Do Your Lights Dim When Your Air Conditioner Turns On?
If you've noticed your lights flicker or dim every time your air conditioner starts, you're not alone. While it can be annoying, it doesn't always mean there's something wrong with your electrical system.
Our first step is to inspect your home's electrical system to make sure everything is operating safely and correctly.
Sometimes, however, the cause isn't inside your home at all. Homes located farther from the neighborhood transformer can experience a larger voltage drop when a high-demand appliance like an air conditioner starts.
In many cases, installing an A/C Soft Start is an excellent solution. A Soft Start significantly reduces the large surge of electricity your air conditioner needs during startup, helping to:
- Reduce or eliminate dimming lights
- Lower stress on your electrical system and air conditioner
- Improve overall system performance
- Make it easier to operate your air conditioner when using backup power or a generator
If your lights dim every time your A/C starts, don't ignore it. Let us evaluate the cause and recommend the right solution for your home.
