Best Answer

One assumes you are talking about intermittent power in an outlet or a light fixture. In either case it is likely something is loose. If it is a single outlet or switch, turn off the power and tighten any screws or wire nuts inside the box covered by the outlet or switch plate. If it is one light it may be a bad bulb that needs to be replaced. The filament may be vibrating causing current to flow one second and then open. If it is multiple lights, look at the controlling switch and tighten as described above. Finally, call an electrician since the arcing could cause a fire.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Before you do any work yourself,

on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,

always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

How does a Power Saves work?

when you use an air conditioning unit set it to power save. It'll run til the room temperature is cool enough then shut off so its not running for a long period of time and running up your electric bill, then when the room is warmer again it'll turn back on to cool it off again. I use it all the time and i've noticed a big change in my electric bill.
