What to do when power goes out in a room?

Remove the 2 screws that hold the outlet in place. Pull out the outlet carefully and check to see if all wires are connected.

How can I restore power to my house after a power outage?

Then, locate your circuit breaker panel, formerly known as your fuse box (often in the basement or garage, or in the back of the house).

What to do when your power is still not working?

If the power is still not working, check your socket plates for a GFCI receptacle. This is a safety device located in the middle of the plate, between the upper and lower socket. It appears as two little buttons, one for “test” and one for “reset”.
