The power keeps going out in one area of the house. Is there a way to see what is causing it?

Do you have too much stuff on at one time?

I usually have the window ac on in the summer. It's in the same room where the problem is. So I am using a lot less power than other times.

Maybe something has a short in it? Maybe something with a long wire.

Does the house have circuit breakers? What is the type and rating of the breaker? Single switch, no buttons? 20 A?
Which type of printer? Ink jet? B&W laser?
Is the power going out totally at random, or does it happen when you turn something on or plug something in?
Can you unplug the air conditioner to see if that helps?

Are you guys in the U.S.? We only have 120 V here in the U.S. so the wires might be bigger to compensate  |
