Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my light flicker even with a new bulb?
If a new bulb doesn’t fix the flicker, the problem is usually the switch, the wiring, or a loose connection at the fixture itself — not the bulb. It’s worth having it checked rather than replacing bulbs repeatedly.
Is it safe to keep using a switch that feels warm?
No. A warm switch usually means a loose connection or an overloaded circuit, and both can get worse over time. Turn off the breaker to that switch if you can, and have it inspected.
Can you add a light fixture where there’s no wiring yet?
In most cases, yes — as long as there’s attic or crawlspace access to run new wiring back to the panel or an existing circuit. We’ll confirm whether your specific room is a straightforward job before any work starts.
Do you install dimmer switches?
Yes, including matching a dimmer to the type of bulbs and fixture you have — not every dimmer works with every bulb, and a mismatch is a common cause of flickering.
