The short answer
A single dark room usually means that circuit's breaker tripped, a local isolator is off, or a junction failed. Compare with other rooms before assuming a full outage.
Common causes
- Breaker for that circuit tripped
- Faulty local switch or junction
- Overload when heaters/ACs share the circuit
- Damaged cable after renovation work
What you can safely check
These are low-risk checks only. Do not open live electrical panels, handle refrigerant, or dismantle fuel systems. If anything feels unsafe, stop and book a verified professional.
- Confirm neighbouring rooms still have power
- Inspect the consumer unit for a breaker in the off/trip position
- Check whether a fused connection unit or isolator for AC/water heater is off
- Avoid using damaged extension leads as a workaround
When to call a professional
- Smell of burning in walls or the consumer unit
- Partial power with severe flicker
- Trip returns immediately after reset
How Tușe and iRanti help
Open the Tuse app and describe what is happening in your own words — for example, “no power in one room”. iRanti reads the description, suggests the likely service category and a price band, and routes you toward a verified electrical work professional. It is a preliminary assessment, not a definitive remote diagnosis: the artisan still inspects on site before any repair.
Starting price for Electrical work
Electrical work on Tuse starts from ₦10,000. That is starting guidance, not a guaranteed final quote. Scope, parts, and complexity can change the total — you see the price in the app before you confirm, and any on-site change needs your approval first.

FAQs
Why is only one room without power?
That circuit likely tripped or has a local fault. An electrician traces the circuit if a reset does not hold.
