    After a electrical storm went through area. I was left with a house with 1/2 power off on one side of house and 1/2 electrical power on, on the other side of house. Already tried breaker switchs and looked around outside for power line disruption but did not find anything. I did call Consumers to come out, so far no show.

    Are any of your 240volt appliances working? (Stove, oven, wAter heater, etc.). If half your power is out you probably lost a leg from the utility. They should correct the problem.

    Turn main breaker OFF then back ON. If that doesn't restore power you will have to wait on the power company.
