Oshawa Power Outage
Wondering what to do in a power outage? Answer three short questions to identify the next step. For an Oshawa Power outage today, check the utility's official outage information before assuming the fault is inside your home.
Check from a safe location without approaching electrical equipment.
Are all rooms without electricity while nearby homes appear to have power?

Common Questions
Answers about emergency electrical visits, repair costs, availability and what to do when something goes wrong.
The emergency electrician cost depends on the problem, the condition of the electrical equipment and the repairs required. An electrician assesses the issue on site, explains what needs to be repaired and provides the price before any repair work begins.
Call-out arrangements can be discussed when booking the visit. You can review and approve the proposed work after diagnosis rather than agreeing to an unknown repair cost in advance.
Arrival time depends on your location in Oshawa, current call volume, electrician availability and travel conditions. When you call, provide your address and describe the electrical problem so our team can discuss the available response arrangements.
We don't promise a fixed arrival time before reviewing the circumstances of your request.
Yes. Our emergency electrical service is available on weekends and holidays, including evenings and overnight hours. If you need a weekend electrician for an urgent problem, call us and explain what is happening.
The team can discuss availability and any applicable call-out arrangements before the visit.
If neighbouring homes have electricity again but yours does not, the problem may involve your property's electrical service, main breaker, meter connection or damaged service equipment. The exact cause requires investigation.
If Oshawa Power has confirmed restoration for your address and your home is still dark, the fault is likely on your side of the meter, so call us. Until then, don't touch a damaged meter, mast or service cable.
Yes, when the condition of the installation allows it. Some emergency calls can involve disconnecting or isolating affected equipment to reduce the immediate hazard, followed by a permanent repair at a later visit.
The electrician determines whether a temporary make-safe approach is appropriate after inspecting the fault. Equipment that cannot be used safely must remain disconnected until the necessary work is completed.
An outlet or switch plate that feels unusually warm or hot may indicate an overloaded device, damaged connection or other electrical problem. Stop using it and arrange prompt professional assessment, particularly if you notice discoloration, buzzing or a burning smell.
Do not remove the cover or attempt to inspect the wiring yourself. If there is smoke or fire, move to safety and call 911.
Do not touch wet outlets, switches, wiring or electrical equipment. Stay out of flooded areas where electricity may be present, and do not enter the water to reach the electrical panel or disconnect power.
If the situation is dangerous, contact emergency services. Electrical components exposed to water need professional evaluation before they are energized or returned to use, even after the area appears dry.
For non-immediate electrical problems, contact your landlord or property manager so they can arrange an appropriate repair. Provide details about the affected rooms, circuits and any warning signs.
If there is immediate danger, such as fire, smoke or a serious electric shock, call 911 first. For other urgent electrical hazards, notify your landlord promptly and explain the situation when requesting professional assistance.
