What We Offer: Speed, Skill, and Satisfaction

Modern homes require robust electrical infrastructure to handle the increasing load of appliances, electric vehicles, and climate control systems. Rep-Air Heating and Cooling provides a comprehensive suite of electrical services designed to meet current energy demands while anticipating future needs. We move beyond simple patch jobs to ensure the longevity and safety of your electrical grid.

Electrical Panel Upgrades and Service Upgrades

The electrical panel is the heart of your home's power system. Many older homes in the area operate on 60-amp or 100-amp services that are insufficient for modern living. If you are noticing dimming lights when the refrigerator kicks on or if you simply have no room left in your breaker box for new circuits, a service upgrade is necessary. We facilitate upgrades to 200-amp service, replacing outdated fuse boxes or obsolete breaker panels with modern, safe, and high-capacity equipment. This service includes coordination with the utility provider to ensure the main service line is adequate for the new load.

Aluminum Wiring Remediation

Homes built between the mid-1960s and late 1970s often feature aluminum wiring. While conductive, aluminum expands and contracts more than copper, leading to loose connections, arcing, and fire risks over time. We offer complete remediation services. This does not always require ripping open walls to rewire the entire house. In many cases, we utilize "pig-tailing" techniques approved by safety codes, where copper connectors are securely attached to the aluminum ends, rendering the outlets and switches safe for use.

EV Charger Installation

As transportation electrifies, the demand for residential Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers has skyrocketed. Plugging a vehicle into a standard wall outlet (Level 1) is often too slow for daily commuters. We install dedicated Level 2 charging stations that significantly reduce charging time. This process involves calculating the load on your current panel to ensure it can handle the high amperage requirement of a fast charger, running dedicated conduit, and installing the charging unit in a convenient location in your garage or driveway.

Lighting Design and LED Retrofits

Lighting impacts both the aesthetics and energy efficiency of a home. We transition homes from inefficient incandescent or halogen fixtures to integrated LED solutions. This includes pot light installation for sleek, modern illumination, under-cabinet lighting for kitchens, and motion-sensor security lighting for exteriors. Properly designed lighting plans reduce energy consumption while increasing the usability of living spaces.

Dedicated Circuits for High-Draw Appliances

Modern appliances such as hot tubs, heat pumps, AC units, and high-end kitchen ranges require dedicated circuits to operate safely. Sharing these heavy loads on general lighting circuits leads to frequent tripping and overheating. We run new, dedicated lines from the main panel directly to the appliance, ensuring consistent power delivery without disrupting the rest of the home’s electrical system.

Surge Protection

Power surges from grid fluctuations or lightning can destroy sensitive electronics, smart appliances, and HVAC equipment in milliseconds. Whole-home surge protection is installed directly at the panel level. Unlike power strips that protect only plugged-in devices, a whole-home solution safeguards every circuit in the house, extending the lifespan of your appliances and protecting your investment.

Step-by-Step: Our Hassle-Free Electrical Service Process

We believe that professional electrical work should be transparent and structured. We do not rely on guesswork; we follow a rigorous protocol to ensure every job meets the highest safety standards.

Initial Consultation and Safety Inspection

First, a licensed electrician arrives at your property to discuss the issue or project. We perform a visual inspection of the relevant systems, checking the panel, wiring condition, and grounding. For troubleshooting calls, we utilize advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the exact location of faults within the walls or at the panel.

Detailed Proposal and Scope of Work

Next, we provide a clear explanation of the required work. You receive a detailed breakdown of the solution, including the materials needed, the timeline for completion, and the total cost. We explain why the work is necessary, distinguishing between urgent safety repairs and optional upgrades.

Permitting and Code Compliance

Before tools touch the wall for major projects, we handle the administrative side. Electrical work often requires permits to ensure compliance with local and provincial safety codes. We submit the necessary applications and schedule inspections as required by the municipality or Technical Safety BC.

Execution and Installation

The installation phase is conducted with minimal disruption to your daily routine. We use drop cloths and boot covers to protect your home. Our team works efficiently to run wiring, install fixtures, or upgrade panels. Power interruptions are kept to a minimum and are always communicated in advance.

Final Testing and Walkthrough

Finally, we do not leave until the system is tested under load. We verify that all circuits are grounded, polarity is correct, and safety devices (like GFCI and AFCI breakers) are functioning. We walk you through the work, showing you how to operate your new system and answering any questions about maintenance or warranty.

Repair vs Replace: Making the Right Choice for You

Homeowners often struggle to decide whether to repair a malfunctioning component or invest in a full replacement. Making the right decision depends on the age of the equipment, safety implications, and long-term cost efficiency.

When to Repair

• Isolated Outlet Failure: If a single outlet stops working due to a loose wire or internal spring failure, replacing the individual receptacle is usually sufficient.
• Single Circuit Issues: If one breaker trips occasionally due to a known overload (like running a hairdryer and space heater simultaneously), the solution may be load management or moving a device, rather than replacing the panel.
• Fixture Malfunctions: If a light fixture flickers, it may simply need a new bulb or a ballast replacement (in older fluorescent units) rather than a full rewiring.

When to Replace

• Panel Age and Brand: If your home still utilizes a fuse box, or if you have a panel brand known for safety failures (such as Federal Pacific or Zinsco), immediate replacement is recommended regardless of current performance. These older systems often fail to trip during surges, leading to fire risks.
• recurring Breaker Trips: If breakers trip constantly without a clear overload, or if the breakers feel hot to the touch, the panel bus bar may be damaged. In this scenario, replacement is safer and more cost-effective than repeated service calls.
• Lack of Grounding: Two-prong outlets indicate a lack of grounding wire. While you can install GFCI outlets as a band-aid solution, rewiring the home or running new grounded circuits is the only way to protect modern sensitive electronics effectively.
• Renovation Plans: If you are planning a kitchen remodel, adding a suite, or installing a heat pump, an old 100-amp panel will likely throttle your plans. Upgrading to a 200-amp panel beforehand prevents capacity bottlenecks.

Adhering to BC's Standards and Seasonal Considerations

Electrical work in British Columbia is governed by strict regulations designed to ensure public safety in our specific environmental conditions. Rep-Air Heating and Cooling strictly adheres to the Canadian Electrical Code and local municipal bylaws.

Permits and Inspections

In Langley and across BC, unauthorized electrical work is a liability. It can void home insurance policies and creates severe safety risks. Any work involving the main service, new circuits, or structural wiring changes generally requires a permit. We manage this process entirely. We ensure that the work passes inspection by Technical Safety BC or the local municipal authority, providing you with documentation that verifies the work was done legally and safely.

BC Hydro Coordination

Projects involving service upgrades or meter relocation require close coordination with BC Hydro. We manage the logistics of scheduling the power disconnect and reconnect. This ensures that the downtime is minimized—usually to a single day—so you aren't left without power overnight during an upgrade.

Weather and Seasonality

The Pacific Northwest climate impacts electrical systems. High moisture levels require robust outdoor electrical solutions. We ensure that all exterior outlets are GFCI protected and equipped with "in-use" weather-resistant covers to prevent moisture ingress that causes nuisance tripping. Furthermore, with the increasing frequency of storms, standby generator connections and transfer switches are becoming essential for homeowners who want to maintain power during grid outages.

Energy Efficiency and CleanBC

The province is pushing toward electrification to reduce carbon emissions. This includes incentives for switching from fossil fuels to electric heat pumps and installing EV chargers. Our electrical services support these initiatives. We ensure your home has the electrical capacity to handle these green technologies, helping you take advantage of available rebates while reducing your carbon footprint.
