Ever notice your lights dim or flicker the exact moment your microwave, A/C, or vacuum kicks on?
It’s easy to blame a bad bulb, but if it's happening across the room, your appliances are actually fighting for power.
Older homes, especially those still running on outdated 60-amp or 100-amp panels—simply weren't built for modern electrical loads. When a heavy-duty appliance demands power, it steals it straight from your lighting circuits. Think of it like trying to force a fire hose through a garden straw.
Don't ignore the warning signs. Constant flickering is a major indicator that your panel is overloaded, which can lead to tripped breakers or damaged electronics.
It might be time to upgrade to a safe, modern 200-amp service. Call us today to get your home's system inspected!
