Lost power? Start here
A power loss can come from the utility, the meter base, the main breaker, a single branch circuit, or one loose neutral. The fix is very different for each, so the first few minutes on the phone matter. Related reading: breakers that trip after a power outage and backup generator installation.
- Check whether neighbors are dark too. If the whole street is out, it is usually a utility outage and PG&E is the first call.
- If only your home is dark, look at the main breaker. If only some rooms are dead, look for a tripped breaker or a GFCI outlet in a bathroom, kitchen, garage or outside wall.
- Lights that glow dim, flicker, or get brighter when something big turns on can point to a lost neutral. That one is a hazard, so call us instead of resetting things.
What we ask about a power loss
- Is it the whole home, half the home, or a few outlets and lights?
- Did it happen during a storm, after a utility outage, or when a large appliance like the AC started?
- Did any breaker trip, and does it trip again as soon as you reset it?
- Are any lights dimmer or brighter than normal right now?
What we check on site
We work from the utility side in, so we do not replace parts that were never the problem.
Service and meter
We measure voltage on both legs at the meter and main. Losing one leg is a common reason half a house goes dark while the rest still works.
Main breaker and bus
We look for a main that has tripped or failed, and for heat damage where breakers clip onto the bus.
Neutral and ground
A loose or corroded neutral can make voltage swing room to room. We tighten or repair it and confirm readings under load.
Branch circuits and GFCIs
For a few dead rooms we trace the circuit from the breaker to the first dead device, including GFCIs that feed outlets downstream.
While you wait
- Unplug computers, TVs and other electronics so they are not hit when power comes back.
- Do not run a portable generator into a wall outlet or panel. That can send power back onto the utility line.
- Keep the fridge and freezer closed as much as you can.
- If you see a downed line outside, stay away from it and call PG&E and 911.

Power loss questions
- How do I know if the outage is PG&E or my house?
- If neighbors are out too, it is likely a utility outage. If your home is the only one dark, or only part of your home is out, the problem is more likely at your meter, main breaker, or wiring. We can help you sort it out on the phone.
- Why is only half my house without power?
- Homes are fed by two legs of power. If one leg is lost at the utility connection, the meter, or the main, roughly half of your circuits go dead and 240-volt appliances may not run. We measure each leg to find where it drops.
- My lights are dim and flickering. Is that an emergency?
- It can be. Dim or surging lights can mean a loose neutral, which can damage electronics and overheat connections. Turn off sensitive equipment and call us.
- A breaker trips as soon as I reset it. Should I keep trying?
- No. A breaker that trips again right away is reacting to a fault. Leave it off and call so we can find the short or failed part.
- Can you restore power after PG&E has disconnected service?
- If the utility disconnected service for a safety problem at your service equipment, we can repair the electrical side. The utility decides when to reconnect, and we tell you what they will likely want to see.
- Do you take power loss calls at night?
- Yes. Call (661) 293-0213 any time and a person will answer and talk through next steps with you.
