G. Elliott asked:

My electric company (Kansas City Power and Light) uses 9 different plants to provide electricity to its customers, some coal, some gas, one nuclear, and one wind generated. Has each plant been designated to supply a different area, or do they pour into a collective grid that supplies all the customers?

Dan N asked:

I have a second story outlet that is not connected in the attic. The outlet is finished in the bedroom, but it was not connected to anything in the attic. I want to connect it to the electrical system. How do I do that? Could you refer me to a DIY website? I have basic electrical skills.

Lights go out but no tripped breaker?

JT asked:

The power company came out this morning and told me everything is ok on their end. He said the problem is not the power companies fault.

Last night the power went out in my den for about 5 minutes. The t.v. ceiling fan, and aquarium. I checked the circuit breaker and none were tripped. It was very late so I went to bed.
Now today no lights have went completely out but I can tell there is a bad connection somewhere because the t.v. has blinked and I can hear the aquarium pump stop and start again. It does it very quickly.
I plan to call an electrician soon but it’s a wait until I get paid Friday thing.
Just curious if anyone may give me an idea of what may be wrong.
Something I can or should do before I can get a pro to come look at it.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE
My wife just told me about this morning. (I work midnights).. She said half of the house had no power this morning and half was ok.
Right now everything in the entire house is ok. I know it’s not a ghost and it’s not going to “heal” itself.
Ok. Just wanted to post that it was not only the den. It’s half of the house that goes out from time to time. But rarely starting last night.
