I was visiting the 'rents this weekend (ok, so I was raiding their fridge), and I noticed that the power to the whole house would just shut off for about two seconds, and then turn back on. It did this about 3 times in the hour that I was there. My mother said that it had been happening for a few hours. The most I know about any of the inner workings of electricity in the home is how to turn on a light switch. So I'm really in the dark with this one (pun intended).

The house is about 20 years old and this problem has never happened before. My aunt lives on the street behind them and isn't having any problems.

Any suggestions or should they just shell out some dough for an electrician?

Thanks in advance.
