What Causes Flickering Lights?

Flickering lights can be caused by a wide range of electrical issues. Some are simple — others are dangerous.

Loose Bulbs or Fixtures

A loose bulb or loose light fixture connection can cause intermittent flickering.

Loose Wiring

Loose wiring is one of the most common causes of flickering lights — and one of the most dangerous. It can lead to overheating and electrical fires.

Overloaded Circuits

If lights flicker when appliances turn on, your circuit may be overloaded.

Failing Breakers

A weak or failing breaker can cause lights to dim or flicker.

Faulty Switches

Old or worn switches can cause inconsistent power flow.

Voltage Fluctuations

If your lights brighten and dim, you may have a voltage regulation issue.

Panel Problems

Loose lugs, corroded connections, or failing components inside the panel can cause flickering throughout the home.

Utility Company Issues

Sometimes the problem originates outside your home — we can determine that for you.

Storm or Lightning Damage

Florida storms frequently cause electrical disturbances that lead to flickering lights.

Loose or failing wiring
Overheating connections
Breakers failing to trip
Dangerous arcing
