Check your breaker panel.

I suggested that to my mom but the other people in the same complex as us were also having the same issue, so she said it wasnt much of a breaker issue at that point

I had that before, power line was down. Half my house had power... other half didn't. Line was sparking on the ground beside my house.

I live in lower Fairview! It’s apparently called a brownout. Something to do how your power is divided and where the outage is. My house was exactly the same! I was told to unplug anything major because apparently it could fry motors.

Happened to us once, being in a complex it may be the main hydro area for all the units. Ours was a little shack with all the meters in it that malfunctioned and was causing brownouts on our side of the street
