Electrical troubleshooting in Port Norris: common questions
Why do my lights flicker when an appliance starts?
A large motor pulls a surge of current when it starts. A brief dip is normal. A strong flicker points to a loose connection, an undersized circuit or a service problem, and it is worth checking.
What makes a breaker keep tripping?
Three things: too much load on the circuit, a short circuit, or a ground fault. An arc-fault breaker can also trip on a damaged cord or a loose connection. Each one has a different fix.
Can flickering lights be the power company's problem?
Yes. If lights flicker through the whole house, the fault may be on the utility side of the meter. We test at the panel and tell you who needs to fix it.
