Noticing any of these? It's time to call an electrician.
Flickering or dimming lights
Often a sign of a loose connection or an overloaded circuit — both fire risks if ignored.
Breakers that keep tripping
Repeated tripping means a circuit is overloaded, shorting out, or the breaker itself has failed.
Warm outlets or burning smell
Stop using the outlet immediately. This is one of the top causes of residential electrical fires.
Older 60A or 100A panel
Modern homes need 200A. Insurance now flags older panels as a high-risk liability.
Buzzing or sparking outlets
Always abnormal. Could be arcing inside the wall — call us before plugging anything else in.
Knob-and-tube / Aluminum
Common in older Vancouver homes. Insurance often requires removal — we handle the full upgrade.

"Quoted me a fair price for a 200A upgrade, showed up on time, and pulled the permit himself. Inspector signed off same day. Couldn't ask for more."
"Installed a Tesla wall charger and helped us with the BC Hydro rebate paperwork. Tidy install, ran the wiring exactly where we wanted it. Highly recommend."
