Common Problems

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.

Downed service drop

Stay away and call your electric provider, such as Evergy or your city's electric department. Never touch a downed line or anything it's resting on.

Water exposure

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

Lightning and surges

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

Pricing

Electrician Lawrence 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 Evergy or your city's electric department. For damage on your home's side of the meter, call an electrician.

Can I run a generator into my house?

Not through a wall outlet. Backfeeding is dangerous to you and to utility workers. An electrician can install a proper transfer switch or interlock.
