When you move into a property, it is helpful to know where important items are located. Take the time to know or locate the following:
- Main circuit breaker in the event of a power outage
- Gas shutoff valve – turn off during emergencies/disasters for safety
- GFI plug(s) – so you can check them if your plugs or appliances in the bathroom, kitchen, patio or garage fail to work
- Electric and/or gas meters to check your utility bills
- The main water shutoff valve in case of flooding
- Water shutoff valves below the sinks and behind toilets in case of water leaks
- Method of cleaning for the oven so you use the right products
- Timed bake knobs on the oven – in the event the oven will not work, these may be on
If you are uncertain about any of the above items, contact your PPS management team for help.
