It is easy to replace a lightbulb for most light fittings. You may remove the old light bulb to check whether it is a Bayonet or Screw-in type. You can find replacement light bulbs in supermarkets or on online stores. We recommend using LED light bulbs which save energy and last longer.

The air in your home contains moisture which may condense on cold surfaces such as windows and external walls. You can avoid condensation by keeping your home warm and well ventilated. If your home does not feature MVHR (mechanical ventilation heat recovery), you may open the windows for a few minutes a day. You may monitor humidity with a battery-operated humidity meter.

Your fridge will usually have a temperature gauge for the fridge and freezer compartments, where available. Please refer to your fridge manufacturer’s manual for more information on how to set the correct temperature and save energy.

If a big electric appliance (oven, fridge, washing machine etc) is not working, it may be that its fused spur switch was accidentally turned off. Spur switches are usually found in one of the kitchen cupboards on inside the utility room. The switch will usually be labelled with the name of the appliance it controls, eg. Washing machine. If the switch is off, turn it back on and check whether the appliance now works normally. If not, the fuse may have failed and need replacing. Always use a fuse with the correct amp rating for your appliance.

If there is still no electricity to the appliance, or some or all areas of your home have no power, check your consumer unit. It is a metal box usually located in the utility room. If a switch has tripped, try to turn it back on. If the switch keeps tripping, then there may be a short circuit. Please let us know and we will arrange a visit by a member of our Home Professional Team.

In some instances, there may be a power failure in your building or wider area. Please pay attention for any announcements by your building manager or utility provider.

Please contact us through the app to request additional keys to your home.
