Power outages are a common reality in the Pacific Northwest. Severe storms, fallen trees, vehicle accidents, and power surges can all disrupt your home’s electrical system.

Understanding the Difference Between Utility Outage and Electrical Problems
When the power goes out, it isn’t always easy to know who to call. Is your utility company working on an outage, or is the problem somewhere inside your home’s electrical system? A few simple checks can help you narrow it down.
Step 1: Look Around
Start by checking whether the outage extends beyond your home. Do your neighbors still have power? Are the streetlights on? If the homes around you still have electricity, there’s a good chance the problem is with your home’s electrical system.
It’s also worth checking your utility company’s outage map or any text or email alerts they’ve sent. If they’ve reported an outage in your area, they’re likely already working to restore service.
Step 2: Check Your Electrical System
If your home seems to be the only one without power, look at your electrical panel and watch for a few common warning signs, including:
- A breaker that won’t reset
- Power out in only part of the house
- Lights that were flickering before the outage
- Burning smells or buzzing sounds
- Visible damage to your electrical panel
- The outage happened after using a large appliance
If you notice any of these issues, the problem is likely inside your home’s electrical system.

FAQs on Power Restoration
Why Is My Power Out in Hillsboro, Oregon?
Power outages in Hillsboro are usually caused by severe weather, fallen trees, vehicle accidents, equipment failures, or scheduled utility maintenance. If your power is out, check your utility’s outage map for updates and estimated restoration times, and report the outage if it hasn’t already been reported.
Why Does My Neighbor Have Power but I Don't?
Your home and your neighbor’s may be connected to different power lines or circuits, so damage affecting one line doesn’t always impact the other. If your home is still without power after nearby homes have electricity, report the outage to your utility to make sure they’re aware of it.
Can I Use a Generator During a Hillsboro Power Outage?
Yes, but always operate your generator outdoors and at least 20 feet away from your home, doors, and windows to help prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Never plug a generator directly into your home’s electrical system unless it’s connected with a properly installed transfer switch. If you have any questions or need help, feel free to contact us!
