LIGHTS TOO BRIGHT
OR DIM
Licensed Commercial Electricians in Ottawa
When a light starts to dim and then gets brighter, you have a serious situation developing. Don’t delay. There is probably a loose or corroded connection in the panel or in the service cable coming from the utility power line transformer. If the problem is between the transformer and your meter, it is the responsibility of the power company and you should contact them for repairs or replacement. If the problem is your panel, it is your responsibility and you need an electrician.
