FAQs
After a storm causes a power outage in Poteau, my lights are flickering. What should I do?
Flickering lights after an outage can indicate a damaged circuit breaker, loose wiring, or a compromised electrical panel—common issues following Oklahoma storms. To prevent a fire hazard, it's crucial to have a professional inspection. Pitchford Electric can perform a thorough assessment, safely repair any storm-related damage to your breakers or panel, and ensure your system is stable and safe before you resume normal use.
I attempted a DIY wiring project and now my outlet isn't working. Can you help?
Absolutely. Improper DIY wiring is a frequent and dangerous issue we see in Poteau homes. For your safety, we recommend stopping use of the outlet immediately. Our licensed electricians can diagnose the problem, whether it's a faulty outlet installation, incorrect wire connections, or a tripped breaker, and perform the necessary repair to meet all safety codes. It's always best to call a professional to correct electrical work and prevent potential shocks or fires.
How can a generator installation help prepare my Poteau home for storm season?
With Poteau's frequent storm-related power outages, a professionally installed standby or portable generator hookup is a smart investment. Pitchford Electric handles the entire installation, including connecting it to your home's electrical panel via a proper transfer switch. This ensures safe operation, prevents back-feeding into power lines (which is dangerous for utility workers), and provides automatic or manual backup power to keep your essentials running until grid power is restored.
