My light bulbs keep blowing out

Asked Jun 8, 2007, 07:34 PM — 23 Answers
Hi. The light bulbs in my kitchen and dining area keep blowing out. I hired an electrician to do some other work, and he said my bulbs just blew. However, after I purchased new bulbs, they still blew out. Some of the bulbs are halogen and others are incandescent. I don't have any problems with the outlets.

Thanks for your help.

Could be higher than normal voltage due to a problem in the electrical system, this will require an electrician to do troubleshooting to determine the problem, and effect repairs as necessary.

If you do not trust any electricians, how are you going to have this problem resolved?

You got a bad Electrician, other wise he may checked neutrals and voltages from the Meter.
Hey TK, I don't trust most Electricians. You and others here are.
