Lights or outlets not working

 If your lights or outlets stop working, first check all your breakers, if the problem isn't due to a tripped breaker, then check for tripped GFCI outlets. Check them all. It's common to connect garage outlets and exterior lights and outlets to interior GFCI outlets. If that still doesn't take care of your problem, call me. It's a bit more involved, but basically, I have to troubleshoot by checking connections at outlets and switches and sometimes the main panel to find the problem.

    Also sometimes in older panels when the breaker trips it does not move into the tripped position.So it pays to turn all breakers all the way off and then back on to ensure breaker is reset.

    Thanks, Mike, forgot to mention that!
