New Smyrna Beach Power Outage Guide
Lost power in New Smyrna Beach? Here’s what to do right now, how to tell a utility outage from a problem in your home, and how to be ready for the next storm.
Is It the Utility, or Your Home?
This is the first thing to figure out:
- Whole street dark / neighbors out too: it’s a utility outage. Report it and track restoration with FPL or Duke Energy (whichever serves your address). Southeast Volusia is largely FPL territory, with Duke serving parts of west Volusia.
- Only your home is out, or half your house lost power while neighbors are fine: the problem is on your side — your main breaker, panel, or service entrance. That’s a job for a licensed electrician, and losing one “leg” of power can mean a connection that’s overheating. Call (386) 749-1593.
What to Do During an Outage
- Turn off and unplug sensitive electronics and large appliances to protect them from the surge when power returns.
- Leave one light switched on so you know when power is back.
- Keep the fridge and freezer closed — food stays safe for hours.
- Never run a portable generator indoors or in a garage — carbon monoxide is deadly. Run it outside, away from windows.
- Stay clear of any downed power lines and report them to the utility and 911.
When to Call an Electrician (Not the Utility)
Call a licensed local electrician — not just the utility — if:
- Only your home or part of it has no power while the street is fine
- Your main breaker trips and won’t reset, or trips again instantly
- You see a damaged service mast, meter, or weatherhead after a storm (the utility restores the line to the house; the homeowner’s electrician repairs the mast/meter so power can be reconnected)
- There’s any burning smell, scorching, or sparking at the panel or outlets
- Your panel got wet or flooded — do not energize it until an electrician inspects it
We connect you with a 24/7 emergency electrician for exactly these situations.
Be Ready for the Next Storm
New Smyrna Beach loses power to Atlantic storms almost every season. Three upgrades make the next outage a non-event:
- Standby generator: automatic whole-home power within seconds of an outage.
- Whole-home surge protection: protects your electronics from the spikes that come with outages, switch-overs, and lightning.
- A modern, corrosion-free panel: the foundation for a generator and reliable power in a salt-air environment.
More Ways a Local Electrician Can Help
Why Electrical Problems Here Don’t Stay Small
In New Smyrna Beach, salt-air corrosion, Atlantic storms, lightning, and older homes with aluminum wiring or outdated panels (Federal Pacific, Zinsco) mean small electrical issues escalate quickly. A warm outlet, a tripping breaker, a corroded meter can — none of these fix themselves.

(386) 749-1593 — Call NowFrequently Asked Questions
Report it to your utility — FPL serves most of Southeast Volusia, and Duke Energy serves parts of west Volusia. Use their outage map or phone line. If only your home is affected, it’s likely a problem on your side; call an electrician at (386) 749-1593.
Losing half your circuits usually means one “leg” of your 240V service is down — often a failing main breaker, a loose panel connection, or a utility service issue. The loose-connection version can overheat, so it’s worth a prompt electrician visit.
The utility restores the line to your home, but the service mast, meter base, and weatherhead belong to the homeowner and must be repaired by a licensed electrician before power can be reconnected. We connect you with one 24/7. Call (386) 749-1593.
A portable generator must run outdoors only, far from windows and doors — never in a garage or enclosed space, because of carbon-monoxide poisoning. A permanently installed standby generator with a transfer switch is the safest, hands-off option.
