⚠️ Why Your Lights Dim When the AC Kicks On?

Why Your Lights Dim When the AC Kicks On?

On this episode Kevin Lipps of Lipps Electric and Jim Klauck from Check A Pro explain why lights can dim when an air conditioner starts — a large startup (inrush) current can briefly drop voltage, usually causing a short, mild dim. They discuss when dimming is normal and when it may indicate a deeper electrical issue.

Topics include shared circuits, loose or corroded wiring, aging panels and overloaded service, plus practical solutions like rearranging breakers, wiring repairs, or upgrading the panel/service. The hosts emphasize professional diagnosis and budget-based options.
