Question 1
I have reset the breaker but my power is still out, what do I do?
First determine the cause of trip and correct it. In order to reset a breaker in your electrical panel, you must move (push) the breaker firmly to the off position (this resets it) and then push it back to the on position. Most people fail to push the breaker firmly past the off (tripped) position and assume it is reset. If you perform the correct reset procedure and still have no power, call a licensed electrical contractor. Breakers can wear out over time if they are tripped too frequently. If you are not sure what caused it to trip. Call ARK Electric LLC
Question 2
Why are some outlets/lights working in a room and some are not?
There are many things that can cause this to happen. Possible causes of this are the outlets/lights that work are on a separate circuit than those that do not work. It is also possible an outlet is bad. Some outlets and light switches wear out and simple replacement fixes the problem. You will want to check your electrical panel's breakers to ensure there are no tripped breakers. If all the breakers are reset and on and you still cannot get power to the outlet and/or light. Call ARK Electric LLC

When Is it Time to Call an Electrician?
No one wants to call in professional help when they’re not needed. There are a lot of home and business owners who think that their electrical issue is no big deal and that they can get by if they ignore the problem, hoping it will eventually sort itself out, or they decide to take matters into their own hands.

How Do I Know What Size Electrical Service System I Need for My Property?

Confused yet? If so, give Ark Electric LLC a call and we’ll be happy to assist you in your energy load audit.
