Here's a checklist of things to try before calling us for assistance with flickering lights:

Check Bulbs: Ensure that light bulbs are securely screwed into fixtures and are the correct wattage for the fixture. Replace any flickering bulbs with new ones.

Inspect Connections: Examine the connections between the light fixture and the electrical wiring. Make sure they are tight and secure. Loose connections can cause flickering.

Test Switches: Toggle the light switch on and off to see if it affects the flickering. A faulty switch could be the cause of the issue.

Replace Dimmer Switch: If the flickering occurs with a dimmer switch, try replacing it with a standard on/off switch. Dimmer switches may not be compatible with certain types of bulbs.

Check Voltage: Use a voltage tester to check the voltage at the light fixture. Voltage fluctuations can cause flickering lights. If the voltage is inconsistent, contact a professional electrician to investigate further.

Inspect Circuit Breakers: Ensure that the circuit breaker controlling the affected lights is not tripped. Reset the breaker if necessary.

Test Other Lights: Check if other lights in the same room or circuit are also flickering. If multiple lights are affected, the issue may be with the electrical wiring or circuit.

Remove Other Appliances: Unplug any appliances or electronics on the same circuit as the flickering lights. Overloaded circuits can cause flickering.

By trying these steps, you may be able to identify and resolve the issue of flickering lights on your own. If the problem persists or you're unsure, don't hesitate to contact Advantage Electric for professional assistance.
