Why are my outdoor electrical outlets not working?

1) Check the breaker panel

Look for a tripped breaker and reset it if needed.

2) Reset the GFCI outlet  

Locate the GFCI outlet (it will have “Test/Reset” buttons—often one of the outdoor outlets or sometimes a nearby indoor outlet that protects the exterior). Press RESET. This may restore power to all outdoor outlets on that circuit.

Important: If an electrician is called and the issue is one of the items above, the homeowner may be billed up to $300, as these are considered homeowner responsibilities.
