Toronto Power Outage Now — Is It the Grid or Your Home?
Not every power outage in Toronto needs an electrician. Look out the window or check the hallway lights in your building first. It takes 30 seconds and tells you who to call.
Whole street is out? It’s a Toronto Hydro outage
That’s a grid outage. Toronto Hydro restores it for free, so you don’t need an electrician. Check the Toronto Hydro outage map or call 416-542-8000. Outside the city: Hydro One, 1-800-434-1235.
Lost power in your house only? The problem is inside
Your neighbours have power and you don’t? The fault is on your side: the main breaker, the meter base or the panel. Toronto Hydro won’t fix it. Try the 2-minute check, then call us.
Half the house has no power? Don’t wait until morning
A partial power outage usually means one incoming line is lost or the neutral has come loose. If lights dim and brighten or appliances act strangely, unplug your electronics and call an emergency electrician now.
Power out in one room? Start with a quick reset
Usually a tripped GFCI or breaker, sometimes a loose outlet connection. Reset each one once using the check below. Breaker not resetting or still no power? Didn’t help? Call us!
2-MINUTE SELF-CHECK
No Power in House? Check These Three Things First
Lost power in your house but the street is lit? Many Toronto homes get power back after one of these quick checks. If a step doesn’t help, stop there and call a power outage electrician.
- 01
Main Breaker
Find the large 100A or 200A breaker at the top of your panel. Push it fully OFF, then firmly ON, just once. Main breaker not resetting? Don’t force it.
- 02
GFCI Outlets
No power to outlets in the kitchen, bathroom, basement or garage? Find the outlet with TEST and RESET buttons and press RESET firmly.
- 03
Circuit Breakers
Power out in one room? Look for a breaker sitting out of line with the rest. Switch it OFF, then ON. If it trips again, unplug everything on that circuit.
- 04
Stop & Call
Burning smell, a hot panel cover, buzzing or water near the panel? Don’t touch anything. Step away and call our 24/7 emergency electrician. Smoke or fire: 911 first.
Still no power after the 2-minute check?
Book a licensed power outage electrician in Toronto. 24/7 emergency call-outs, written estimate before any work.

Lights that dim and brighten, or a partial power outage, often point to an open neutral. We find it and fix it before it damages your appliances.

Main breaker not resetting or tripping under normal load? We test it to confirm whether the breaker or the circuit is at fault, then replace failed breakers with exact ESA-approved matches.

Power Outage in Toronto — Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a power outage in Toronto right now?
Check the Toronto Hydro outage map, which updates about every 10 minutes, or call 416-542-8000. If your street is on the map, Toronto Hydro will restore power for free. If your address isn’t there and your neighbours have power, the problem is inside your home.
My electric is out but the neighbours have power. Can an electrician come tonight?
Yes. We work 24/7 across Toronto, including weekends and holidays. Call and describe what you see, and we’ll tell you whether it’s a grid issue or send an ESA-licensed electrician.
Why does half my house have no power?
Most Toronto homes are fed by two incoming lines. When one is lost at the main breaker, a loose lug or the service connection, half your circuits go dead. If lights dim and brighten instead, suspect a loose neutral. Either way, call right away.
Why is my breaker not resetting?
Either there’s a short or ground fault on the circuit, or the breaker has failed internally. Don’t keep forcing it. We test the circuit first and the breaker second, then fix whichever is at fault.
How much does power outage repair cost in Toronto?
It depends on what the diagnostic finds. Tightening a connection, replacing a breaker and repairing a service mast are very different jobs. You get a written price before any work starts.
Is a partial power outage safe to leave until morning?
No. A partial power outage or flickering lights can mean a loose neutral, which can damage electronics and overheat wiring. Unplug sensitive equipment and call an emergency electrician now.
