Are you experiencing the frustrating issue of lights flickering in your Blackpool home?
It's a common problem that can be caused by various factors, from poor quality fittings to aging wiring and overloading circuits. At West Coast Electrical, we understand how disruptive this can be to your daily life, and we're here to shed some light on the reasons behind this issue and how we can help you resolve it.
Poor Quality Fittings
One of the common reasons for flickering lights is poor quality fittings. Low-quality light fixtures or bulbs can cause intermittent flickering due to loose connections or manufacturing defects. These issues can result in inconsistent power flow, leading to flickering lights.
Aging Wiring
Over time, the electrical wiring in your Blackpool home can deteriorate. This aging process can cause poor electrical connections, leading to voltage fluctuations that manifest as flickering lights. If your home's wiring hasn't been updated in many years, it may be time for an electrical inspection and potential rewiring.
Overloading Circuits
Modern homes are filled with an increasing number of electrical devices and appliances. When too many of these devices are connected to a single circuit, it can overload the circuit and cause lights to flicker as it struggles to supply the required power. This is a safety hazard and should be addressed promptly.
