Flickering lights are always a bit worrisome. It can happen during a thunderstorm, while the family is getting ready in the morning, or when a large appliance kicks on.. In some cases, an isolated light flicker isn’t a big deal. If the problem persists, though, you will want to get it checked out by Denver area electrical experts, like Piper Electric.

Why Do My Lights Flicker?

There are many possible reasons your lights may flicker from time to time:

  • Loose connections, either hot or neutral, at the device, the junction box, or at the main panel
  • a faulty breaker
  • loose grounds at the breaker panel
  • bad wire caused by overheating from an overloaded circuit

Because there are so many possible causes for flickering lights, it is best to have a licensed electrician inspect your electrical systems to determine the exact cause, especially if the problem persists. Depending on the nature of the problem, there could be the potential for additional issues to arise if it is ignored.
