Electricity and Gas

Using the Electricity for the First Time

 Flipping the circuit breaker switch up connects the electricity supply. If the electricity works properly, complete the application postcard placed near the circuit breaker switch by writing your name, address and the date from which you started using the electricity, and send the postcard to the Tokyo Electric Power Company. If the electricity does not work even after switching the circuit breaker on, you should contact your local Tokyo Electric Power Company office. When you want to stop the electricity, such as when you move out, you must call the Tokyo Electric Power Company in advance.

When There Is a Blackout in Your Home

 If you overload a circuit or there is a short-circuit, the electricity turns off automatically. If this happens, you should reduce the number of appliances in use and reset the circuit breaker switch. The electricity should go back on.
