Hi,
The `power went out throughout the house this afternoon but only to the sockets, the lighting circuits are all fine. I went to the consumer unit expecting to reset a circuit breaker but nothing had tripped.

Hi all.
I have a power outlet that has no power coming to it.
The breakers all appear to be untripped (I turned them off & on again to make sure).
The outlet in question is in the bathroom and it is not a resettable GFI plug, but I notice it is in a circuit (2 whites and 2 blacks)
There is a...
I plugged in my 50A marine shore power cable but received no power on my boat. The receptable at the pedestal definitely delivers power and when I test with my DMM, i read 117V between W and G at the end of my shore cable to my boat. There is sitting a device at my boats fuse box which shows a...
Hello all,
I'm replacing a 3-bulb spotlight with a standard BG ceiling rose but upon connecting, the light won't turn on; the problem is, I can't see why.
We can handle the wiring shortly, but after a day or two of testing - wiring the spot back on, test (it works), replacing with the ceiling...
Hi, I have a new Dyno-Glo Garage Heater that I connected to the breaker, and it won't turn on. Multimeter reads 120V going at each node in the heater.
Breaker is a double-pole 30 Amp Stab-Lok, rated for 240V.
I'm not sure how to troubleshoot further, and I'm hoping for some direction, please.
Hello gents,
I am trying to fault find the issue behind an old kitchen socket which suddenly stopped working. I immediately assumed moisture could have been a factor so I bought a new face plate but once I opened it I discovered there is no power to the socket from the incoming cable. The...

Hi All.

Hi I am about to have a loft aerial fitted in my loft, via BT, as I did not realise that BT requires one for its BT TV service to get normal / freeview channels.
The house is only four years old and every room has a tv point fitted and the tv cables all meet in the loft, but are currently not...
Hi All,
I'll add some pics as soon as I can but just to get the thread started, I have a golf trolley battery charger that doesn't have any power.
The unit has a light that should light up when plugged into the power socket however this doesn's light up and no power goes to the battery. I have...
I was replacing a ceiling light fixture this afternoon when all of a sudden there was no more power in the box. The old light was working fine before and I just turned off the switch before doing the replacement. There are 3 sets of wires in the box: power coming in, another set of wires going...

I am trying to move into a house that has been vacant for 2 years. I called the power company because the power isn't working. They sent someone out, but said the meter is good and we need to hire a electrician.
The electrician came out and used a device to see if power was coming out. It...
