Electrical Troubleshooting FAQs for Dexter
Why do my lights flicker in my Dexter home?
A single flickering bulb is usually the bulb or fixture. Flickering in one room points to a loose connection on that circuit. Flickering through the whole house can be a loose main or neutral connection, or a utility problem, and needs prompt attention.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
The three usual causes are an overloaded circuit, a short or ground fault, or a worn-out breaker. We measure the load, test the wiring, and check the breaker so you know which one it is.
How long does troubleshooting take?
Most faults are found within the first hour. Intermittent problems can take longer because we may need to recreate the conditions that trigger them.
