A light bulb that keeps going out for no apparent reason is a common and frustrating electrical issue that many homeowners face. Dimming and flickering lights may be caused by a single problem, but persistent problems with light bulbs burning out may be a sign of a more serious electrical issue. Find out some common reasons why your light bulbs burn out.
Bulbs typically burn brighter and much faster if the supply voltage to your home is too high. Using a voltage tester or a multimeter, you can check for voltage at a 120-volt standard electrical outlet; Because the power will be on, make sure you know how to do this safely. If a test reveals a voltage greater than 125 volts, you should consult an experienced electrician or your electric utility provider for advice.
The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.
Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!
Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!
Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!
Can any bulb be used in any lamp or fixture? No, a certain wattage is given to a package of bulbs for a reason. The wattage of the light fixture and the wattage of the bulb must coincide. Therefore, a 150-watt bulb will overheat in a lamp that requires a 60-watt bulb. In a short amount of time, the bulb will die. In addition, putting a bulb with a high wattage in a fixture intended for a bulb with a low wattage can cause a fire.
When you screw in a light bulb too tightly, you put too much pressure on the metal connection tab at the bottom of the socket. This can cause the connection to become loose over time and cause the light bulb to flicker. The light bulb will eventually burn out faster as a result of this. Most likely, homeowners can fix this problem on their own. Make sure that you turn off the power to the light fixture before you do any other electrical work. After that, you can raise the metal connection tab to make sure that when the bulb is reinserted, it connects to it. If you feel the need for professional help, call an affordable electrician from Mr. Electric.
Excessive fixture vibration is another factor that contributes to bulb failure. A ceiling fan with a light attached is an excellent illustration of this. At the point when a fan edge becomes uneven, the fan begins to shake, and the vibration wiggles the bulb fiber and abbreviates its life. For this issue, you can try a rough-service bulb. Having an electrical inspection from time to time is also important. What you think is a small inconvenience may have deeper-rooted problems.

The light fixture and any other devices on the circuit may suddenly go dark if there is a short circuit in the wiring. A variety of factors can result in a short circuit. There may be a problem with the wiring of the appliance or fixture cord, a defective cord plug, or a defective light socket. Before resetting the breaker or replacing a fuse, in any of these situations, replace the damaged components. Conduct an electrical inspection to ensure that the circuit breaker has not tripped due to a short circuit before assuming that a dark bulb has burned out.
Old electrical wiring may appear to be nothing but an inconvenience, but in reality, it can be a serious threat to your family and home. Contact Mr. Electric today to get started on ensuring you have a safe wiring system.
