The length of time it takes to reconnect your supply depends on how the supply was disconnected.
If the supply was physically disconnected and installation is safe:
- We'll reconnect the supply within two working days if we can access your meter and connections
- We'll leave the main isolator switch off as it is your responsibility to turn on the supply in your property and ensure it's safe
- If we can't access the meter, we will leave a card asking you to arrange a time when we can gain access
- If any fault on our supply equipment prevents immediate reconnection, we'll rectify it and notify you of any delay
If the supply was remotely disconnected:
- We'll remotely reconnect the supply within 2 working days
- It's your responsibility to turn on the supply in your property and ensure it's safe
- You'll need access to the meter and, after confirming it's safe to restore power, we'll advise you how to complete the reconnection over the phone.
