Anytime your electricity goes out in your home, you are left in the dark.
You may be able to fix some of the simpler things, but if your circuit breaker cuts off and on, you might have a problem that you need help with.
A flickering light that continues after you replace the bulb can also indicate a problem such as a poor connection, and if you have similar bulbs in different location that are at different intensities you have a bad neutral. Random sockets going out might be because you did not realize that wall switch that appears to do nothing actually turns off some of your electrics. Or it might mean you have an "open" - a fault somewhere in the circuit.
If all of that is jargon to you, you are not alone. Most of us can manage to reset a breaker or a GFCI (a kind of breaker used in bathrooms and kitchens) that has tripped or even rewire a socket, but when you start having mysterious electrical problems, it may be time to call a Philadelphia electrician. Also, never solve a circuit breaker or fuse problem by putting in a more powerful breaker - this can cause a fire.
If you have chandeliers, ceiling fans or switches that need rewiring, you need help from a professional. You most likely do not have the tools to check for the cause of wall switches getting too hot or bulbs that are not burning as bright as normal. When your lights begin failing, you know it is time to get an electrician to check things out.
Special testing equipment makes it possible for an electrician to locate the problem. Weather may have something to do with your lights flickering, you may have a problem with the overall wiring in your house or it may be a problem that is the electric company's responsibility to take care of. Whenever you are not sure about the cause of your problem, call an electrician right away. A professional will check out everything and will work until your problems are taken care of and the electricity is working properly. They will not just fix the simplest things and leave the rest.
If you are the owner of an older home, you may have older circuits that cannot carry the present load, some things may have been grandfathered in or it may have aluminum wiring which could cause a fire. A professional electrician can advise you concerning the things that need an upgrade. This sounds expensive, but in the long run it pays for itself and increases your home's value. There may also be things done by an unlicensed person that would not pass code today.
When you have incandescent bulbs that go out when they have not been used much, lights that go off and on or other strange problems with your electricity, it is time to contact a licensed Philadelphia Electrician to check things out and do the repairs. They will make sure you and your family are safe and that you no longer have to sit in the dark.
