Schmitgen Electric | Local Electrical Contractor in Pierre, SD

Absolutely. Flickering lights, especially in older or rural homes, can be a sign of loose connections, overloaded circuits, or voltage fluctuations. Our detailed electrical inspection will pinpoint the exact cause. We check your panel, wiring, and connections to ensure everything is secure and up to code, resolving the flicker and preventing potential fire hazards.

When inspecting for voltage drops common in our area, we focus on the service entrance, the main panel's capacity and connections, and the gauge and condition of the wiring running to outbuildings or well pumps. We assess if the system is adequately sized for your property's demands and identify any long wire runs or undersized conductors that could be causing the drop, providing solutions for a more stable power supply.

An older home's electrical system may not handle modern appliances safely. Our inspection checks for outdated wiring like knob-and-tube, insufficient grounding, and overloaded panels—common issues that lead to flickering lights and power problems. We provide a clear report on needed upgrades, helping you make an informed purchase and plan for a safe, reliable electrical system from day one.
