One of the main reasons for loss of power is that a breaker has tripped. This occurs when a circuit is over-loaded due to having connected too many electrical devices. Before you decide to call in for a maintenance try the following to rest the breaker in the panel located in your living area.

1. Unplug all your electronics and turn off the lights.
2. Go to the electrical panel and run your finger down the breakers. There will be one that will move to the middle position when tripped. It will feel a little looser / spring action than the remaining breakers. This means the breaker has tripped.

3. Push the breaker to the OFF position and back to the ON position. The breaker should appear the same as the remaining breakers.
4. Avoid plugging in too many electronics that will overload the breaker. This should stop tripping the breaker again.
If you were unsuccessful in resetting the breaker place a work order for a maintenance request on our website under “Work Orders”.

Avoid over filling the toilet with toilet paper. Do not throw Q-tips, paper towels, feminine product or anything that is not designed to be flushed in a toilet. If you are not able to unclog the toilet, place a work order on our website for a maintenance request and one of our maintenance repair will come the next business day.

Make sure that the thermostat is set on the correct settings, heat or cool. The fan should be set on Auto. Check that the vent in your room is open for proper air flow.
