DON'T STAY IN THE DARK - ELECTRICAL REPAIR

 If you notice that the lights in your home sometimes flicker or dim, you are not alone. Flickering lights are an extremely common and often harmless electrical problem caused by a bad connection in a specific area. However, it is important to call an electrician to identify the source of the flickering. What appears to be a minor lighting problem could be dangerous and require urgent repair. 

Bulbs

A simple solution to flickering lights could lie in the bulbs themselves, even in fixtures where the bulb is not exposed. If you check yourself, make sure the light is switched off and wear a thick glove to avoid burns.

Loose connection

If the connection of the on-off switch on the luminaire is loose, this could be responsible for the flickering problem. It is also advisable to check that the plug of the appliance does not have bent poles, which can also break the electrical connection. For these problems, it is best to consult a professional electrician, as diagnosing and repairing loose connections can be dangerous and complicated.

Electric arc

If you notice lights flickering throughout your home, this indicates one of the most serious and potentially dangerous causes of flickering lights. Electrical arcing, which occurs when electrical currents jump a crack in their circuit, generates intense heat that can become a potential fire and shock hazard. Do not attempt to examine or solve this problem yourself! 

Overextension

If you notice that lights flicker when using a certain appliance (especially a large one such as a washing machine or air conditioner), it is possible that your electrical system is overloaded. A professional can determine whether your house can handle the electrical load required by your appliances.
