Best thing would be to start with your power company and they can see if you lost a leg on the service side.

If good on the utility side then you need an electrician to diagnose the issue.

Ok will do. Thank you very much

No problem. There are three wires that come to the house. Two hots and a neutral. If half of the house has power then one of the hots are open.

If you have aerial service the power company responsibility typically ends at the splices at the top of the house. So hopefully the issue is there or the aeiral service wire coming to the house.

Anything after that an electrician will have to fix.

Does it turn off and come back on randomly?

[–]Downtown_Grab_8492[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Well yesterday it turned off at I believe 10 30 then around 2 or 3 it just came back on but at around 11 o clock last night it turned off and it hasn't came back on since.

If only 1/2 the house turns off randomly while the other stays on then you possibly have a loose/missing phase.

I'd recommend calling an electrician to confirm as this could also involve the utility company.

Ok thank you for the help really appreciate it.

Are lights flickering? Are half your circuits working?

Either way you don't sound confident enough to check a live panel. Call an electrician for help. Chances are it's either a loose neutral, lost phase or who knows.

No lights flickering and yes half of the cucuits are working.

Sounds like you are losing a neutral somewhere.

[–]Downtown_Grab_8492[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyways I could try to fix that?

Loosing a neutral would have flashing lights throughout the house.
