Duane’s Electric Power Outage Update: day 4? I think? Kind of lost count.😅
If your generator has been running nonstop, your power is still out, or you’ve called us and wondered if we fell off the face of the earth we promise, we’re still here!
Our phones have been nonstop, our guys have been running calls from early morning until very late at night, and we’re working through service calls as quickly as humanly possible.
A few friendly reminders from the trenches:
• If we don’t answer, please leave a voicemail. We ARE returning calls as quickly as we can.
You can also TEXT us at 2197865981
• If your generator is running continuously, CHECK YOUR OIL. See the videos we posted yesterday.
• If you’re looking for a new generator quote, the BEST place to request one right now is through our website: www.duaneselectricinc.com. This helps us keep everything organized while our phones are overloaded.
• And please, be kind to the person answering the phone or stopping by to help. We promise we didn’t cause the storm, take down the power lines, or personally decide your generator should quit at the worst possible time. We’re doing everything we can to help as many people as possible.
• Also, if see one of our guys out in the wild… maybe hand him a coffee or a cookie. 😂☕️
We know being without power is frustrating, especially after days of this mess. Thank you for being patient with our small crew while we work our way through what feels like the never-ending Northwest Indiana power outage apocalypse of 2026.
We’re tired. The generators are sleepy. Pretty sure the phones are tired. But we’re still going. ⚡️
