If you have circuit breakers there is a double breaker at the top of the row of breakers marked Main. Flip that one and it shuts the house off. Older houses with fuses have a pull out fuse with two long round fuses in a holder. Pull the holder out and everything is dead. There should be two of these holders in the fuse box. One is the main and the other will be for a stove. The main will be marked Main.
