Half of my lights are out and large appliances are not working?

If you have breakers:

Check for tripped breakers and try turning off and resetting your main breaker. (Read: How To Reset Circuit Breakers.) If the main breaker is warm to the touch, there could be other problems with your electrical system. If resetting the breaker does not fix the problem, it is possible that your main breaker is defective and you should call a qualified, licensed electrician. Also you may have lost one phase (leg) of your main power supply coming into the house. Contact your utility company and have them inspect their service line for problems.

If you have fuses:

Check for blown fuses, if all the fuses are good than one of your main fuses may have blown and needs to be replaced. Or you may have lost one phase (leg) of your main power supply coming into the house. Contact your utility company and have them inspect their service line for problems.
