I came home last night and found that I had no power in the basement. The breaker is not tripped! Any thoughts??
Thanks

You will first have to verify if you have power coming out of the breaker. You will need a meter and you will have to remove the panel cover.
Turn off the main breaker while you are getting set up. Once the cover is off and before turning the main back on, check wire where it is attached to the breaker and make sure it is secure and also locate the white neutral that is paired with the black wire and make sure it is secure in the neutral bar. If those are good you will need to check the voltage at the output of the breaker.
