Power Outage Tips

Grant PUD has a history of providing reliable electrical service to its customers.  But even excellent electric system maintenance cannot prevent all power outages, particularly during bad weather.  We understand the important role that electricity plays in everyday life and work hard to maintain the reliability of our electric system.

While we’re working on restoration, here’s what you can do:

Turn off all the appliances you think were on before your power went out.

Unplug your electronic equipment, including computers.

Leave a light or radio on to let you know when you have service again.

Don’t wire an emergency generator into your home electrical system. Backfeed into power lines could injure or kill a lineman working to get electricity restored.

Use your generator only to run specific appliances, and locate it outside so poisonous carbon monoxide fumes don’t enter your home.

Lower the thermostat on all your electric heat sources to an absolute minimum. Once your power comes back on, wait a half hour before you return your thermostat to a normal setting. If your furnace doesn’t kick in, call your heating/ventilation/air conditioning dealer.
