What to Do if Your Power Is Interrupted
Power interruptions sometimes may be unavoidable, but knowing what to do can make the difference between a minor inconvenience and a more severe setback. Here’s what to do if you experience a service disruption.
- Check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. Reset your home’s main breaker by switching the breaker off and then completely back on.
- See if your neighbors are without electricity. If they are also without service, please call us at 1-888-883-3379.
- Turn off all electrical appliances that were on when service was disrupted. To help preserve food items, leave the doors to your refrigerator and freezer closed.
- Open the circuit breakers to major appliances to turn them off. Once power is restored, avoid overloading by turning appliances back on in 15-minute intervals.
