From the sound of it most of your electrical equipment has been hit by a huge voltage spike basically trashing all of it. You may need to replace the breaker, GFCI outlets, etc as well.

I hope the power company is taking responsibility for that...

it's Hydro elecrtic provided by the province.

This happened to my neighbor and he got reimburssed through house insurance. He had to pay the deductible.

Check your homeowners' policy and check your tv, phones, and other electrical equipment, not to mention kitchen microwaves, oven timers, and automatic coffee makers.

hey, thanks for replying.

everything in the basement seems ok, but i smell a burning..? were getting an electriction come check everything out.

our brand new digital firdge works but all the electric parts do not, the key board thing dosent work so we canot see if its at the right temp, and the alarm on it dosent work..soo

the company is HYDRO ONE, they always over charge us and they are very unreliable.

off topic.. but does any one here have one of those windmill thigs to run there power, were looking into that.. they just put up 66? of these HUGE ones in Erie it was $186 mill.

well they need to replace my hammerhead 6800gph pump, it was 4 months old.. and one of my sedra 900's and a sieo 1500.. i havent checked my halides yet,
every thing else seems to be Ok.. the hydro company still has not said anything to us yet..

thanks for the replys!
