What causes flickering lights in a house and how to fix them?
Flickering lights usually signal an issue in the lighting circuit, a breaker, the panel, or the service connection that needs diagnosis. Our electricians start with a thorough inspection and testing to find the root cause, then make code-compliant repairs. If your home has outdated components, we may recommend safety upgrades like modern breakers. Electrical inspections are recommended every 5–7 years, especially if you notice flickering in Columbus, Dublin, or Westerville.
Quick checks:
- Gently tighten the bulb or try a new one.
- Note if flicker is one room or whole home.
- Stop using the switch if you smell burning.
