Why Do My Lights Flicker? 

Flickering lights are sometimes due to harmless causes, such as a bad bulb or a bulb that’s loose in its socket. These types of issues can be fixed simply by replacing the bulb or tightening the bulb inside its socket. Homeowners are usually able to take care of these fixes on their own, but they should be careful to turn off the light switch to prevent burning or electric shock. If multiple lights are flickering in the same area of the house, it’s likely a problem with the circuit. Since this problem can be dangerous if left unaddressed, it’s best to call an electrician as soon as possible to diagnose the issue and provide the right repair. 

If the lights flicker when large appliances power on, it could be due to an insufficient power supply. An electrician can inspect the system and determine if it’s time for an electrical service upgrade. In the case that flickering lights are not associated with large appliances turning on and the issue is not contained in one specific area but occurs all over the house, it could be a sign of a larger problem in the electrical system, such as a loose connection or bad wiring. Because these types of issues can lead to various hazards, an electrician should be contacted right away for an inspection. 

How to Protect Your Home from Power Surges

Power surges can damage your appliances and compromise your home’s safety. Protect your home by implementing these simple strategies:

• Install a Whole-House Surge Protector: A licensed electrician can equip your electrical panel with a surge protector to safeguard your appliances and devices.
• Use Surge-Protecting Power Strips: For extra protection, use power strips with built-in surge protectors for individual devices.
• Upgrade Wiring in Older Homes: Outdated wiring can increase the risk of surges. Have your home inspected and upgraded by professionals if needed.
• Unplug Devices During Storms: Lightning strikes can cause power surges, so unplug sensitive devices during severe weather.
• Schedule Regular Inspections: Routine electrical system checks ensure all components are in optimal condition, minimizing the risk of surges.
