Why Hire an Electrician for Residential Electric Installations
You may be of the opinion that you only need a professional electrician for wiring jobs and other serious electrical work. The truth is there are no small electrical jobs. The safety hazards are the same across the board which is why it is a good idea to leave even simple installation jobs like installing a new ceiling fan to a professional.
You definitely need to call us for any of these jobs.
Replacing or Upgrading Circuit Breaker
GFCI or ground fault circuit interrupter receptacles are a common feature in modern homes. These are designed to cut of power in the event of an unbalanced load or contact with water. Outlets with built-in USB ports are also common fixtures in modern homes. Older homes require that you add these on. Although it may seem like a straightforward task, it is best to hire an electrician to install the fixtures safely. Improper grounding especially of the GFCI can result in loss of power or electrocution.
Replacing or Upgrading Circuit Breaker
You may need to upgrade your circuit breaker as you acquire new and more appliances especially in an older home. This is an extremely complicated job that should never be attempted by an amateur. Call us to request a quote for a new circuit breaker panel.
Replacing Light Fixtures
Most light fixtures around the home are relatively straightforward to replace. You however need a licensed electrician if the wattage required for the new fixture is more than your existing circuit amperage.
Err on the side of caution and hire an electrician when replacing light fixtures in an old home. Most ceiling lights today need high-temperature insulation that wasn’t a feature on older homes. You also need to make sure that your ceiling mounts can support the weight of the fixture you intend to install.

When to Call Us for Residential Electrical Repair
Electrical problems range from the minor to serious fire hazards and it is not always obvious the level of danger involved. As a rule of thumb, you should treat any electrical issue as an urgent problem and contact an electrician as soon as possible.
Do not attempt to perform electrical repairs yourself or enlist the help of a friend who is good with electrical. Besides the obvious fire and electrocution risk involved when handling electricity, you may not be able to file insurance claims in case of an incident resulting in unqualified, untrained or unlicensed persons attempting to do electrical work.
Hire our contractors to resolve your problem quickly, effectively and at an affordable price. Below are a few signs you need to call an electrician:
Flickering lights
This is common with older homes and typically happens when lights share the same circuit with appliances. The lights may flicker when the appliance is switched on and go back to normal once the appliance warms up. This may be a sign your electrical system needs an upgrade.
Blown light bulbs
Changing light bulbs should be a task you do rarely. If you find that you are changing blown light bulbs more than usual, it may be an indication of a serious electrical system problem that will only get worse. You may also notice that some lights are bright and others dim.
Be sure to check that the light bulb wattage is appropriate for the fixture before deciding that the electrical system is the problem.
Tripping Circuit Breaker
A circuit breaker tripping often is a sign that you are using more volts than the line can handle. This is also a common problem for older homes and may be time to upgrade your electrical system. Be sure to unplug your expensive appliances before resetting the breaker in case of power serge. Do not attempt to put anything in the circuit breaker to keep it on. This is a serious fire hazard. Call us and we will send a qualified contractor to diagnose and fix the problem.
Switches and Outlets Don’t Work
One or two switches or outlets going out every once in a long time is a fairly common problem. This happens mainly because of wear and tear. Replacing the switch or socket is a simple job but still a good decision to leave it to a licensed electrician especially if you are not confident that you can do it safely. If your switches and outlets are dying regularly or in quick succession, there is a good chance that your electrical system may need an upgrade, a job that is definitely best left to the professionals.
Our electrician guarantee that the electrical job is done safely is done well and is up to code. Our technicians are also able to suggest the best quality and most efficient replacements based on intimate knowledge and vast experience in this field.
Why Residential Electrical Inspection is Important
You don’t have to wait until you have an obvious electrical problem to call us for an inspection. In fact, as a homeowner, you should schedule an inspection of your homes’ electrical system every 5 years. For landlords, make sure a licensed professional inspects the system every time a tenant moves out even if 5 years haven’t elapsed.
Apart from the 5 year inspection, call us before
- Buying a home especially older homes more than 30 years old
- Selling your home
- Signing up for or switching home insurance companies
- Performing major renovation
Our licensed electrician goes through your entire home’s wiring for a thorough inspection. Next, he notes down any ESA code violations and additional safety recommendations and hands over the full report to you. The electrician then provides a firm quote for any repairs to be undertaken before work can begin.
Our electricians are well versed with the Canadian Electrical Code and other important regulations and requirements to guarantee a great service. We can also liaise with your insurance company if need be or provide you with the supporting documentation you need to switch insurance companies or to sign up to a new one.
