Why Do My Lights Flicker?
Flickering lights are one of the most common electrical issues homeowners experience — and while it may seem minor, it can sometimes point to a larger problem.
In many cases, flickering is caused by:
- Loose wiring or connections
- Overloaded circuits
- Faulty light fixtures or bulbs
- Voltage fluctuations when large appliances turn on
If flickering happens occasionally, it may be a simple fix. But if it’s frequent, affects multiple lights, or worsens over time, it could indicate a more serious electrical issue.
A licensed electrician can diagnose the cause and ensure your system is safe and functioning properly.
