Your Questions. Our Answers

Frequently Asked Questions About Flickering Lights

You will find answers to all of your most common Electrical Services related questions located here.

Is flickering dangerous even if it's intermittent?

Yes, even occasional flickering indicates an electrical problem that could worsen. Loose connections generating heat don't always flicker constantly. JLM Electric recommends professional diagnosis for any recurring flickering in Queen Creek homes.

Why do lights dim when my AC turns on?

This common issue indicates inadequate electrical service or undersized wiring. While brief dimming might be normal, significant or prolonged dimming requires evaluation. We can determine if you need service upgrades or dedicated circuits.

Can LED bulbs cause flickering?

LED bulbs themselves rarely cause flickering. Usually, the problem is incompatible dimmers, poor quality bulbs, or existing wiring issues that LEDs make more visible. JLM Electric diagnoses the true cause and provides appropriate solutions.

Should I worry if only one room has flickering lights?

Single-room flickering often indicates a circuit-specific problem like loose connections or overloading. While less urgent than whole-house flickering, it still requires professional attention to prevent fire hazards or circuit failure.
