What to do if your Electric goes out

Check for power cuts in your area. you can call 105 and get information on any local power cuts. Check if your neighbours have also lost electricity. If they have, it’s likely that the fault is on our electricity network. Also check the street lighting. If you notice that the street lights are on but the lights in all or some of the houses in your street are off then there’s a fault at the local sub-station or power cables feeding your street. If everyone else has power and your home doesn’t, then it’s likely to be an issue with your own fuses or breakers. If your fuses and breakers are OK, then you could have an internal wiring or appliance fault.
