Why do you need an electrician when you have storm damage?
Many think that the energy company will come to restore your power if you have storm damage to your electric mast or exterior electrical equipment on your home. However, the power company will actually cut your power if your mast or wiring is damaged and you will be left without power. A licensed electrician needs to repair or replace the mast and electric box on your home in order for the energy company to turn the power back on. But no worries, Advantage Electric is skilled at these kinds of situations and can get the job done quickly and correctly. After that our team will work with your insurance directly to get your claim processed!
