Why Is My Electricity Going On And Off

You don t say where your room is but you would be wise to have a qualified electrician check it out asap.

Why is my electricity going on and off.

We flip the main circuit breaker from off to on in the garage but it keeps happening. The circuit breaker trips when too much electricity flows through it or when it cannot handle the excess current load. Last night it went off at 5 am when only things on were clocks. Shut off the main breaker at your electric meter and then watch the meter if the meter numbers continue to climb electricity is going somewhere besides your home.

Electricity is off but circuit breaker isn t tripped when the lights go out in one or more rooms or in a series of electrical outlets the culprit is sometimes a circuit breaker or a fuse has blown. However in some cases the breaker or fuse may seem fine and even if you reset the circuit breaker the circuit is still dead. When the electricity in the home is cut off during a storm or other event or if the electrical current spikes the smoke alarm can go off causing a false alarm. Generally the power goes out for two reasons.

Our electricity keeps going off every few hours.
