If your power
goes out

STEP ONE

The first step to take when the power goes out is to check your service panel or fuse box. If you have a service panel with circuit breakers, check each breaker to see if it has tripped. If all the breakers are in the “on” position (as opposed to “off” or “tripped”), turn off the main breaker, then switch it back “on”.

STEP TWO

If you have a fuse box, make sure the fuses are all intact. Turn off the main power switch, then turn it on again.

STEP THREE

If the power is still off, check the outside disconnect located beneath the electric meter. Not all meters have a breaker switch installed; if you do, flip it to “off,” and then back to “on.”

STEP FOUR

If your electricity is still off, check with neighbors to see if they are also without power. If they have power, there may be a downed line nearby. Do not try and locate the break yourself, but if you see a downed line, assume it is live and move away. Call REMC at the number listed above and we will service you as soon as possible.
