Need electrician
 
just had a lightening strike and need an electrician. 1/2 of our breakers don't work. Any one you recommend?

Open your breaker box & if U see the breakers are in the middle > turn them Off then turn them back ON!! this might help.....

you may have lost half of your underground feeder leg--call SECO and have the FD check out your house

Opmoochler 07-09-2017 06:16 PM

nope, they aren't working. I tried the breakers first

Yes! The breakers work!
 
Mike, nice after hours tech at Lenhart Electric implored me to try the breakers again while I was on the phone. I had thought I had pushed them all the way to the right before then moving them back to the left, but I hadn't pushed hard enough to make them click. He saved me $$$ and him time to get to the other 14 customers on his list!

Lots of times certain brands of circuit breakers, when tripped move a hair from the on position--best advice if you have a potentially tripped breaker is the following:
1)unplug affected equipment and or turn lights, etc off
2) push the breaker handle fully to the off position, you may feel it cock, like a hammer on a gun
3)push the breaker handle to full on position
4) turn on affected equipment one @ time--if the breaker trips--the problem is with the equipment
