It's probably a bad connection inside one of the outlet boxes or possibly a tripped GFI.

You have 1 outlet in the garage - 1 in your bathroom and 1 exterior outlet that all stopped working - you have checked your breakers and they seem to be ok What should you do?

Your outside outlets should be connected to GFCI devices. If they are receptacles the downstream side of the receptacles is also protected. It sounds like one of these receptacles has tripped. Try resetting the bathroom one first and then check to see if the power came back on. Then try resetting the outside receptacle if it is a GFCI. The outlet in the garage is probably fed either off of the bathroom circuit or the outside receptacle.


Where the circuit breakers are located?

Circuit breakers are typically located in a centralized electrical panel, which is commonly found in basements, utility rooms, or garages of homes and buildings. The panel is usually a metal box with a hinged door that can be opened to access the circuit breakers inside.


Should you use 14-2 or 12-2 for garage outlets and lights in Richfield mn?

The only determining factor is the size of the circuit breaker that you will be using. If the garage circuit will be protected with a 15 Amp breaker, you may use a 14 AWG wire. If the circuit will be protected with a 20 amp breaker, you must use a 12 AWG wire. Note too that garage outlets should be protected with a GFCI breaker or outlet. If you have any concerns regarding your ability to adequately design and install the garage outlets, please, for your own safety, contact a local electrician.


Do all electrical outlets in a garage need to be GFCI?

Yes, but you can feed multiple outlets from one GFCI outlet. Make the first outlet fed in the cicuit a GFCI. Search for GFCI outlet with Google, etc. and I'm sure you will find an explanantion of how. Most GFCI's come with instructions also.


What might cause a loss of all electricity in your garage but not your house without a storm hitting or sudden increase of electricity usage?

You might be plugging something in that could have a fault on it, sometimes plugging in a transformer could trip out your fuse, but more often than not your electricity will go due to its breaker tripping at the board due to something being plugged in. Check the cord on the appliance, if no visible damage open plug and and check for loose wiring and check connections at appliance also check for leaking water into sockets and lights! A tripped breaker or a tripped GFCI plug, or maybe you have a blown breaker, or a corroded wire.

If your garage door opener has no power, first check if the power source is working. Ensure the outlet is functioning and the power cord is connected properly. If the power source is fine, check the circuit breaker or fuse box for any tripped breakers or blown fuses. If the issue persists, consider contacting a professional for further assistance.


Do garage outlets need to be protected by GFCI?

Yes, garage outlets should be protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) to prevent electrical shocks and reduce the risk of electrical fires.


What happens if only half the outlets work on run the main breaker?

assuming you have reset all of the other circuit breakers as well, look for a ground fault interrupt outled (GFI). It will have a small red and black button in the middle. It will probably be near water, in bathroom kitchen or garage. Reset it and the other outlets should work again.

How many eletrcal outlets can you have in a garage?

There is no limit as to the amount of circuits you can have in a garage. If you mean how many devices on a 15 amp single circuit breaker then the answer is 12. Be sure to total in light fixture outlets and switch boxes.

How many watts does a garage use?

Let's start with a typical 110 VAC service. You probably have 20 amp breakers in the service in the garage, and with at least 2 breakers, we have some idea of the theoretical electrical consumption. Remember, Volts X Amps = WATTS, so 110VAC X (2 breakers X 20AMPs) = 110 X 2 X 20 = 2200 WATTS


Why is there no power to the garage door opener?

There may be no power to the garage door opener due to a tripped circuit breaker, a blown fuse, a disconnected power source, or a malfunctioning garage door opener. It is important to check these potential issues to determine the cause of the power loss.
