Default electricity problem

Unfortunately upstairs is where we basically live.

Mr. Meehan,

The dining room and the upstairs is off. It looks like we are going to
have to learn to live this way.

Thank you for your advice!

in the fuse box but says it doesn't appear to be a fuse. Does anyone
have any suggestions or ideas of what might be wrong?


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. Finding it and fixing it is not
impossible for the do it yourselfer, but I suspect from your question that
it may be a little dangerous for you to try. You need to find (we can't
help a lot here) where the problem is and then make sure the power is off
(no always simple) and then fix it (not always safe.)

Good Luck
