Question 1

What may be the cause of some of my receptacles, lights, and switches not working?

Accepted Answer

Question 2

Why does my fuse blow or circuit breaker trip and how do I reset it?

To reset a circuit breaker, switch it to the off position and then back on. If your home has an older fuse panel, you'll need to purchase a new fuse and replace the blown one.

Question 3

Why do my lights flicker?

Accepted Answer

LED bulbs may not be compatible with your existing switches.

Question 4

Why does my recess can light cycle on and off since I put a larger wattage bulb in?

The can light contains a thermal resistor that serves as a safety switch to prevent overheating. Consider using an LED bulb that meets your lighting requirements, or contact Vision Electrical Services Inc to verify the correct can light was installed for your specific application.
