Know which parts of your service you own
LG&E and KU, whose Kentucky Utilities company serves Lexington, says the weatherhead or masthead above the meter box, the hardware that holds the service drop, and the meter box itself, including the socket and wiring inside, are the customer's to maintain. If any of these are damaged, you need a licensed electrician to repair them before the utility can restore service. Source: LG&E and KU: Working together to maintain your electric service
Protect electronics when power comes back
During an outage, LG&E and KU recommend turning off major appliances such as electric ranges, washers and dryers, and unplugging sensitive electronics like computers and charging stations. That lowers the demand when power returns and reduces the chance of surge damage. If you use a portable generator, run it in a well-ventilated area and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Check the license
Kentucky licenses electrical contractors, master electricians and electricians through the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction in Frankfort. Look up both the company and the electrician in the department's online licensee search before hiring. Source: official licensing page
