What to do when power goes out at one of the powerpoints in my home?

Question

I used an extension cord so I could plug in the heater, the telly, game console and dvd player but within 10 minutes, the power just went out. I have unplugged everything and switched off the powerpoint and left it for a while now. Any advice?

Answer 1

you cant plug so much stuff into the thing. try plugging em in at different spots around your house.

Answer 2

you are blowing your fuse to that circuit, you need to put those things in different outlets. Or put one extension cord in the outlet and only plug in maybe two things. Then plug in another extension cord in another outlet and plug in two other things. Or try a surge protector.

Answer 3

OVERLOADED THE POWER POINT.

If you have not burnt the power point out then it should work, but for goodness sake don't plug all that stuff to one point.

Use a different power point for the heater.

Answer 4

fuse

Answer 5

you probably poped a breaker. it would be in your garage or on the side of your house. if you see one on one side but all the others are on the other flip it back over and that should solve your problem.

Answer 6

IF YOUR NOT ONE.... THEN CALL AN ELECTRICIAN HMMMM

Answer 7

flip the breakers and dont try that ever again unless you have a decent power strip
