What should I expect it to cost to fix a light flickering in my house?

Answer by  Hpd (63)

If you are handy, it could be very inexpensive - a flickering light is often an easy fix. Pull the fuse/turn off the breaker that runs the circuit, take off the light fixture, and check to see if there is a loose wire. If so, tighten and reassemble. Cost: free.

That depends on too many factors to estimate with this information. It could be that the problem is with a single light bulb, or a single light fixture. It could also possibly be a small-scale problem with the home's wiring, or an indication that there are larger issues with the wiring. You'll need to have someone come look at it.

Well, it depends on how big that light is. If it is not that big then maybe around $75. Anything bigger will probably cost more than $100 dollars that's for sure.

You will need to find a licensed electrician for safety. It would usually be $50-$100 depending of the problem and if additional wiring needs to be done.

Answer by  Liz59 (10966)

At the most, it should cost 100 depending on how big the light is. But also, it is important to note that you can probably just fix this flickering light. Perhaps the wattage and the electricity is low. You may want to just replace the bulbs of this lighting fixture.

It really isn't dangerous and fluctuations are part of life especially on the east coast but they can burn out your electronics. Get QUALITY surge suppressors for everything you care about or can't afford to replace.These main wire connections can come loose. Call an electrician,have him "re-torque" the main lugs in your electric meter base and on the main panel(s).

You will need to find a licensed electrician for safety. It could be as low as $75 to as high as hunders, depending of the problem and if additional wiring needs to be done.
