What should I do if there is a power outage in my area?

In the event of a power outage in your area, it is essential to stay calm and take several practical steps to ensure your safety and comfort. First, check if the power outage is affecting just your home or if it is a wider issue in the neighborhood. You can do this by looking at the lights in neighboring houses or asking neighbors about their situation. If it appears to be a widespread outage, it may be due to maintenance, severe weather, or unforeseen circumstances. Utility Warehouse, like many utility providers, usually works diligently to restore power as quickly and safely as possible. Keeping a flashlight, battery-operated devices, and a battery-powered radio handy is advisable to stay informed about the situation, as well as to have light during the outage. It is also a good idea to conserve battery power on mobile devices when possible, and to avoid opening the refrigerator or freezer unnecessarily to keep food from spoiling. To learn more about how to report the outage or find updates regarding restoration efforts, you may refer to the Utility Warehouse website for relevant contact information and any additional guidance.
