Electricians in Musidora, Alberta

Would you like to learn more in order to be better prepared for your electricity project?

Did you know?

In certain parts of Canada, several laws regulate commercial and residential renovation work, particularly with respect to electrical projects. This type of project is considered risky and as a result, for most electrical repairs or installations, the services of an electrician with the appropriate licenses are required.

If you decide to do the work yourself, not only will you not be entitled to the protections that are available when dealing with a contractor, but if there is a problem (fire, system failure), you may have problems to receive coverage from your insurance company.

What are the most common electricity problems?

In an article published on our home renovation blog (in French only for now), we talked about the most common problems that occur with regards to electricity. Here are a few:

- Short circuits

This type of problem can be caused by a multitude of factors. You have to find the source and make the repairs accordingly.

- The lack of power outlets

In many older homes, there are not enough outlets to meet our modern needs!

- Devices, sockets and appliances that emit heat or abnormal odours. This could indicate a wiring problem or equipment overload.

- The problems of circuit breakers

Sometimes, circuit breakers connected to the electrical panel will fail. It is then necessary to quickly make sure to repair them to avoid more serious problems.
