A room-by-room preventive checklist for Indian flats and villas.
What to review
- Record repeated tripping, flickering, hot plugs and burning odours before the visit.
- Check whether ACs, geysers, ovens and induction cooktops have suitable dedicated circuits.
- Keep the DB accessible and verify that circuit labels are understandable.
- Ask a qualified person to review earthing and protection devices after alterations.
When to stop and call a professional
Stop using equipment or a circuit when there is heat damage, smoke, burning odour, sparking, repeated protective-device operation or electric shock sensation. Do not open energized equipment unless you are qualified and authorized to do so.
Emergency: If there is active fire, smoke, gas leakage or immediate danger, leave the area, warn others and contact the local emergency service. A website checklist is not an emergency response service.
