What it usually is
If the neighbors are fine, it is usually a tripped main or double-pole breaker, a failed breaker, or a loose connection feeding one side of the panel. Because the cause is at the panel, we diagnose it rather than guess.
What to do first
Check whether neighbors are also dark; if so, it is a utility outage. If only your home is affected, do not remove any panel cover. If you can see a tripped breaker without removing anything, switch it fully off and then on once. Unplug sensitive electronics.
The flat rate that covers it
- Electrical troubleshooting: $79
- Breaker replacement: $179
South Hill, around Puyallup, is mostly newer subdivisions, townhomes and apartments built in recent decades along with some older homes. Newer South Hill homes usually have modern supply lines and fixtures, so calls tend to be fixtures, water heaters and breaker or outlet work rather than failed pipe.
