If your home is served by overhead power lines
If your home is served by overhead power lines, look at the metal pipe above your electric meter where the power line is or would connect to your house. This is called the weatherhead and it is part of your home wiring system.
If a tree or tree limb has fallen onto your roof, you may need to call a licensed electrician if you see any damage to the:
- weatherhead
- pipe mast that carries the wire down to the meter or to
- meter can that surrounds the meter.
