Aluminum Wiring
Symptoms include warm to the touch faceplates, lights that flicker and strange noises or funny smells coming from the outlets or switches. It’s not always possible to determine if you have aluminum wiring without a professional. Many houses have had additional wiring over the years, tied in to the existing aluminum. A good place to start is to look at any exposed wires between the open floor joists in the basement, up in the attic, or at the service panel. [Read More]
Knob & Tube Removal
Expecting knob and tube wiring to handle a modern electrical load is like redirecting the traffic on Highway 401 onto a 2 lane dirt road. [Read More]
Surge Protection
Power surges are real, and are a real concern for you. You probably have greater than $8000 of sensitive electronics in your home. Continuous surging shortens the lifespan of your electronically controlled equipment like washers and dryers, microwaves, TV’s, audio equipment, air conditioners, etc. Surges are the main culprit behind 40% of all computer hard drive failures. Massive power surges can occur when cables coming into your home are hit by lightning. These can be electrical lines, phone lines, and cable/satellite lines. Minor power surges occur when big appliances that draw a lot of hydro like air conditioners, furnace fans and fridges cycle on and off. This happens about 5 – 20 times a day. That translates to an average of 4500 surges a year. [Read More]

Has your Insurance Company refused to renew your home insurance policy? Your home may be in need of a service panel upgrade. [Read More]
