Make sure you’re ready to safely receive power
Steps to restore power if your home’s service connection is damaged.
1. Know what you need to repair
Homeowners own and are responsible for electrical equipment attached to the house (service stack, attachment hardware, riser and meter box) and the pole with an attached meter box for mobile or manufactured homes.
We are responsible for the wire or service line to the house and the electric meter.
If the homeowner’s equipment is damaged, repairs will be needed before we can connect service.
2. Seek a licensed electrician
Do not hire an unlicensed electrician. It could create safety hazards and possibly delay your power from being connected.
3. Do not attempt to fix the damage yourself
It could create safety hazards and possibly delay your power from being connected.
4. Make sure repairs pass any required inspections
Check with your local government for inspection requirements.
5. Notify FPL at 1-800-4-OUTAGE when you are able to receive power.
Ensure all of the steps above are complete and you are safely able to receive power.
