Electrical fault finding and repairs in Kitchener

No guesswork
The electrician tests the circuit instead of replacing parts on a hunch. Once the cause is clear you are told what it is, what fixing it involves and what it costs. Common repairs are usually finished at the same appointment.

Questions about fault finding and repairs
Half my outlets stopped working at once. What happened?
Usually one connection has failed and everything after it on the circuit has lost power. A tripped GFCI outlet can do the same. Testing finds the point where the power stops.
Why does my breaker trip when I use the microwave?
The circuit is probably carrying too much. Kitchens in older homes often have fewer circuits than modern appliances need. The fix may be a new dedicated circuit.
Is an assessment worth it for a small fault?
Yes. Small faults are quick to diagnose, and some of them, such as warm outlets and flickering lights, are early signs of something more serious.
