Gelinas HVAC: Your Source for Plumbing, HVAC, and Electrical Services

A light fixture that flickers, buzzes, or fails unpredictably often points to a loose connection or faulty switch behind the wall. Gelinas HVAC Services has provided reliable lighting repairs across Scarborough since 1994, systematically inspecting switches, socket contacts, and branch circuits. Operating under Maine Electrical License #MS60022397, our licensed electricians adhere to safety standards in NFPA home electrical safety guidance.

As a local, family-owned business, Greater Portland homeowners trust our experienced electricians to resolve electrical issues safely and thoroughly.

What causes a single light fixture in my home to flicker repeatedly? Single flickering lights usually stem from loose wire connections, worn lamp sockets, or incompatible LED dimmer switches.

Why are lights flickering across multiple rooms in my Scarborough home? Whole-house flickering often indicates a loose neutral connection at the electrical panel or utility meter, representing a serious fire risk.

Is it normal for lights to dim when my refrigerator or AC compressor starts? Slight momentary dimming is common. Pronounced, lasting dimming points to overloaded circuits or loose electrical connections.

Should I repair or replace a broken light fixture? We provide pricing for both options. Replacing inexpensive fixtures is usually the most economical solution.

Why is my dimmer switch making a humming or buzzing noise? Humming dimmers indicate voltage mismatches between the dimmer control and the LED bulbs. Installing an LED-rated dimmer resolves the issue.

Is a warm light switch plate dangerous? Yes, warm switch plates indicate electrical resistance and arcing. Discontinue using the switch and contact us immediately.

Flickering lights, buzzing dimmers, or unresponsive fixtures often indicate loose wire connections, worn sockets, or circuit overloads. If troubleshooting uncovers damaged branch wiring or faulty controls, our electricians provide prompt electrical repair and switches and outlets service. When older fixtures are beyond economical repair, we offer stylish options for new lighting installation. If widespread lighting flickering points to panel issues, we evaluate whether an electrical panel upgrade is necessary.

It is worth addressing lighting concerns promptly if you spot any of these warning signs:

A light fixture keeps flickering or cutting out after you put in a fresh bulb.
Lights across several rooms flicker together, which points to a loose neutral at the panel.
A fixture, socket, or wall switch plate feels hot or warm to the touch.
You notice a distinct burning odor near a light or wall switch.
A fixture works intermittently when tapped, indicating active arcing inside the box.

Electrical arcing and localized heat inside wall boxes represent serious fire hazards. Call (207) 672-2801 for fast, professional repair.

Don’t let a failing heating or cooling system disrupt your home’s comfort and safety. Whether you need fast emergency dispatch or routine support, Gelinas HVAC Services delivers prompt, reliable lighting repair across Scarborough and Greater Portland. Call our local team today at (207) 672-2801 or request service online to receive a real arrival window and an upfront, transparent estimate.

Common Lighting Faults We Solve

When light fixtures flicker constantly, burn out bulbs rapidly, or stop working altogether, the problem is usually deeper than a spent bulb. Our licensed Scarborough electricians systematically diagnose circuit wiring, switches, and fixture sockets to fix underlying faults. Here are the top lighting repair problems we solve.

Overheating or loose metal tab contacts inside light bulb sockets cause arcing that burns out bulbs within weeks of installation. We replace damaged lamp sockets, clean corroded contacts, adjust center contact tabs, and ensure proper bulb wattage matching to prevent rapid failure.

When a hallway or stairwell light only works when a specific switch is flipped, a traveler wire on a three-way switch circuit has been miswired or shorted. We test traveler wire continuity, replace failed three-way toggle switches, and rewire terminals correctly for seamless dual-switch operation.

A loose shared neutral wire in a ceiling junction box causes voltage imbalance, making lights in one room dim while others brighten unexpectedly. We trace ceiling box splices, secure loose wire connections, and replace scorched wire nuts with high-torque connectors.
