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

What should I do if water gets into an electrical outlet?
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 905-346-3507 or book a home electrical service online today.

I’m not getting enough voltage in my house. What’s the cause?
A lack of voltage may be an issue with your hydro provider, or it may be due to loose wiring in the home.

What causes an electrical wall outlet to stop working?
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.

How do I know when it’s time to replace my electrical wiring?
If your home is on aluminum electrical wiring, you should call an electrical contractor to replace it right away.

What are signs that electrical work was done by an amateur?
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.
How long does a home’s electrical wiring last?
Copper wiring will last a very long time.
Aluminum, however, will last around 20 years, and should be replaced at that point.
Can I (and should I) remove old unused electrical wiring?
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.
