If they are then problem is likely on that circuit. If they are on more than one circuit then the problem could be with the incoming power to your house. One of the hot leads could be loose. __________________ Do not PM with questions that can be asked in a forum. I will not respond.

A call back to the electrician who did the install is your best suggestion. __________________ Do not PM with questions that can be asked in a forum. I will not respond.
