Your power can be out for many reasons — storm damage to utility lines, a tripped main breaker, a blown fuse on the utility transformer, scheduled maintenance, an overloaded grid, or an issue inside your home like a tripped panel breaker or loose service connection. Whether it’s the utility or your side of the meter determines who handles the fix.
How to tell utility vs. home issue
- Neighbors out too — utility outage; call the power company
- Only your house out — check the main breaker first
- Only part of your house out — tripped breaker or GFCI on a single circuit
- Lights dim across the whole house — possible lost neutral, urgent call
If the outage is on your side of the meter, we offer 24/7 emergency electrician service and full power restoration. For permanent backup, consider a whole-home generator.
