- My power is out but my neighbors have power — is it Pepco?
- Probably not. If the rest of your street has power, the problem is usually on your own service line, meter, or main panel rather than a Pepco utility-wide outage. A licensed electrician can diagnose and fix in-home electrical faults; an electrician cannot restore a utility-side outage. Use the checklist on this site to tell the two apart safely.
