Experiencing a sudden loss of power can be stressful, especially when it’s unclear whether it’s a widespread outage or a fault in your home’s electrical system. Understanding the difference is crucial for safety, preventing damage, and knowing when to call a professional. Power outages may affect your entire neighbourhood and are usually managed by your energy provider, while electrical faults are localized issues that can cause fires, appliance damage, or electrical shocks if not addressed promptly.
