WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY POWER SUDDENLY TURNS OFF?

Sometimes your power gets shut off for no reason, and you are stuck wondering what to do. Do I turn the circuit breaker on? Do I call for help? Am I supposed to turn everything off first? Don't panic, there are 3 simple steps to follow that will help you get your power turned back on.

Step 1: Turn everything off

The first thing you need to do is turn off all your electric appliances. This is not only a safety precaution but will prevent any of your things from frying or breaking when you to your power back on. Your TV, lights, appliances, video games or anything else that was turned on when the power went out should be shut off or unplugged. Unless you want that to happen it's very important not to forget this step.

Step 2: Find your circuit breaker

Next you need to locate your circuit breaker and turn our power back on. The circuit breaker is a box containing switches to various areas throughout your house and is usually located in the basement.
