Hi, sorry  to hear of your predicament during this difficult time . It is highly likely you are correct on the problem being the transformers , but who told you that it was ?

As Les mentioned, it will likely be the step down transformers for your lighting, often they run a few off one transformer depending on the number and rating of fittings you have.

Personally, I would not class this as an emergency, UNLESS, this leaves you with no lighting and therefore the area is unsafe.

That said, I do know that electricians (and plumbers etc for that matter) are still allowed to provide emergency cover and are doing so.

If you need a spark in your area then I would drop 'Villas' a note as he is in your area and a troubleshooter for those sorts of trades.

Unfortunately I am stuck in the UK or I would have helped!
