I'm a single woman. ;-)
I live in an apartment. A few weeks ago the kitchen ceiling light fixture started flickering. I found out by accident that if I turned on the switch next to the kitchen switch (breakfast room) that the flickering stopped. The maintenance guy came out & spent a long time looking for the cause. He replaced both wall switches. He wasn't successful. The next day he brought an electrician with him, replaced the ceiling fixture, tested wires in ceiling, etc. and pronounced it 'fixed' after a couple of hours. This morning it's flickering again.
My question. Is it potentially dangerous in that it could start a fire? I know you can't say with certainty. I just wonder if it's worth having those guys in my place for several hours again. It's not a big deal to me to turn on both switches.
What would you do? Thank you!
