Flickering lights and tripping breakers
Lights that flicker and breakers that trip are your home telling you something. Some causes are minor. Some are not. Here is what they can mean.
Common causes
A breaker that trips now and then may be an overloaded circuit. Flickering lights can come from a loose connection, an old panel, or a large appliance pulling power.
When to worry
If a breaker trips over and over, or you smell burning or see scorch marks, shut it off and call us. Those are signs of a real problem, not a nuisance.
We find the cause
We track the problem to its source instead of guessing. Then we fix it safely and make sure it stays fixed. Your home should feel safe, not spooky.
Quick tips from our crew
- A breaker that trips again and again is a warning, not a nuisance.
- Burning smells or scorch marks mean shut it off and call us.
- Do not just keep resetting the breaker. Find the cause.
