PSEG restored power to the street, but your house is still dark?
There is a moment after a storm when the utility may say power is restored to your area, but your home is still without power. That usually means something on the homeowner side of the electrical system has failed.

We help restore power after:

When you need electrical power restoration
Call RJ & Son Electric if your home or business is still without power after the utility restores service nearby, or if storm damage affected your service entrance, meter, or panel.
House Still Has No Power
If neighbors have power and your house is still dark, the issue may be on your side of the meter, inside the service entrance, meter pan, main breaker, or panel.
Main Breaker Will Not Reset
A main breaker that will not reset or will not hold may indicate a failed breaker, service issue, internal panel fault, or unsafe electrical condition.
Storm or Tree Damage
Wind, branches, lightning, and surge damage can pull service equipment loose, damage the meter pan, or create unsafe connections that need repair before reconnection.

Answers to common questions about power restoration, service entrance repair, meter pan repair, utility reconnection, and storm-related electrical damage.
PSEG says power is restored to my street but my house is still dark. What is wrong?
Something on your side of the meter may have failed. Common causes include a damaged service entrance cable, damaged meter pan, failed main breaker, burned connection inside the panel, or service equipment damage from wind, branches, surge, or lightning.
Who is responsible for the service entrance, me or PSEG?
In general, the utility handles the service drop from the pole, while the homeowner is responsible for the service entrance cable, meter pan, meter base, and electrical equipment from there into the home. If PSEG makes the line safe but tells you the entrance is damaged, you need a licensed electrician before reconnection.
Can you repair or replace my meter pan?
Yes. Meter pan repair and replacement is common after storms and service damage. When PSEG disconnect and reconnect are required, RJ & Son Electric coordinates that process so the work can be completed safely.
How long does electrical power restoration usually take?
It depends on the problem. A failed main breaker may be a same-visit repair if the correct breaker is available. Damaged service entrances or meter pans usually require coordination with PSEG, which can add time.
Are you licensed and insured for electrical work in Suffolk County?
Yes. RJ & Son Electric is owned and operated by Richard Gruttola, a Licensed Master Electrician. The company is licensed, insured, and available for power restoration, emergency electrical repairs, panel repairs, and service entrance work across Suffolk County.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
When the work requires a permit, RJ & Son Electric handles the permitting process, performs the work to current code requirements, and coordinates the inspection.
How does pricing work?
You receive a written quote before work begins. For clearly scoped jobs, pricing can often be discussed by phone. For storm damage, meter pan damage, service equipment issues, or hidden panel failures, we inspect first and quote before starting the repair.
