Your Questions. Our Answers
Frequently Asked Questions About Power Outage
You will find answers to all of your most common Electrical Services related questions located here.
What should I do first when power goes out?
First, check if neighbors have power to determine if it's isolated to your home. If only your home is affected, check your main breaker. If it won't reset or the problem persists, call JLM Electric immediately for emergency service in Queen Creek.
Why did only half my house lose power?
This typically indicates you've lost one phase (leg) of your 240V service. Common causes include service entrance problems, main breaker failure, or utility issues. This requires immediate professional diagnosis as it can damage appliances.
Can I use a generator during an outage?
Only with proper transfer switch installation. Never backfeed through an outlet or connect directly to your panel. JLM Electric installs code-compliant transfer switches allowing safe generator use during Queen Creek power outages.
How long does power outage repair take?
Repair time varies by cause. Simple main breaker replacement takes 1-2 hours. Service entrance repairs may take 4-6 hours. Underground service problems could take longer. We provide temporary power options for extended repairs.
Does insurance cover power outage damage?
Many homeowner's policies cover power outage damage from storms or equipment failure. JLM Electric provides detailed documentation of repairs and damage cause to support insurance claims for Queen Creek residents.
