Flickering lights can be a cheap fix or an electrical emergency. Learn the six most common causes, from LED dimmers to loose neutrals, and when to call an electrician in Illinois.
The most common harmless cause. Swap to an LED-rated dimmer switch.
Tighten the bulb; if it persists, the fixture socket or wiring may be loose.
Lights dim when a large appliance starts. Consider a dedicated circuit.
Whole-house flicker, especially with bulbs brightening and dimming, can indicate a loose service neutral – a fire risk. Call for electrical repair right away.
Heat-damaged bus bars and worn breakers cause intermittent connections. Learn about breaker replacement.
If neighbors have the same issue, call your utility.
