What to know about wiring in Mesquite
Spring storms in east Dallas County can bring hail and high winds. A storm can bend the pipe on your roof where the power line comes in. That part, called the mast or weatherhead, is the homeowner's to fix. Oncor fixes the line to the pole.
Many Mesquite homes were built from the 1960s to the 80s. Panels from that time are often near the end of their life. Rust, burnt marks or breakers that will not reset are all signs it is time.
Our clay soil swells when it is wet and shrinks when it is dry. Over the years that can stress buried lines to sheds, pools and detached garages. If power out back is spotty, have the line tested.
We hear from homeowners in Downtown Mesquite, the Town East area, Creek Crossing, homes near Interstate 635 and south Mesquite near Interstate 20.
Tips for Mesquite homeowners
- After a storm, stay away from any line that is down. Call Oncor and 911 if it is near people.
- Take photos of storm damage before any repair. Your insurer may ask for them.
- If the mast on your roof is bent, an electrician must fix it before Oncor can reconnect you.
- Mesquite needs a permit for service and panel work. Ask your electrician to confirm.

Mesquite electrical questions
A storm pulled the power line off my house. Who fixes it?
It is split. Oncor fixes the line from the pole. You need an electrician to fix the mast, weatherhead and meter base on your home. Then Oncor reconnects you.
Will insurance pay for storm damage to my wiring?
Many home policies cover storm damage, but it depends on your plan. Take photos and call your insurer early.
Why does my shed lose power?
The buried line may be damaged, or the circuit may be too small. An electrician can test the line and fix the cause.
How do I know my panel is too old?
Look for rust, scorch marks, a buzzing sound or breakers that trip a lot. If you see any of these, get it checked soon.
