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.

Cranberry asked:

My friend reccomended her oldest family friend to do my electrical work on a new room. He’s retired and now does odd jobs. He will be putting in 6 outlets, a breaker, a light switch and a ceiling light. The new room is completely framed but no drywall is up yet, so all the wires are easy to get to, He said it would cost about $75 for materials and he’s charging $150 for labor.
How’s that sound?
I’ll be using him even if he’s over charging because he’s my friends friend and he’s retired, ya know… but I’m just curious. If it’s a good deal, I’ll use him for now on (we’ll be finishing a basement next).
