We take pride in our record of reliable electric service. We never realize how much we depend on this silent servant until it is interrupted by a bad storm or equipment failure.

If your power should go out, find out if neighboring homes still have electric service. If they still have power, check your fuse box or circuit breaker panel. If a fuse is blown, or a circuit breaker is open, turn off the lights and appliances on the circuit. This will help prevent damage to your appliances and your electrical system as well. Then replace the fuse with the correct amperage for the circuit or turn on the breaker. If a fuse continues to blow or the breaker continues to open, call an electrician to find and repair the problem.

When the electric outage is not confined to your home, disconnect or turn off as many electrical appliances and lights as possible. This will help protect your equipment and reduce the initial demand for electricity when the power is reconnected. Leave one light switch to the “on” position so you can tell when power is restored. Then you can reconnect appliances one at a time.

Call Montana-Dakota Utilities to report any outage not confined to your home unless you know a neighbor has already reported it. Request service online or call 1-800-MDU-FAST (1-800-638-3278)

Montana-Dakota’s primary goal is to furnish reliable electric service at fair rates. But, our electric system is widespread and exposed to storms and other factors we cannot control. Although we employ the latest developments in equipment and operating methods to maintain adequate service, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted power. If you have computers and other sensitive equipment that require high grade, uninterrupted power, you should check with your computer equipment supplier for information on devices that will ensure the power quality you need.
