Signs to Watch For

Generator safety

Never plug a generator into a wall outlet. Ask an electrician about a properly installed transfer switch or interlock.

Lightning and surges

After a nearby strike, electronics, outlets or breakers may be damaged. An electrician can check what was affected.

Water exposure

Outlets, panels or wiring that got wet should be inspected before power is restored to them.

Tree and limb damage

Falling limbs can damage exterior wiring, fixtures and the connection to your home.

Downed service drop

Stay away and call your electric provider, such as SWEPCO or Ozarks Electric Cooperative. Never touch a downed line or anything it's resting on.

Damaged mast or meter base

A pulled-down service mast or a damaged meter base usually has to be repaired before the utility can reconnect.

Pricing

Electrician Fayetteville does not set prices. Costs depend on what the electrician finds, access, parts and labor. Ask the independent provider about any trip or diagnostic fee and the proposed cost before work begins.

Questions

Who do I call first after a storm?

Report outages and downed lines to your electric provider, such as SWEPCO or Ozarks Electric Cooperative. For damage on your home's side of the meter, call an electrician.
