  • The fuse box for this property is located outside, behind the cottage, opposite the main entrance door.

    In case of a power outage, please check the fuse box:

    • If any switches are in the ‘off’ position, flip them back to the ‘on’ position.

    • If all switches are on and the issue persists, it is likely an external power supply issue.

    We would recommend either:

    Using the Endevour Energy website to check for any known outages in the area.
