Partial Power Problem

Half Your House Has No Power?

If half the house has no power, the issue may be more serious than a single tripped breaker. It can involve a main breaker, subpanel, meter/main equipment, utility-side service, customer-side service equipment, or a neutral problem.

What this usually means

How Simon Electric approaches this

  • Some rooms or appliances may work while others do not.
  • Lights may dim, brighten, flicker, or behave differently when larger equipment turns on.
  • The issue may involve 120/240 volt service, a panel connection, a breaker problem, or FPL/customer-side service equipment.

What we check

Electrical troubleshooting path

  • Which rooms, outlets, lights, and appliances are affected.
  • Main breaker, branch breakers, subpanels, and signs of heat or buzzing.
  • Meter/main equipment and service conductors when the symptoms point outside the branch circuit.
  • Whether FPL or another utility needs to be involved because the issue may be utility-side.

Safety first

What not to do

  • Stop using the affected outlet, circuit, equipment, or area if you can do that safely.

  • Call emergency services first if there is active fire, smoke, or immediate danger.

FAQ

Common questions

Is half-house power loss dangerous?

It can be. Partial power can point to service equipment, panel, breaker, or neutral issues that should be tested by a licensed electrician.

Should I keep resetting breakers?

No. If the problem returns or affects multiple areas, stop forcing breakers and have the electrical system checked.

Can FPL be involved?

Sometimes. If the utility side is suspected, the electrician may coordinate the next step with the power company.
