What You Get Today: Comprehensive Electrical Solutions

When you schedule an electrical service with Rep-Air Heating and Cooling, you require more than just a quick fix—you need a long-term solution that accounts for the modern energy demands of your home. Electrical systems in British Columbia face unique loads due to electric heating, air conditioning, and the increasing adoption of electric vehicles. A professional service visit addresses immediate faults while evaluating the overall health of your system.

Electrical Panel Upgrades and Service

The electrical panel is the heart of your home’s energy distribution. Many older homes in Clearbrook still operate on 60-amp or 100-amp service, which is often insufficient for modern appliances.

1. Service Mast and Meter Repair: We inspect and repair the connection point between your home and the utility lines, ensuring components remain secure and watertight.
2. Breaker Replacement: Faulty breakers are replaced with new, reliable components to prevent ongoing tripping issues.
3. Amperage Increases: Upgrading to 200-amp service enables safe operation of high-demand appliances such as hot tubs, heat pumps, and induction stoves.

Wiring and Rewiring

Outdated wiring poses significant fire risks. Rep-Air Heating and Cooling specializes in identifying and mitigating these hazards.

1. Aluminum Wiring Remediation: We inspect aluminum wiring, install CSA-approved connectors (“pigtailing”), or perform complete rewiring for safer copper connections.
2. Knob and Tube Replacement: For heritage homes, we remove obsolete wiring and install modern grounded Romex that meets insurance and code requirements.
3. Grounding and Bonding: Proper grounding prevents shocks and ensures a safe electrical system throughout your home.

Lighting and Device Installation

Modernizing your lighting reduces energy consumption and improves aesthetics.

1. LED Retrofits: Replace outdated fixtures with high-efficiency LED lighting to reduce BC Hydro costs.
2. Smart Home Integration: Install smart switches, dimmers, and thermostats for remote control convenience.
3. GFCI and AFCI Protection: Install code-required protection devices that drastically reduce shock and fire risks.

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Installation

As EV adoption grows in BC, dedicated home charging becomes a necessity.

1. Level 2 Charger Installation: We install dedicated 240-volt circuits for faster charging across all major EV brands.
2. Load Management: If panel capacity is limited, we add energy management systems that balance household and vehicle energy demand safely.

The Electrical Service Process

Understanding how a professional electrical project unfolds helps eliminate the stress of the unknown. Rep-Air Heating and Cooling follows a rigorous, safety-first protocol for every job—whether repairing an outlet or installing a whole-home generator.

1. Initial Assessment and Diagnosis: A licensed electrician conducts a visual inspection and uses tools like thermal imaging and multimeters to identify root causes.
2. Transparent Quotation: You receive an upfront, detailed breakdown with no hidden fees.
3. Permitting and Planning: We manage all required permits with Technical Safety BC and municipal authorities to ensure compliance.
4. Execution and Safety Protocols: Work areas are protected, circuits are safely de-energized, and high-grade materials are used throughout.
5. Testing and Verification: We verify voltage, grounding, labeling, and system reliability before completion.
6. Final Walkthrough: We explain all completed work, demonstrate new devices, and review warranty details.

Repair vs. Upgrade: Making the Right Decision

Homeowners often struggle to determine whether a simple repair will do or if a system upgrade is necessary. Electrical components age, safety standards evolve, and energy demand continues to grow.

When to Repair

Choose repair when the issue is localized, isolated, and the surrounding infrastructure remains healthy.

1. Loose outlets requiring replacement
2. Single circuits overloaded due to user error
3. Rapid bulb burnouts requiring fixture-level diagnosis

When to Upgrade or Replace

Upgrade when your system is outdated, unsafe, or unable to support modern electrical loads.

1. Electrical panels that buzz, overheat, or emit burning odors
2. Two-prong outlets lacking grounding protection
3. Renovations requiring increased amperage
4. Fuse boxes no longer accepted by insurers
