If you've lost power in just one room of your Newcastle or Lake Macquarie home, you're not alone.
Local homeowners often call us with this exact issue—and it’s usually one of these common culprits.
Tripped Circuit Breaker or Blown Fuse
A single room outage usually points to a tripped breaker or blown fuse. This often happens when too many high-energy appliances are used on one circuit. Check your switchboard and learn about switchboard upgrades if it's outdated.
Faulty Appliances or Power Points
Plugged-in devices can cause trips if they're faulty. Try unplugging everything in that room and resetting the breaker. If that doesn’t work, it may be time for a general electrical inspection.
Damaged Wiring
Loose, aged, or damaged wiring is especially common in older homes across Maitland and Lake Macquarie. If you've noticed flickering lights or warm switches, it’s best to book a licensed electrician right away.

A: You can reset it, but if it keeps tripping, it's best to call a professional.
