A sudden electrical failure can leave part or all of your home without power. Some outages are caused by the utility provider, while others involve the home’s panel, wiring, breakers, service equipment, or individual circuits.
Preferred Power provides residential electrical repair and power-restoration services for homeowners in Fort Worth and surrounding communities.
Contact an electrician when you experience:
Stop using affected circuits or equipment until the cause can be identified.
When the entire neighborhood is without power, the utility provider is generally responsible for restoring service. If neighboring homes have electricity but your home does not, the problem may involve your electrical service or panel.
Partial outages can also indicate a failed breaker, damaged connection, service issue, or lost electrical phase.
An electrician can inspect the home’s equipment and determine whether repairs are needed on the customer-owned portion of the system.
High winds, lightning, falling branches, and water intrusion can damage electrical service equipment and exterior wiring.
Possible storm-related issues include:
Do not touch damaged service wires or equipment. Keep away from downed power lines and contact the utility provider immediately.
If you see fire, heavy smoke, arcing utility lines, or an immediate threat to people or property, leave the area and call 911. Electrical repairs should begin only after the immediate danger has been addressed.

Q: When is an electrical problem considered an emergency?
A: Sparking, burning odors, smoke, overheated equipment, damaged service wiring, repeated main-breaker trips, storm damage, or sudden partial power loss may require prompt professional attention.
Q: What should I do if only part of my home loses power?
A: Check whether a breaker or GFCI device has tripped. If the problem continues, affects multiple circuits, or involves unusual sounds, heat, or odors, contact an electrician for evaluation.
Q: How do I know if the outage is caused by the utility or my home’s electrical system?
A: If neighboring properties also have no power, the problem may be utility-related. If nearby homes have power but yours does not, the issue may involve your service equipment, panel, or wiring.
Q: What should I do if I see downed power lines or damaged utility equipment?
A: Stay away from the area and contact the utility provider. If there is fire, heavy smoke, or an immediate danger to people or property, call 911.
