Frequent power outages in your home, while your neighbors have electricity, usually indicate dangerous electrical problems, such as overloaded circuits, faulty wiring, or a failing electrical panel.

Council Bluffs has experienced significant flooding, especially near the Missouri River. If your home is in a flood-prone area, we recommend elevating electrical panels above potential flood levels, installing GFCI outlets throughout lower levels, and adding whole-home surge protection to prevent damage when power is restored after flooding. These upgrades can save you thousands in flood-related electrical damage.

Iowa's severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and ice storms can devastate electrical systems through power surges, fallen lines, and physical damage. We recommend using whole-home surge protectors to guard against lightning damage, installing backup generators for extended outages during storms, and conducting regular post-storm electrical inspections to identify and repair weather-related damage before it becomes hazardous.
