What should I do if the power is out in part of the house?

If the power is out in part of your house, first check if the outage is limited to your home or if it's a wider issue in the neighborhood. If it's just your house, check the circuit breaker to see if a switch has tripped. If that doesn't work, contact your utility company to report the issue and seek further assistance. Avoid using candles for lighting and unplug electronic devices to prevent damage when the power comes back on.
