Sudden power outage? Don't panic β weβve got your back! This guide will walk you through what to check and what steps to take π§ π
π Before You Try to Fix Anything:
1οΈβ£ Check the LifeX App
We post updates about any planned power cuts from landlords there as soon as we receive them.
2οΈβ£ Is it just one room or the whole apartment?
Try turning on the lights in different rooms to determine how widespread the issue is.
3οΈβ£ Go outside into the hallway
Check if hallway/common area lights are working.
π’ If the Whole Building is Out of Power:
Itβs likely a general area-wide power outage. This may happen due to ongoing construction or maintenance in your neighborhood.

I.

β
β‘οΈ Call Radius Emergency Line: +45 70 20 58 00
(There may be a delay between the issue happening and it appearing on the map.)
π If It's Only Your Apartment:
If your neighbors have electricity, but your apartment doesnβt, it could be due to:
A tripped fuse
A faulty appliance (e.g., kettle, toaster, heater)
The electricity meter being shut off
What you can do:
π Check the electricity meter (usually in the common hallway or in your unit):
β No red light and no screen β contact Radius
β Red light or screen is active β issue might be inside the apartment
π§ Next, check the fuse box (look for the HFI/HPFI safety switch):
If the switch is down, try switching it back up
If it keeps flipping off β unplug recent appliances and try again

π§ Final Tips:
π‘ If power is out, use flashlights instead of candles for safety
π± Charge your phone using a power bank or from a neighborβs outlet if needed
π¦ Unplug electronics youβre not using during the outage β they may get damaged when power returns
