1. If the circuits of your home are protected by an RCD (residual current device) within the consumer unit, check to see if it has tripped. If so reset it.
2. If the RCD trips again, carry out the checks for faulty lights and appliances as described in “a presumed dead circuit”.
3. If following steps 1 – 2 do not help, check with your neighbours to see if they are experiencing the same problems.
5.1. If they are contact your electricity supplier to see if the power to your area has been cut off. If it has not you will need to notify them of the issues so they can check the main supply cable and service fuse.
4.2 If the problems are isolated to your house only call in a qualified electrician to assess the fault
