You must repair any damage to your home’s electric system before Lakeland Electric can restore your power. If you feel your home may be unsafe to carry power, call a licensed electrician. We’re not permitted to repair damage to other electrical wiring, the weatherhead or your piping.

Q Why am I the only house on the block without power?

A There could be a number of reasons: (1) fuses or circuit breakers in your home tripped, which causes the flow of power to stop; (2) trees fell on your service cable; (3) the transformer that serves you blew a fuse or is otherwise damaged; (4) the primary line feeding the transformer is de-energized because of damage.

Q Why is my neighbor’s power on and mine is not?

A Even homes that are next to each other may receive power from different transformers or lines.
