What should I do if my power goes out?

If power goes out in your area while you are a customer of Tucson Electric Power, there are several steps you can take to ensure your safety and stay informed. First, remain calm and check to see if your neighbors have also lost power. This can help you determine if the outage is localized or more widespread. Next, check your circuit breakers or fuses to rule out any issues within your home. If everything appears in order, it is advisable to report the outage to Tucson Electric Power. You can usually find information on how to do this on their official website, which provides options for reporting outages online or by phone. While waiting for the power to be restored, you should minimize the use of candles and open flames for safety. Instead, rely on flashlights and battery-powered lights. It is also wise to keep your refrigerator and freezer doors closed to maintain the temperature for food safety. Lastly, stay updated on the status of the outage by checking Tucson Electric Power’s website or social media for any announcements regarding repair times.
