Half the house works and half doesn't. Lights dim when the dryer runs. Power came back after a storm, but some rooms didn't. These are classic signs of a problem an electrician should look at.

Check with your electric provider, such as SWEPCO or Ozarks Electric Cooperative for outages first. If the problem is only at your home, call (888) 614-2692.

Signs to Watch For

Half-power symptoms

Some circuits dead and others dim or odd can point to a problem with one leg of your service.

Check the panel

Look for a tripped main or branch breaker. Reset once; if it trips again, leave it off.

After a storm

Damage to the mast, service drop or meter base can cut power. Stay clear of anything on the ground.

GFCI chains

A single tripped GFCI can kill outlets in several rooms. Check bathrooms, kitchen, garage and outdoors.

Dimming and surging

Lights that brighten and dim as appliances cycle can mean a loose neutral, which needs prompt attention.

Check your neighbors

If they're out too, report it to your electric provider, such as SWEPCO or Ozarks Electric Cooperative. If not, the issue may be inside your home.

Pricing

Electrician Fayetteville does not set prices. Costs depend on what the electrician finds, access, parts and labor. Ask the independent provider about any trip or diagnostic fee and the proposed cost before work begins.

Questions

Who fixes the meter or the line to my house?

The line from the pole to your house and the meter are generally the utility's equipment. The mast, meter base and everything inside are usually the homeowner's responsibility. An electrician can confirm.

Is half power dangerous?

It can be. Partial power with dimming or surging lights can mean a loose or failing connection. Turn off sensitive electronics and call.
