If a circuit in your home overloads or shorts, the breaker will trip and cut power. This helps prevent fire and possible electrocution. Resetting the breaker will restore power to the affected room(s) if there is an outage in your neighborhood.

How to Reset Breakers

Turn off light switches and unplug appliances in all rooms that have lost power.

Find your circuit breaker box and open the cover. Inside you’ll see the circuit breakers – small switches that may be labeled "kitchen," "bathroom" etc.
