The next step is to test which circuits appear to be working and walk to the electrical panel to see if any breakers have tripped. If you see that one or more of the switches are in the OFF position, try switching them to the ON position. If this restores power, then you may have simply had a power surge of some kind, and the electricity should return to normal. If the issue involves GFCI outlets, then you may need to manually reset them using the RESET button located on the outlet cover.

Common Electrical Problems We Diagnose and Fix
Frequently tripping breakers — a breaker that trips repeatedly indicates an overloaded circuit, a short circuit, or a failing breaker that needs replacement. We diagnose the root cause and fix it properly.
Dead outlets — outlets that stop working can be caused by a tripped GFCI, a loose connection, a failed outlet, or a wiring problem further up the circuit. We trace the issue and repair it.
Flickering or dimming lights — can indicate a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a failing fixture. When flickering affects multiple lights or the whole house, it may indicate a more serious panel or service issue.
Burning smell or warm outlets and switches — always a warning sign. Can indicate loose wiring, an overloaded circuit, or a failing device that could cause a fire.
No power to a room or circuit — we trace and restore power to dead circuits, whether caused by a tripped breaker, a failed connection, or wiring damage.
Electrical shocks from outlets or switches — even mild shocks indicate a serious wiring problem that needs immediate attention.
High electric bills — unexpectedly high bills can sometimes indicate a wiring fault, a malfunctioning appliance, or an energy efficiency issue we can help diagnose.

If you have performed the above initial steps, and are still struggling with loss of power, then it’s time to call a certified electrician. Also, if you have been experiencing frequent tripped breakers, this could indicate that a larger issue is at play.
Ignoring such problems could lead to dangerous consequences including electrical fires and property loss. Avoid performing any electrical work that involves wiring or circuit repair, as these kinds of tasks should only be completed by a trained expert.
Certified electricians must undergo a rigorous education program and have years of hands-on training. When you hire a qualified professional for your electrical inspections, repairs, replacements and maintenance services, you’ll know that your electrical system will remain safe and reliable long term.
