Pownal sits in the southwest corner of Vermont, bordered by New York and Massachusetts, with the Hoosic River running through North Pownal. Its villages, Pownal, Pownal Center and North Pownal, are a mix of older village homes, hill farms and houses scattered along the back roads toward Williamstown and Petersburg.
Homes here range from 19th-century farmhouses to manufactured homes and newer construction. That range is why troubleshooting skill matters: the problem in one house may be a corroded old splice, and in the next it may be a loose neutral at the meter.
River valley storms
The Hoosic valley sees its share of flooding and wind. After water gets into a basement or a storm takes a line down, the electrical system needs checking before it is trusted again.
Manufactured homes
Manufactured homes have their own wiring standards and service arrangements. We work on them as carefully as any other house, from the service pedestal to the panel and the circuits inside.
Hill roads and outages
Like the rest of the hill country, Pownal can be without power for a while after a big storm. A properly connected generator keeps the well and the heat going.

Half my house lost power and the lights are acting strange. What do I do?
Treat it as serious. Partial power with dim or unusually bright lights can mean a failing service connection or a lost neutral, which can damage appliances and overheat wiring.
Turn off the main breaker if you can do it safely, call Green Mountain Power to check their side, and call us to check yours.
