Expert Lighting Repair for Your Charlottesville Home

When a light stops working, it can disrupt your entire routine. While a burnt-out bulb is a simple fix, many lighting problems stem from deeper electrical issues that require a professional touch. Attempting DIY electrical repairs can be hazardous, leading to potential shocks, fire risks, or further damage. At Southern Air, our licensed electricians are trained to safely diagnose and resolve any lighting issue you face.

Common Lighting Problems We Solve:

1. Flickering or Dimming Lights: This often points to more than a loose bulb. It can indicate a faulty switch, a poor connection in the wiring, or an overloaded circuit. We trace the problem to its source for a permanent fix.
2. Lights That Don't Turn On: If changing the bulb doesn't work, the issue could be with the fixture itself, the wall switch, or the circuit wiring. Our troubleshooting process quickly identifies the point of failure.
3. Buzzing or Humming Noises: Unusual sounds from a light fixture, switch, or dimmer are a clear warning sign. This can be caused by incompatible components, a faulty transformer, or loose wiring, all of which pose a safety risk.
4. Frequently Burnt-Out Bulbs: If you're replacing bulbs far too often in one fixture, it may be receiving too much voltage, have a poor connection causing power surges, or have insulation issues causing it to overheat.
5. Tripping Circuit Breakers: A light fixture that repeatedly trips a breaker is a serious red flag for an overloaded circuit or a dangerous short circuit. We will diagnose the circuit load and wiring to ensure it operates safely.
6. Broken or Malfunctioning Switches and Dimmers: We can repair or replace worn-out, broken, or outdated switches and install modern dimmers to give you complete control over your lighting ambiance.

From antique lamp repair to troubleshooting complex recessed lighting systems, we have the expertise to restore full and safe functionality to your home’s lighting.
