Emergency Questions, Answered Honestly
Half my house lost power. What is that?
Frequently a failed leg on your main service or a bad main breaker. It can involve LCEC’s equipment or yours — we diagnose which side of the meter the problem is on, fix what’s ours to fix, and tell you exactly what to say to the utility if it’s theirs.
My breaker keeps tripping. Can I just keep resetting it?
No. A breaker that trips repeatedly is doing its job — protecting you from a circuit problem. Forcing it on is how electrical fires start. Leave it off and call.
Do you charge more for weekends?
We’re open seven days a week as standard business — and you get the price quoted upfront before we start, every time.
An outlet got wet during a storm. Is it fine now that it dried?
Don’t trust it. Salt and minerals stay behind after water dries and keep conducting. Flooded outlets and panels should be inspected before reuse — it’s a quick visit that prevents a fire.
