Hi everyone.... usually i have questions about repairing electronics but this time the problem is my condo...
My apartment has awful electrical wiring that is likely around 100 years old. Rewiring would be very destructive so i am not looking to do that for a place i will eventually move out of.
I have line conditioners on every outlet, so i have clean AC going to all my appliances, but i don't have as much control over things like my ceiling lamps.....
In my kitchen but no other room there are two lights that are a cluster of three lightbulbs. When you turn on the switch, both clusters turn on, so 6 light bulbs total.
For the first few years i was living here there were no problems. Starting last year I noticed some lightbulbs would die faster than others. It's now at the point where no matter what kind of lightbulb i put in (the old style incandescent or the new LED ones) all three bulbs will be dead within a couple weeks to a month.
I can't figure out why this would be a problem now but not in the past. I have a feeling there is an electrical problem that might be out of my control since the ceiling fan in one room (but not the other) stopped working around the same time the kitchen started burning out bulbs faster.
PS if it matters, the ceiling fans are Minka Aire branded, and i did check the troubleshooting for it. Pretty much the only thing i hadn't tried the troubleshooting guide suggested was cutting off the breaker to the whole condo for a minute and turning it back on, but this didn't fix anything.
