Default electricity problem

Red,

What does that mean, "lost a phase?"

I check with your neighbors and see if they have any problems. It could
be a problem with the power company.

How much of your home is without power? If a small part (5-20%) I would
guess it is a loose connection somewhere.


If it's 50%, they could have lost a phase.
