Most Common Electrical Problems:
Faulty wiring inside or outside the home
Power surges causing breakers to flip
Pest damage to wiring in your attic
How to reset your breakers:
Go to your electrical service panel (often called a "breaker box") and the breaker that is in the tripped position (usually somewhere between the "off" and the "on" positions). You can also find the affected breaker if you have a good labeling system to your breaker box and you can identify which room or area has lost power. You will need to flip the suspect breaker toward the "off" position until you feel a click. Then you will want to return the breaker to the "on" position and that should restore power to your circuit. Go test the power in the area of your home affected. If it's working, congratulations. If not, use the form to the left to locate an electrician in your area.
