Quick Repairs For A Homeowner To Check
To help homeowners save time and money, check the following common electrical fixes before calling for help.
- Reset a Tripped Breaker – If one room loses power, turn the breaker fully off and back on; if it trips again, call an electrician.
- Confirm a Utility Outage – Check outside lights, nearby homes, or your utility’s outage map to see if the issue is coming from the power company.
- Check GFCI Outlets – Press the reset button on GFCI outlets in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, or outdoors, as one tripped outlet can shut off others.
- Unplug Recently Used Appliances – Unplug high-power appliances, reset the breaker, then plug them back in one at a time to avoid overloads.
- Replace the Light Bulb – A loose or burned-out bulb is the most common reason a single light stops working, so try a new bulb first.

EXCELLENT Based on 159 reviews Posted on Gary HuberTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. PowerUp Electric is an outstanding company to work with. I have worked with contractors that are not necessarily concerned about the project or projects we are making an effort to fix or improve our home. PowerUp and Lane (owner) cares about what we are attempting to fix in addition to making sure his company meets our needs. I worked closely with PowerUp a year ago. His service and staff have only gotten better. Eric and Andy have been great to work with. Keep up the great work PowerUp! Every time I hear of somebody needing electrical work, I highly recommend you.Posted on Debbie McMillanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Andy was very polite and on time. Cleaned up any messes. Did a good job.Posted on Buck BurchfieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t speak highly enough of the professionalism that lane, and everyone showed during the quote and the actual work. They put in an outlet for a hot tub with a cut off switch and grounded the ground around the tub. Very clean the job looks better than expected. I am very pleased. they tell you upfront what it’s gonna cost so there are no hidden charges. They are quick and efficient and highly skilled.Posted on nikki reynoldsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Wonderful company came out very quickly to help fix an electrical problem. Quick estimate and quick service. Tech was knowledgeable and very friendly. Even going so far as to put booties on to protect my carpeting, without even being asked. Wonderful company would recommend and will be using again.Posted on Chad HeskettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I rarely leave reviews, but PowerUp Electric absolutely deserves one. I had an emergency situation because of the weather and subzero temperatures, yet they still made the trip and showed up quicker than I expected. Their timing and precision in fixing exactly what needed to be done was impressive and professional. It’s also hard to find companies that truly care about helping people, but they went above and beyond for us and we are extremely greatful. And I must say that their pricing was also very fair, which made the experience even better 👍 If you need electrical work done by someone dependable and who care about your situation, I would strongly recommend PowerUp Electric. 🙌Posted on Kristi Sjullie-PickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
