Attached to your home or business is the equipment needed for us to deliver power to you. Some of the equipment is ours, and some is yours. If you have storm damage, you must have a quali�ed electrician repair the damaged equipment belonging to you before we can restore your power.You may also have to have repairs inspected by a local authority before we can restore your power.
