Having electrical issues post-storm and not sure who to call? Check out our quick reference guide below to see if you should call your utility company or an electrician.
Start by identifying where the problem is happening.
Generally, the utility company is responsible for the electrical infrastructure up to the point of service—usually where the power enters your home. Call your utility company if there are neighborhood power outages (if not already reported), damaged utility lines, or issues with the utility’s equipment.
An electrician handles anything on your side of the meter, which means the internal electrical system of your home. Give us a call at 850-562-3691 if you have faulty outlets, tripping breakers, flickering lights, or problems with your electrical panel or home wiring.
Never attempt to handle damaged electrical equipment yourself. Stay safe, Tallahassee!
