About this service
Your electrical utility company is responsible for the power grid, the service lines running to your house, and your external meter. They manage the electricity delivery from the plant to your property. If your entire block loses power or a downed line is sparking in the street, that is a utility issue. However, if your neighbors have power and you do not, or if you have internal wiring trouble, you need a private electrician to handle repairs inside your home's electrical panel.
