You've lost power.
If you have lost power, chances are you need an electrician. However, the problem might be
something simple. You want to try a few simple remedies first. If you have lost all power, check with FP&L
because it may be an outage in your area. If you have lost power in only part of your house and you have a breaker box,
find the breaker for the affected area; if it is off, turn it back on; if it looks on, turn it completely off and then completely
back on. Sometimes a breaker looks "on" but is partially tripped. If the loss of power is limited to
a specific area in or near a bathroom, check your GFI outlets (the ones with the "reset" button on them) and be
sure the button is pressed in. If none of this applies, give us a call -- sometimes we can talk you through another
solution. If not, we'll schedule an appointment and take care of the problem.
You have a fuse box.
Yes, you need an electrician to change out your service to a breaker panel. A fuse box was
nice 40 years ago, but it can be a fire hazard now and is not safe for you and your family.
You bought a new water heater.
You need a plumber to install the plumbing, not an electrician. We can help with the electrical
connection, but first hire your plumber and then give us a call.
You hired a handyman to repair your {insert anything electrical
here} and now something is wrong.
Yes,
you need a licensed electrician. But not us -- we specialize exclusively on breaker panel replacements, fuse
box replacements, service upgrades, and portable generator connections.

You bought a generator and need to connect
it to your house.
You made a good decision!
Well done. Now you need an electrician to install a generator transfer switch. Give us a call.
FP&L came and disconnected your electricity. (Or someone
stole your meter box.)
You need an electrician.
We will coordinate with FP&L to determine the cause of the problem and what needs to be done. You almost certainly
will need a permit. You absolutely must hire a licensed electrician, as FP&L will not restore power until after
an inspection has been done by an electrical inspector on the electrical permit.
