My kitchen counter plug breaker keeps tripping, what is wrong?

Did you replace your own plugs? A common DIY mistake is older homes is to forget to isolate the top and bottom plugs. By simply breaking the tab on the small slot side of the plug you create two separate circuits within one plug.

My outside plugs do not work, what can I check?

One of your outside plugs will have a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) breaker on it. This breaker protects all the plugs on that circuit. Find the outside plug with the GFI breaker (usually at front of house) and reset it. All your outside plugs should then work.

What should I check before calling an electrician?

Before calling for an electrician to come for repairs, you should always double check and reset all your breakers and GFI plugs. This is commonly overlooked, and could save you the unnecessary expense of a service call.
