Potlight Installation in Oakville

The cost for an electrical contractor to fix existing or ongoing electrical problems in your house varies drastically based on a wide range of issues.

There are several factors at play, including:

• The size of your home
• Severity of the problem
• A technician's diagnosis, following a thorough inspection

Providing a hard estimate is difficult without knowing any of the above.

However, we do recommend that if you are concerned about electrical problems in your home, you call in a professional to take a look; it is NOT advisable to delay or leave the problem because of worries about price. Ignoring electrical problems could lead to much more dangerous issues down the road.

If water has made its way into an electrical outlet in your home, turn off the breaker and search for the cause.

See if it's a major or minor amount of water - for example, is it just a one-off issue? Or has a pipe burst or started leaking?

Determining the cause of the problem will help you know who to call, as you may also need a plumber in the event the issue is related to your home's pipes.

Once you know the cause of the problem, give us a call at 647-931-2917 or book a home electrical service online today.

To fix a tripped circuit breaker, switch the breaker fully off and on.

A lack of voltage may be an issue with your hydro provider, or it may be due to loose wiring in the home.

We recommend calling your hydro provider first to determine if the problem is on their end. If not, call us at 647-931-2917.

An electrical wall outlet may stop working due to an issue with the breaker. It may also be a result of a broken GCFI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet.

The wire inside may also have disconnected.

It's best to leave finding the cause to a professional who can diagnose the issue and fix it safely.

This issue is likely due to a bad breaker.

If this has happened in your home and it's time for a replacement circuit breaker, call us at 647-931-2917 or book a home electrical service online today.

If your home is on aluminum electrical wiring, you should call an electrical contractor to replace it right away.

Aluminum wiring is not safe, and most insurance companies will no longer allow for coverage of homes that still use it.

If your home is on knob & tube wiring, you might want to consider upgrading to a more modern system.

Professional electricians take pride in their work.

One good example: if the breaker box in a house isn't square, but instead appears crooked or shoddily placed on the wall, it's likely the home's electrical work was not done by a professional or certified contractor.

Copper wiring will last a very long time.

Aluminum, however, will last around 20 years, and should be replaced at that point.

No, not yourself; never attempt to move or remove old wiring yourself.

A certified electrical contractor should be dispatched to inspect it themselves and confirm that it is, in fact, unused. Attempting to do so yourself is not safe and could result in severe injury or even death.
