My Lights Are Flickering
Flickering lights can indicate a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a more serious electrical panel issue. In Florida's lightning-prone climate, this should be checked by an electrician to rule out fire hazards.
What to Do Right Now
Lights flicker, dim, or brighten on their own, or flicker when appliances turn on.
What Not to Do
When to Call a Professional
Call an electrician if multiple lights flicker, if flickering is accompanied by dimming when appliances start, or if you hear buzzing from the panel.

Large appliances draw significant power on startup. If your lights dim briefly, it may indicate the circuit is near capacity or the panel needs upgrading. An electrician can assess.
