• FLICKERING LIGHTS
• If you spot lights in your home that occasionally
  flicker like candle flames, dont ignore these
  occurrences.
• This indicates a power surge running through the
  electrical system, likely because a large
  appliance (the refrigerator, the air conditioner)
  has put excessive demand on the system.

  cumulative damage to appliances in your home, and
