The August 6, 2024 storms went further: more than 322,000 Illuminating Company customers lost power, and FirstEnergy's community list gave South Euclid an estimate of August 12 by 11 p.m., six days later.

Frequently Asked Questions
South Euclid Generator Questions, Answered
Does South Euclid have a generator rule?
We did not find a chapter just for generators. Schedule 722.01, the list of permitted accessory structures in residential districts, has a line for central air conditioning units and none for generators. We ask the Building Department how it applies to your lot before work starts.
Could the Architectural Review Board see my South Euclid generator?
The board reviews the character and design of buildings in commercial and residential districts, and the city’s page does not list generators either way. We raise it with the Building Department for your address so nothing stalls after you have signed.
Who pulls the generator permit in South Euclid?
We do. Generator One pulls the permit with a licensed electrician and schedules the inspections through the city’s Building Department at South Euclid City Hall, so you are not chasing applications.
What knocks out power in South Euclid?
Damaging wind on Illuminating Company lines. The city posted about it in November 2020, when additional workers were called in, and in August 2024 restoration here was estimated at six days after the storm.
How do I book a South Euclid repair?
Call Service at (440) 754-6142, and our technicians leave from our nearest facility with a stocked truck. During an outage they work emergency calls first and can fix most problems on that visit.
