    Lost power in 2 rooms?
    We lost power in two of our rooms, half of our bedroom and all of our daughters room. My husband has checked all the circuit breakers and they all seem to be fine. Before we have to call the electrician any advise?

    I had a somewhat similar problem that turned out to be a tripped GFCI that was in a bathroom.
    Might be worth a look.

    Good Luck,

    That's what I was going to suggest. We lost power in our dining room because the GFCI outlet in the bathroom tripped. I didn't even know it was on the same circuit because we just moved into a new house and hardly anything is labeled in the panel. Good times. Lol

    Piling on to the above advice.

    If a gfci, commonly in the bathroom or a kitchen, has tripped, it can shut down anything downstream from it... so check for outlets with "reset/test" buttons in the middle, usually around areas that are wet, like sinks, etc...
