Electrical Safety Inspections
To make sure they are in good enough shape to keep being used, all systems should undergo routine inspections and testing. These kinds of safety checkups are referred to as "periodic inspection and testing." For your house, we perform electrical safety checks.
Electrical Panel Upgrades
Panels require replacement every few decades. You'll almost certainly need to renovate an older property. We choose the new panel's size and the number of circuits it will have. Until your panel is improved or replaced. We will coordinate every aspect of the work until your panel is improved or replaced.
Outlet Repairs
Adjusting connections and installing new receptacles are two common outlet repairs. We can either repair or replace your outlets.
Electrical Service Relocation
You may be planning to renovate your house or you may have acquired a property that has been modified in the past and now requires the relocation of the electrical system. We provide our service for system relocation.
Smart Home Features/Upgrades
You may be planning a home renovation or you may have purchased a property that has previously been changed and now requires the relocation of the electrical system. We can help you and relocate systems for you.
Aluminum Wiring
Aluminum wiring replacement does not necessitate rewiring the entire house. Frequently, the answer consists of a few simple fixes at the source of the problem. We replace aluminum receptacles, correct gaps and weakened connections, and secure copper and aluminum wiring. We also inspect connections and panels for the proper use and prevent hotspots caused by overheating aluminum wire.
Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Smoke detectors should be installed in all homes. And carbon monoxide detectors should be installed in any home that has fuel-burning equipment, such as a furnace, water heater, range, cooktop, or grill. We install them in your home and, if necessary, repair them.
Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting
We analyze malfunctioning internal circuits and take all required procedures to repair and maintain your electrical systems to determine what is wrong with them.
Home Automation
One of the most important advantages of home automation is that it protects your property. A home automation system will monitor and/or regulate lighting, temperature, entertainment systems, and appliances. Access control and alarm systems are examples of home security systems that may be incorporated. We create home automation systems.
Kitchen Lighting
Ambient lighting should be positioned in the centre of the kitchen as a general rule. To accomplish this, install recessed or flush mount kitchen ceiling lights. If you have an island, consider pendant lighting. We offer the installation and repair of kitchen lights.
Lighting Additions & Upgrades
Because of significant developments in lighting technology, upgrades to modern lighting systems are among the most cost-effective. Lighting system changes can range in complexity from replacing particular components to relighting or rebuilding entire rooms. These renovations are performed in your home by us.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
When a plugged-in object comes into contact with water or other forms of moisture, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are designed to cut power immediately. We install them or replace them as needed in your home.
Keep your home safe
We need to emphasize how critical it is to keep your household's system up to date. This also means that you shouldn't wait for an issue to emerge before acting.
Troubleshooting and Replacing Electrical Panel - before photo
The breaker panel is an excellent example. Circuit breakers mounted in the breaker panel protect all electrical equipment and wiring. The circuit breakers trip to shut off power to overloaded circuits and shorts, protecting you from possible fires. Panel protects the main power connection line and distributes the power to the rest of the house safely through properly sized circuit breakers.
Troubleshooting and Replacing Electrical Panel - after photo
All electrical work, including the installation of the breaker panel, must follow industry standards and regulations. As a result, it is critical to have it installed by a professional, as even a minor error might have disastrous consequences.
