Hinckley Outage History

Why Hinckley Homeowners Act

Trees are the risk in Hinckley, and a 2017 storm shows it. On November 5, 2017, a thunderstorm downburst moved east across the northern end of Medina County, downing hundreds of trees in Brunswick and Hinckley and blocking roads with trees and power lines. Over 10,000 people in the county lost power at the peak, and full restoration took a couple of days. Ohio Edison's system was hit again on March 13, 2026, when about 174,600 customers across northern and central Ohio were affected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hinckley Generator Questions, Answered

Who issues a generator permit in Hinckley?

Medina County, since Hinckley Township has no building department. The county’s residential electrical fee schedule has a line for a generator. Generator One pulls any permit the county requires with a licensed electrician, and county rules call for a state license on electrical contractors.

Do I need a Hinckley Township zoning permit too?

Likely. The township says anything with a fixed location on or resting on the ground needs a township zoning permit and a county building permit. It does not name generators, so we call the Zoning Inspector about your lot before filing.

Which gas company serves Hinckley?

It depends on your address. The township directory lists Columbia Gas of Ohio and Dominion Energy, the former name of Enbridge Gas Ohio. In 2023 Columbia said it would build a new main along West 130th Street serving customers in Hinckley Township and nearby. Homes with no main run on propane, which we size at the estimate.

What knocks out power in Hinckley?

Trees on lines, especially in high wind. The downburst of November 5, 2017 brought down hundreds of trees in Brunswick and Hinckley, and over 10,000 people in Medina County were without power at the peak.

Can Generator One reach a rural Hinckley address for repairs?

Yes. Hinckley is served from our nearest facility, and emergency repairs come first during an outage. Call Service at (440) 754-6142. Trucks carry a full stock, so most problems end with one visit.
