In the event of a power cut, please note the following safety advice:

Avoid the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning

Never run generators or other petrol or diesel equipment indoors, under cover or close to access points in the property such as doors, windows or ventilation points.

Never use barbeques, patio heaters or other outdoor fuel burning equipment indoors or under cover. If your power is off, it might be tempting to find alternative means of cooking and heating, but these appliances can produce large amounts of carbon monoxide and should only ever be used outdoors in a well-ventilated area. 

Never use an indoor cooking appliance to try and heat a room.

If you’re lighting a fire in the grate, make sure your chimney has been swept and isn’t blocked and ensure the room is properly ventilated.

Gas appliances may be affected during a power cut

During a power cut, gas supplies and your gas meter should continue to operate as normal. Gas appliances, however, may be affected. 

If the boiler or other appliances are not working after power has been restored and cannot be reset, please contact a Registered Gas Installer – you’ll find one on rgi.ie.
