What to Do When Your Service is Interrupted!
- Check your fuses. If some of your lights work, the trouble may be in your fuses.
- Check the circuit breakers on your yard pole below the meter. In the off position, these breakers disconnect all the wiring you own.
- If all your lights are off, call your neighbor to see if his power is also off.
- If you determine the problem is in your own wiring, call an electrician.
- If you determine that your electrical service is interrupted, call the FEM Electric office at 605-426-6891 or 1-800-587-5880.
- Give your name and account number.
- Don’t wait for someone else to call because you may be the only consumer without power, and calls to the office often help us to determine where the problem is on our line.
