tank
is full prior to energizing.
If you have an electric
furnace, ensure your chimney is clean prior
to energizing
(i.e. bird's nests
etc.).
All branch circuits
should be in the off position when the main switch
is
turned on. Circuits should
be energized one at a time
after the main switch has been turned on.
