Flickering lights

Sooner Home Services

One flickering fixture is a bulb or a loose connection. Whole-house flicker is a service or neutral problem and it needs attention.

Brief dimming when the AC starts is normal inrush. Sustained flicker across the house points to a loose main neutral or a failing service connection, which damages electronics and is a genuine hazard. Flicker in one room usually traces to a loose device or a dimmer mismatched to LED loads.
