FAQ

Some common questions about General Service

Do you handle both homes and businesses for repairs?

Yes, we cover general electrical service and maintenance for residential, cottages, and small commercial properties across our service area.

Should I be worried about my old fuse panel or knob-and-tube wiring?

It's worth an assessment. Older systems can be a safety and insurance concern, and we can advise whether an upgrade makes sense for your home.

Why do my lights flicker?

Flickering can point to a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or an aging panel. It's worth checking — sometimes it's minor, sometimes it's an early warning. We'll diagnose the real cause.

Why does my breaker keep tripping?

Usually an overloaded circuit or a fault somewhere on the line. Rather than just resetting it, we track down the source and fix it safely.

Are my outlets supposed to feel warm?

No — warm or discoloured outlets are a red flag and worth looking at promptly. It can signal a wiring or connection issue that's a safety concern.

Can you replace old or ungrounded outlets?

Yes, including upgrading to GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas where code requires them.

Do you install ceiling fans, light fixtures, and pot lights?

We do — supply-and-install or installing fixtures you've already bought, done safely and cleanly.

Still not sure what your property needs?
