Good troubleshooting is methodical. Rather than swapping parts and hoping, we test circuits, check connections and trace the problem back to its source. That might be a failed receptacle, a loose connection in a box upstream, an overloaded circuit, a damaged cable or a breaker that is no longer holding.
We repair and replace outlets and switches, install GFCI and AFCI protection where it is needed, restore power to circuits that have gone dead and correct wiring left behind by previous do-it-yourself work. When a repair reveals a bigger issue, we explain it plainly and give you options.
If you notice a burning smell, scorch marks, sparking or a receptacle that is hot to the touch, turn off the affected circuit at the panel and call us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Common causes are an overloaded circuit, a short or ground fault, a failing appliance or a worn breaker. Testing tells us which it is.
Half my outlets stopped working — what happened?
Often a GFCI device elsewhere has tripped, or a loose connection upstream has failed. We trace the circuit to find where power stops.
Is a warm outlet dangerous?
An outlet that is noticeably warm indicates a problem such as a loose connection or overload. Stop using it and have it checked.
Do you repair commercial electrical problems?
Yes. We repair lighting, receptacles and circuits for offices, retail and commercial units in Stouffville.
