First: Is It You or the Utility?
If the whole neighborhood is dark, it is the utility. If your neighbors have power and you don’t — or only part of your house is out — the problem is on your side of the meter and you need a power outage electrician.
Check the Panel Safely
Open the panel door (not the cover) and look for a breaker sitting between ON and OFF. Flip it fully off, then on. If it trips immediately, leave it off and call us — that is a short circuit. If the main breaker is tripped and will not reset, call an emergency electrician right away.
Burning Smell, Sparks or Smoke
Turn off the main breaker if you can reach it safely and leave the home. Call 911 if there is any flame or continued smoke, then call Kimon Electric at (888) 592-6466. Sparking outlet repair is a same-day priority.
Lights Flickering Everywhere
Whole-house flickering or lights that brighten when an appliance turns on points to a loose or failed neutral — a dangerous condition that can destroy electronics. Unplug sensitive equipment and call for flickering lights repair.
Breaker Keeps Tripping
A breaker that trips repeatedly is doing its job. Unplug everything on that circuit and try once. If it trips with nothing plugged in, there is a wiring fault. Our tripping breaker repair finds the real cause instead of just swapping the breaker.
