Voltage Fault Diagnosis

The brief

A home with lights that flickered and dimmed whenever an appliance kicked on, and an outlet that felt warm to the touch. The kind of symptoms that are easy to live with until something gets damaged.

What we did

Measured voltage under load, checked the connections at the panel and the affected outlets, and traced it to a loose connection combined with an overloaded circuit. We repaired the connection, rebalanced the load across the circuits, and advised on surge protection for the sensitive electronics.

The result

Steady, even power with no more flicker or warm outlet, and the household’s appliances far better protected.
