Frequently asked questions
Should I reset a breaker more than once?
No. A breaker that trips again may be responding to a fault or overload that needs diagnosis.
Can a power outage be inside my property?
Yes. A failed breaker, connection, service component or damaged circuit can cause an outage even when neighbouring properties have power.
