Before you call

Three safe things to check before you call

  1. Next door. If the neighbors are dark too, it is a utility outage. Report it to MidAmerican Energy in Iowa or OPPD in Nebraska rather than calling an electrician.
  2. The breaker handles, not the wiring. Look for one handle out of line with the rest. Push it fully off, then on, one time. If it trips again, leave it off and keep the panel cover closed.
  3. Every GFCI outlet. A dead bathroom, basement, garage or outdoor outlet is often wired through a GFCI in another room. Press its reset button firmly.

Questions

How this works

Am I calling an electrical company?

No. Council Bluffs Electricians is a free referral service. Your call is connected to an independent, local electrician who serves your area. That business does the work, sets the price and is responsible for its own licensing and insurance.

Is there a charge for the call?

The call and the referral are free. You pay only the electrician, and only for work you agree to, so ask about trip charges or diagnostic fees before the visit.

Which towns are covered?

Council Bluffs, Iowa, plus La Vista, Papillion and Elkhorn on the Nebraska side of the Missouri River. Coverage depends on which providers are available.

Does it matter whether I live in Iowa or Nebraska?

Yes. Each state licenses its own electricians, so ask for a license number that covers the state your home is in. Outages are also reported to different utilities: MidAmerican Energy in Council Bluffs, OPPD on the Nebraska side.

Can I reset a breaker myself?

Once, yes: push the handle fully off, then back on. If it trips again, leave it off and have an electrician find the cause. Do not remove the panel cover or replace breakers or fuses with larger ones.
