Immediate Electrical Solutions: What's Included

When you encounter an electrical issue, the immediate concern is safety and restoring functionality. Electrical problems rarely improve on their own and often indicate underlying issues within your home's wiring or panel. A professional assessment identifies the root cause rather than just treating the symptom.

Our service approach begins with a comprehensive diagnostic phase. Before any tools are applied to the repair, we ensure we understand the load calculations and circuit integrity of your specific system. This is crucial in areas like Yennadon, where older housing stock may still rely on outdated wiring standards that struggle to keep up with modern appliances.

We address a wide variety of immediate electrical needs, including:

• Circuit Breaker Tripping: Identifying whether the issue is an appliance overload, a short circuit, or a ground fault.
• Outlet Failures: Replacing non-functioning outlets, particularly GFCIs in kitchens and bathrooms that are prone to moisture exposure.
• Lighting Malfunctions: Repairing flickering fixtures, buzzing switches, or dimmer failures that suggest loose connections or arcing.
• Emergency Wiring Repair: Securing exposed or damaged wiring caused by renovation accidents, pests, or wear and tear.

Services Offered: From Inspections to Installations

Electrical work covers a broad spectrum of services, ranging from minor safety inspections to full-scale system overhauls. Whether you are upgrading your home to handle new technology or ensuring your current system meets insurance requirements, professional intervention is non-negotiable.

Electrical Panel Upgrades and Replacements

The electrical panel is the heart of your home's power distribution. Many older homes operate on 60-amp or 100-amp service, which is often insufficient for modern households running HVAC systems, electric vehicles, and high-efficiency appliances. Upgrading to a 200-amp panel ensures you have the capacity to run all devices simultaneously without the risk of overheating or constant tripping. This service includes labeling circuits, installing main breakers, and ensuring proper grounding — apply for financing today.

Lighting Design and Installation

Proper lighting transforms the functionality of a space. We handle the installation of recessed lighting (pot lights) which reduces visual clutter and provides even illumination. We also specialize in under-cabinet lighting for kitchens, motion-sensor security lights for exteriors, and chandelier installations for high ceilings. In Yennadon's darker winter months, exterior landscape lighting is also a critical service for safety and curb appeal.

Rewiring and Wiring Upgrades

If your home contains aluminum wiring or knob-and-tube wiring, you face a higher risk of fire hazards and insurance complications. We provide partial or complete home rewiring services. This involves replacing old, ungrounded conductors with modern copper wiring, ensuring every outlet is grounded and every switch meets current Technical Safety BC codes.

EV Charger Installation

As electric vehicle adoption grows, the need for Level 2 home charging stations increases. Plugging into a standard wall outlet is slow and inefficient. We install dedicated 240-volt circuits directly from your panel to your garage or driveway, allowing for rapid charging. This process includes load calculation to ensure your current service ampacity can handle the additional draw.

Surge Protection

Modern homes are filled with sensitive electronics, from smart refrigerators to computers. A whole-home surge protector creates a barrier at the main panel, diverting excess voltage away from your circuits during power spikes or lightning storms. This protects your expensive investments from frying instantly.

Your Electrical Service Journey

Understanding the process helps eliminate the stress associated with home repairs. We follow a strict protocol to ensure efficiency, safety, and clear communication from start to finish.

