FPL Told Me To Call An Electrician
If FPL or the power company came out and told you to call an electrician, the problem is usually on the customer-owned side of the electrical system. That can include the panel, breakers, meter enclosure, service equipment, grounding, damaged wiring, loose connections, or overheated components.
Simon Electric helps Palm Beach County homeowners and businesses diagnose these problems and determine what needs to be repaired before power can be restored safely.

Common Reasons FPL Sends You To An Electrician
- Loose or damaged service connections
- Meter equipment problems
- Damaged or overheated meter jaws
- Main breaker or panel issues
- Partial power caused by a neutral or service problem
- Burnt or discolored electrical components
- Unsafe wiring on the customer side
- Equipment that must be repaired before reconnection
Power Company Side vs. Customer Side
The power company is responsible for certain utility equipment. The property owner is responsible for other parts of the electrical system. When FPL says to call an electrician, it usually means they believe the issue is not something they can repair.
An electrician can inspect the service equipment, panel, meter area, grounding, and affected circuits to determine the next step.
Do Not Ignore These Warning Signs
Call an electrician if you have flickering lights, partial power, burning smells, hot breakers, buzzing at the panel, a meter issue, or visible damage around electrical equipment.
These symptoms can point to loose connections, overheating, or service problems that need professional testing.
