Before calling for an emergency service call

Let’s see if we can save you some money. Check these before calling:

  1. Do you have power at the site? Check to be sure you paid the electric bill. Call your local utility to see if there is a power outage in your area.
  2. Is the appliance plugged in? Often the dryer or microwave is not working because it got unplugged. Check that everything is plugged in as needed.
  3. Verify that the outlet has power. You can plug in a floor lamp or a fan to verify that the outlet has power. If it is in the bathroom or kitchen, check that the GFCI outlet has not tripped by pushing the reset button.
  4. Check to see if the circuit breaker has tripped. The panel should open up and show just the black circuit breakers and the metal backing. IF YOU SEE WIRES, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING! When opening the door to the electrical panel, you should NOT see wires exposed. If you only see the breakers and the metal backing (called the dead front), you can check for the breaker that is not all the way in the “ON” position. If the breaker is not all the way in the “ON” position, you can reset it by moving the handle to the fully “OFF” position, then back to the “ON” position. When moving breakers, it is safer to NOT stand in front of the panel. Find the circuit breaker that you are going to move, then stand to the side and look away as you move the breaker. If you are not comfortable with this step, that is something we can do for you. DO NOT TAKE RISKS THAT COULD GIVE A DANGEROUS RESULT! We want to save you money, but not at the risk of causing harm.
  5. For lighting, if a light fixture is not working, check the lamp by switching it with a lamp that is known to work. Verify that any dimmer switches are not set to the fully “OFF” position.

These are just a few steps that could help with common problems. These are not the answer to every possible electrical problem. They are meant to save you time and money from calling an electrician for an easy fix. If you are unsure, please do not risk your health or your property, and call a professional.
