Get My Free EstimateThe spectacle of dimming or flickering lights isn't just random; it's a symptom, a warning sign from your home's electrical heart. Understanding these common culprits is the first step towards a reliable, well-lit environment.
Often, the simplest explanation is a loose connection – a subtle yet significant problem that can manifest at the fixture, switch, or panel. It generates heat and poses a potential fire hazard.
If too many high-draw appliances operate simultaneously on a single circuit, excessive demand causes a voltage drop. This isn't sustainable for your electrical system.
Components wear out. An old or damaged dimmer switch might supply inconsistent voltage, resulting in erratic flickering or light level failure.
An old incandescent bulb nearing the end of its lifespan or poor-quality LED drivers can cause intermittent contact and flickering.
A sudden power draw from your AC or refrigerator can cause a brief, transient drop in voltage. Frequent occurrences indicate system struggle.
A more serious warning involving loose connections at the meter or issues with the utility lines, affecting multiple circuits simultaneously.
Dismissing these warning signs can have significant, even catastrophic, consequences. It’s about overlooking potential hazards that compromise your home’s safety.
We don't just guess. We systematically investigate affected fixtures, switches, and your panel using specialized diagnostic tools to measure voltage and pinpoint the underlying problem.
