When multiple rooms lose power at the same time, it’s usually a sign of a larger electrical issue. Homeowners may notice several outlets, lights, or entire sections of the home suddenly stop working. Sometimes this happens after a breaker trips, a storm passes, or electrical work is done elsewhere in the house.

Common reasons this happens:

In many homes, power loss across multiple rooms can be caused by a tripped or failing breaker, a loose connection in the electrical panel, or a problem with a shared circuit. Older homes may experience this due to aging wiring or worn connections. In some cases, a failed GFCI outlet can shut down power to several rooms at once.

​

When to call an electrician:

If resetting breakers doesn’t restore power, or if the problem keeps coming back, it’s time to call a professional. Ignoring power loss across multiple rooms can lead to damaged wiring or safety risks. A licensed electrician can safely locate the source of the problem and restore power properly.
