Power Outage in Whitby? Find Out If It’s Elexicon or Your Home

A power outage in Whitby can come from the Elexicon network or from a problem inside your property. Before calling for electrical service, make three quick checks.

If you are dealing with a Whitby power outage and nearby homes are also dark, check the Elexicon outage map first. If only your property is affected, the problem may be at your panel, main breaker, service equipment or a damaged circuit.

01

Check the Street and Nearby Homes

Do your neighbours or the streetlights also have no power? If they do, it is likely an Elexicon outage rather than a problem inside your home.

02

Check Your Main Breaker

Look for a tripped main breaker or branch breaker. If the panel is dry and there is no burning smell, smoke or visible damage, one reset may restore power.

03

If It Trips Again, Leave It Off

If the breaker trips again after one reset, do not keep resetting it. Leave it off and call so the cause can be checked safely.

Tree on the wires or damage to the service mast?

Stay back and report the damaged lines to Elexicon. If the mast, meter base or equipment attached to the building is damaged, call us after the area is safe so the electrical repair can be assessed.

While You Wait

What to Do Until Your Emergency Electrician Arrives

If you searched for an emergency electrician near me because something is sparking, overheating or has lost power, focus on keeping people away from the affected area until the problem can be checked.

✓

Do

  • Move people away from sparks, damaged wiring and standing water.
  • Turn off the main breaker only if the panel and surrounding area are completely dry and safe to approach.
  • Unplug affected equipment if it can be done safely.
  • Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed during a power loss.
×

Don’t

  • Do not reset a breaker repeatedly if it trips again.
  • Do not touch a wet panel, outlet, switch or appliance.
  • Do not remove the electrical panel cover.
  • Do not approach downed utility wires or damaged overhead service lines.

Smoke, fire or a downed live wire is a 911 emergency. Stay clear of the area and call emergency services first.

Storm & Service Damage

Storm Damage to Your Service Mast or Meter Base

Wind, falling branches and damaged overhead lines can pull on the service mast, meter base or wiring attached to the house. If anything is hanging, bent, cracked or pulled away from the building, stay back and report damaged utility lines first.

An emergency electrician Whitby homeowners can call can inspect the customer-side service equipment, repair damaged components and coordinate the required ESA process before utility power is restored.

Service Mast Damage

Bent conduit, loose attachment points or equipment pulled away from the wall.

Meter Base Damage

Physical damage around the meter enclosure or service conductors.

ESA Coordination

Applicable inspection and documentation are coordinated before reconnection.

Insurance Documentation

Keep photos of the damage and copies of invoices and repair documentation for your insurer.

Frequent Outages

Lost Power Too Many Times? Backup Generators for Whitby Homes

For homes that depend on a sump pump, well pump, furnace, refrigeration or other essential loads, backup power can reduce the disruption caused by repeated outages.

We can plan standby generators or a transfer switch for a compatible portable generator, including homes in rural areas north of Whitby such as Ashburn and Myrtle.

What Should Stay Powered?

Sump Pump
Furnace
Well Pump
Refrigerator

If the existing electrical service does not have enough capacity for the planned equipment, we can review whether a panel or service upgrade is needed.

What Whitby Customers Say About Our Emergency Electrical Service

★★★★★

Half of our house suddenly lost power late in the evening and resetting the breaker did nothing. They checked the panel, found the problem and had the affected circuits working again that night.

Jason Clarke

★★★★★

We noticed a burning smell near the electrical panel after dinner. The electrician told us what to leave off until he arrived, then found an overheated connection and repaired it before it became worse.

Laura Bennett

September 23, 2026

★★★★★

A storm pulled our service mast away from the house and we had no power. They explained what Elexicon needed to handle and what had to be repaired on our side, then helped coordinate the electrical work for reconnection.

Michael Grant

August 14, 2026

★★★★★

Our sump pump circuit went out during heavy rain. The breaker kept tripping, so we stopped resetting it and called. They treated it as urgent because of the water risk and restored safe power to the pump.

Nicole Fraser

July 17, 2026

★★★★★

One of the outlets in our kitchen started sparking just before midnight. We shut the circuit off and called. The electrician found damaged wiring behind the receptacle and replaced the affected parts.

Amanda Wilson

June 28, 2026

★★★★★

Our restaurant lost power to two refrigeration circuits after closing. They came out after hours, traced the fault and got the critical equipment back online so we did not lose the food overnight.

Emergency Electrician FAQ

How fast can an emergency electrician get to me in Whitby? +

When you call, we confirm the arrival window before an electrician is dispatched. How fast we get there depends on the time of day, weather and where you are in Whitby, but urgent safety calls are prioritized by our emergency electrician Whitby service.

Is there a power outage in Whitby right now? +

Check the Elexicon outage map first. If your street is dark, the power outage Whitby residents are experiencing may be a utility outage and Elexicon will handle restoration. If your neighbours have power and you do not, the problem may be at your panel or service.

A tree damaged the wires to my house. Who fixes it, Elexicon or an electrician? +

Both may be involved. Elexicon handles utility-owned lines, while damage to the service mast, meter base or customer-side wiring attached to the home may require electrical repair. After the required repair and ESA process, Elexicon can reconnect the service. This is different from a general Whitby power outage affecting the neighbourhood.

Why is only part of my house without power? +

Partial power loss can be caused by a tripped breaker, failed circuit, loose connection or a problem with part of the incoming service. If a breaker won’t reset or trips again after one attempt, leave it off and call.

Do you charge more for a 24 hour electrician? +

The applicable after-hours call-out fee is explained on the phone before anyone is dispatched, so you know the charge before the visit begins.

Is there a 24/7 emergency electrician near me in Brooklin? +

Yes. Our emergency electrician near me coverage includes Ashburn, Myrtle and communities throughout Whitby, including nights, weekends and holidays.

My sump pump lost power. What should I do? +

Check whether the sump pump power circuit breaker or GFCI outlet has tripped. If it trips again, or the panel area is wet, do not touch the equipment. Call an emergency electrician so the circuit can be checked and safe power restored as a priority.

Can you help my business after hours? +

Yes. Our after-hours electrician service responds to urgent calls from plazas, restaurants and industrial units along Taunton Road, Dundas Street and the Highway 401 corridor when refrigeration, tills or other critical equipment lose power.

Will my insurance cover storm damage to the service mast? +

Coverage depends on your policy and insurer. After storm damage electrician work is completed, keep photos of the damage along with the invoice and any applicable ESA documentation your insurer requests.
