If you experience a power outage, please check your fuse box or breaker panel before calling FKEC. Approximately 33% of power outages are breaker issues and should be solved by the homeowner. By checking your breaker panel first, you can minimize your outage time and avoid a possible “false outage call” service fee.
Check your breaker panel or fuse box. A blown fuse or tripped breaker can be the cause of the outage.
If your fuses and circuit breakers are fine and it is possible, see if your neighbors are also without power. This will help our linemen know if it is just your service or perhaps a main breaker.
If you cannot restore your power by resetting the circuit breaker, call us at (305) 852-2431 or (800) 858-8845or via text.
FKEC restores power as quickly and as safely as possible.
