Whole house dark and it is just you? Three checks, then call. We answer 24/7.
In this order. None of it needs tools.
If the neighbors are dark too, it is the utility. Check the PSE or Tacoma Power outage map and report it; an electrician cannot fix a utility outage.
Open the panel door, not the cover. If the main is in the middle position, push it fully OFF, then ON, once. If it will not hold, or it is warm, buzzing or smells, leave it off and call.
If a tree pulled the wires off the house or the meter base is hanging, that equipment is yours, not the utility's. The utility will not reconnect until a licensed electrician repairs it with a permit. Stay well back from any wire on the ground.
Never run a generator into a dryer outlet or any outlet. It sends power out to the lines and can kill the lineman restoring your neighborhood. Use a proper inlet and interlock, or extension cords from a generator that is outdoors.
We would rather tell you it can wait than sell you a night call.
Licensed, bonded and insured electricians. Background-checked crew.
Say what you see. Burning, sparks, shock or no power goes to the front of the line; a technician reaches out within 1 business hour, usually much sooner.
The first job is to stop the danger: circuit off, fault isolated, nothing left live that should not be. You get the exact price before any repair, and you approve it first.
Repaired with the right parts, tested under load, the next connection checked so it does not come back next week.

Look at the neighbors and the outage map. If they have power and you do not, it is on your side of the meter and it needs an electrician.
Once. A main that will not stay on is protecting you from a fault. Each extra reset pushes full fault current through it.
The mast, weatherhead and meter base are the homeowner's. We repair them under permit, call for inspection, and the utility reconnects after that. Tonight, keep everyone away from the wires.
Yes. No power with the neighbors lit is an emergency and goes to the front of the line. We answer 24/7.
You get the exact price once we find the fault, before any work starts, and you approve it first.
Exact price before any work starts, approved by you first, any hour.
