Dialing for Dollars (or Watts, Rather)
There are two main reasons you might need to call FPL: reporting an outage or handling your account. Here's the breakdown:
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.
Power Outage Palooza: If your flickering lights have morphed into full-on darkness, dial 1-800-4-OUTAGE (1-800-468-8243). This number is like a magic hotline straight to FPL's outage response center. Be warned, though, during storms or widespread outages, you might experience higher call volumes. Patience is a virtue, my friend.
Account Inquiries: Need to discuss your bill, make a payment, or inquire about your service? 1-800-226-3545 is your friend. This number connects you to FPL's general customer service department.
But Wait, There's More!
FPL also offers a mobile app that allows you to report outages, track restoration progress, and manage your account. It's like having a mini-FPL superhero sidekick in your pocket. Just search for "FPL" in your app store and download it for free.
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.

Bonus Tip: Speak the Lingo
Here are a few key terms to have handy when calling FPL:
- Account Number: This is your unique identifier in FPL's system. It's usually located on your bill.
- Service Address: This is the exact address where you're experiencing the outage/have your account.
- Transformer: That big, buzzing box on the power pole outside? That's your transformer. If it's making funky noises, let FPL know!
Remember: The more information you can provide FPL, the faster they can diagnose and fix the problem.
