The powere in 2 bedrooms when out. The rest of the house is fine. What's the propblem. The house is 12 -15 years old. 2 outlets are installed very poorly. When I plug in my computer it won't hold the plug in place and the plug fallls out.

You need to help us a little bit, please.

When you say the power is out in two bedrooms, do you mean that the lighting as well as the receptacles in these two rooms are off?

If it is an issue of the receptacles, then more than likely, the conductors were installed in the holes in the back of the receptacles. This is called "Back-stabbing". Over time, these connections will loosen and cause dead receptacles.

As to receptacles not being able to hold the prongs on the plug, this is a statement that the receptacle has weakened and needs to be replaced.

HKstroud:

Had an Electrician come out and $1400.00 later fixed the problem.

There were lots of "quick connects" installed in the house. He suggested replacing all the Plugs and switches, which is what he did.
All the breaker switches had voltage going to them.

He said that over a period , it's a good idea to replace the plugs and switches. I had a few dimmer switches but these were fine and he replaced those anyway.

He said that the 'Problem" must have been somewere in the wall between the 2 bedrooms....but not sure what the problem was exactly.
He did say that a few of the outlets that he replaced just "Popped out".

I thought this might be over kill for the service he was doing. Some of the plugs we don't use at all. He said its just best to replace all at once.

Thanks for your help.
