Intermittent Power Problem

Power Goes On and Off

Power that cuts in and out can point to loose connections, failing breakers, damaged wiring, overloaded equipment, service equipment problems, neutral issues, storm damage, or a utility/customer-side problem.

What this usually means

How Simon Electric approaches this

  • Intermittent electrical problems can be harder to catch because the circuit may work when someone first looks at it.
  • Repeated cycling, flickering, dimming, or partial power should be documented and tested.
  • Do not ignore a pattern that involves heat, smell, buzzing, or equipment shutting off.
