What should I do if my power is restored but my lights are still flickering?

If your power has been restored but you are experiencing flickering lights, there are a few potential causes and steps you can take to address the issue. Flickering lights can often be attributed to fluctuations in voltage due to various reasons, including issues with the electrical grid, problems within your home’s wiring, or faulty fixtures. First, it is advisable to check if the flickering is limited to specific lights or circuits. If multiple lights or appliances are flickering, it may suggest a more significant issue, potentially related to the service line or the transformer. In this case, it is important to ensure that all electrical connections and equipment are properly maintained. You may also want to examine the light bulbs themselves, as sometimes a loose bulb can cause flickering. It is helpful to tighten or replace the bulb to see if that resolves the issue. For persistent flickering, consulting a licensed electrician can be a wise choice to ensure that there are no underlying electrical problems within the home.