• Initial Consultation and Dispatch:
• The process begins when you request service. We gather details about the symptoms you are experiencing to dispatch the correctly equipped technician.
• We provide a clear arrival window so you aren't stuck waiting all day.
• On-Site Safety Inspection and Diagnosis:
• Upon arrival, the electrician conducts a visual inspection of the affected area and the main panel.
• Testing equipment is used to check voltage levels, continuity, and resistance to pinpoint the exact failure point.
• We identify any code violations that must be addressed to complete the work safely.
• Upfront Pricing and Approval:
• Before work begins, you receive a detailed quote — check current promotions.
• We explain the scope of work so you understand exactly what you are paying for.
• Work only commences once you give your approval.
• Execution and Installation:
• The technician performs the repair or installation using high-quality, code-compliant materials.
• We maintain a clean workspace, using drop cloths and shoe covers to protect your home.
• Complex jobs, such as panel changes, may require coordination with the local utility provider for temporary power disconnection.
• Final Testing and Walkthrough:
• We test the new installation under load to ensure stability.
• A final walkthrough allows you to see the work, test switches, and ask any operating questions.
• We leave the area as clean as we found it.
  • Isolated Component Failure: If a single switch breaks or one outlet stops working due to physical damage, a simple replacement is sufficient.
  • Recent Wiring: If your home was wired in the last 20 years and meets modern grounding standards, repairs are usually straightforward.
  • Loose Connections: Often, lights flicker simply because a wire nut is loose. Tightening connections resolves the issue without the need for new parts.
  
  
  • Recurring Issues: If you are constantly resetting breakers or changing fuses, your panel is likely overloaded and needs replacement.
  • Aluminum Wiring: prevalent in homes built between the mid-60s and mid-70s, aluminum wiring expands and contracts differently than copper, leading to loose connections and fire risks. "Pigtailing" repairs are a stopgap; rewiring is the permanent solution.
  • Ungrounded Outlets: Two-prong outlets indicate a lack of grounding. Using adapters is unsafe for modern electronics. Replacing the wiring to accommodate three-prong grounded outlets is essential for safety.
  • Renovations: If you are remodeling a kitchen or bathroom, current codes require dedicated circuits for microwaves, fridges, and GFCIs. Old wiring schemes rarely support these requirements.
  • Visible Damage: If you see scorch marks on your panel, smell burning plastic, or hear buzzing sounds, immediate replacement of the affected components is critical to prevent fire.
  
  
  • We handle the entire permitting process on your behalf.
  • A permit ensures that the work is logged and subject to inspection by Technical Safety BC or local municipal inspectors.
  • Unpermitted work can void your home insurance policy and create significant hurdles if you ever decide to sell your property.
  
  
  • Moisture Protection: High rainfall from late fall to early spring means outdoor outlets and wiring must be impeccably sealed. We use weather-resistant (WR) receptacles and "in-use" covers that protect plugs even when something is plugged in.
  • Summer Loads: While summers are drier, they can be warm. The increased use of portable or central air conditioning units puts a heavy strain on older electrical panels. We ensure your system can handle the peak summer load without tripping.
  • Backup Power: The combination of winter storms and occasional snowfall can lead to localized power outages. Installing a transfer switch for a portable generator or a permanent standby generator ensures your heating and refrigeration systems stay running during utility interruptions.
  
  
  • Licensed and Bonded: Every technician we dispatch is fully certified and trained on the latest Canadian Electrical Code updates. We carry full liability insurance to protect your property.
  • Safety First Culture: We do not take shortcuts. From using the correct gauge of wire to ensuring proper torque on breaker connections, every step is taken to prevent future failures.
  • Well-Stocked Fleet: Our trucks are stocked with common parts, breakers, and outlets. This efficiency allows us to complete most repairs on the first visit, saving you time and money.
  • Comprehensive Diagnostics: We don't just guess. We use advanced multimeters and circuit analyzers to get definitive answers before proposing a solution.
  • Respect for Your Home: We treat your property with care. Our technicians wear boot covers, use drop cloths, and clean up all wire strippings and debris before leaving.

Choosing Between Repairing or Replacing Your Electrical System

Deciding whether to repair a specific component or upgrade the entire system is a common dilemma for homeowners. While repairs are often cheaper upfront, they can be a temporary fix for a systemic problem. Rep-Air Heating and Cooling helps you evaluate the long-term viability of your electrical infrastructure.

When to Repair

Repairing is the logical choice when the issue is isolated and the surrounding system is in good health.

When to Replace

Replacement becomes necessary when the system is obsolete, dangerous, or incapable of meeting demand.
