Homeowner fix
Turn the system off and check whether other appliances or lights show a power problem. Do not open electrical panels or test live voltage.
When to call a pro
Call a licensed HVAC technician or electrician if PL returns, breakers trip, lights flicker, or the unit will not restart after stable power returns.
