How do you fix a house with no power?
If the power outage is limited to your home, check your main breaker to see if it’s tripped. Flip the switch back on if it is tripped, which may restore your power. If you are only experiencing a partial power outage, you can try to turn on your electric dryer or range as a test.
What causes no power to house?
Causes. Generally, the power goes out for two reasons; a circuit breaker or fuse is tripped in your home, or the power lines themselves are affected. If the power has gone out just in your house, or some items are working but some aren’t, it’s a sign that the cause is somewhere in your electrical system.

What to do when there is no power to a wall?
Check to see if you have power on that wall and if so then it was just a tripped breaker. If this did not solve your issue, see below for what to do next. If the breaker is on and the outlets are still not getting power on that wall, be sure that even if one of them is a GFI that you press the reset button.

What to do if you lose power to part of Your House?
Regardless of your situation, if you lose power to part of your house and no circuit breakers appear flipped, it’s time for some troubleshooting. Many times a circuit breaker needs reset even if it doesn’t look like it has flipped. Turn off the circuit breaker connected to the faulty area of the home and turn it back on.
