It can be. While many electrical panels do produce vibrations that can create a light buzzing sound, there are other more serious potential causes. A loose wire or faulty circuit breaker can also generate a buzz. Both should be fixed by licensed electrical contractors.

If you weren't expecting a scheduled outage, then the first step is to call your Nassau and Suffolk County electrical provider to make sure there's no maintenance work going on. If the issue is isolated to your property and not those around you, call our licensed electrical contractors for immediate service.

The most common cause of a circuit breaker that flips repeatedly is an overloaded circuit, such as when too many appliances are connected to the same line. According to Clifford Power, circuit breakers are made to only work at 80% of their capacity.

Try to identify what's drawing power at the time of the flip and call us for a quick and easy solution. If you need additional help, our team of licensed electrical contractors would be happy to assist.

Wondering how electric contractors safely install and use outdoor holiday lights? Here are some tips below.

-Make sure outdoor holiday lights are rated for exterior use by an independent testing laboratory.

-Only use weather-resistant exterior lights and extension cords.

-Fasten outdoor lights securely to trees, houses, walls, or other firm support to protect them from wind damage.

-Avoid attaching light strings with nails or staples as these can cut through the wire insulation and start a fire.

-Use only UL-approved hangers. 

-Take exterior lights down within 90 days to prevent hazards from weather damage or critters chewing on them.

-Store lights safely after taking them down. Tangled lights can lead to damaged cords and broken sockets. They're also a pain to untangle!

-Wrap the strings around a piece of cardboard, cover them in paper or fabric, and then store them in a sturdy container until next year.
