How do I find out why I have no power? ›

How do you check if there is no electricity? ›

Does flushing toilet use electricity? ›

While most toilets rely on gravity to flush, some more recent toilet models do. Not only smart toilets may use electricity but also models that rely on a pump to operate won't function during a power outage. If that is the case for yours, you'll have a limited amount of flushes before it stops working.
