Should I Call Right Now?
Answer a question or two and we'll tell you if it's an emergency, something to schedule, or a free-estimate project.
Emergency
Get out and call 911 first.
- Get everyone out of the house now.
- Call 911 from outside.
- Don't touch the panel, outlets or cords, and never use water on an electrical fire.
- Once the fire department says it's safe, call us and we'll make it right.
This is general safety guidance, not a diagnosis. Every home is different. If something feels unsafe, trust your gut: get out and call 911.
Stay back
Stay at least 30 feet away. Call 911 and RG&E.
- Keep everyone, including pets, at least 30 feet from the wire and anything it's touching, like fences, puddles or cars.
- Call 911, then report it to RG&E at 1-800-743-1701.
- Never try to move a line, even with something you think is safe to touch it with.
- If the wires or meter on your house were damaged, call us once RG&E has made it safe. [REVIEW WITH OWNER: what GRM repairs vs. the utility]

Likely a utility outage
Report it to RG&E.
- Report the outage to RG&E at 1-800-743-1701 or in their app.
- Keep the fridge and freezer closed as much as possible.
- Using a generator? Run it outside, far from windows and doors, and never plug it into a wall outlet.
- If the neighbors get power back and you don't, call us.

Call now
Make sure everyone is OK, then call us.

- Don't touch someone who is still in contact with the source. Turn off the power first if you can do it safely.
- Even a small shock means something is wrong. Stop using that outlet, fixture or appliance.
- Call us and we'll find and fix the cause. [REVIEW WITH OWNER; consider a medical reviewer for the first two lines]

Check this first
It may just be a tripped breaker.
- Open your panel and look for a breaker sitting in the middle or OFF position. If the whole house is out, check the main breaker too.
- Push it firmly to OFF, then back to ON.
- Look for GFCI outlets with a popped reset button in kitchens, bathrooms, the garage, basement and outside.
- If it trips again right away, or nothing is tripped, stop and call us.
Don't open the panel if it's hot, buzzing, wet or smells like burning. Call us instead.

Call now
Leave it off and call us.
- A breaker that trips right away is protecting you from a fault. Don't keep resetting it.
- Unplug what you can on that circuit.
- Call us and we'll track down the problem.

Schedule this week
Not an emergency, but worth fixing.
- A breaker that trips when a few things run at once usually means that circuit is overloaded.
- For now, move a high-draw appliance (space heater, microwave, hair dryer) to a different circuit.
- We can add a dedicated circuit or check whether your panel needs an upgrade.

Call today
Have it checked today.
- Flickering or dimming all over the house, or when big appliances kick on, can mean a loose connection at your panel or service.
- Loose connections can overheat, so don't let this one ride.
- Call us today. If you ever see smoke or smell burning, get out and call 911.

Can probably wait
Probably the bulb or fixture.
- Try a new bulb, and make sure it's rated for the dimmer if that light has one.
- If it still flickers, or the switch feels warm, have us take a look.

Schedule this week
Let's find out why it stopped.
- Look for a tripped GFCI outlet nearby. One GFCI can protect several outlets, sometimes in another room.
- Check your panel for a tripped breaker.
- Still dead? Request a visit. If the outlet looks scorched or smells burnt, call us now instead.
