Your house was wired for
1978. You live in 2026.

Fuse boxes, split-bus panels and any panel with a known-defective brand of breaker are the single most common reason we get called. We replace the panel, the meter base if the utility requires it, and bring grounding and bonding up to current code — usually in one day, with power back on the same evening.

• ▸Load calculation to size the new service correctly
• ▸Utility disconnect/reconnect coordinated by us
• ▸New ground rods, water-bond and neutral separation
• ▸AFCI/GFCI breakers where code now requires them
• ▸Typed, legible circuit directory on the door
• ▸Permit, inspection and utility paperwork filed

TYPICAL RANGE // $2,400 – $4,600

Knob-and-tube, cloth-wrapped conductors and ungrounded two-wire circuits aren't just an insurance problem — they're a fire problem. We rewire occupied homes in stages so you keep power in the rooms you're using, and we fish through existing cavities wherever we can instead of opening every wall.

• ▸Room-by-room phasing so the house stays livable
• ▸Grounded receptacles throughout, code spacing
• ▸Dedicated circuits for kitchen, laundry, bath
• ▸Smoke/CO detector interconnect on its own circuit
• ▸Minimal-cut fishing; drywall patch coordinated
• ▸Insurance-ready certificate on completion

TYPICAL RANGE // $9,000 – $22,000

A Level 2 charger is a 240-volt appliance on a dedicated circuit, not a plug-in gadget. We run the calculation first: if your service can carry it, we install it. If it can't, we tell you before you buy hardware — and price the panel work honestly instead of hiding it in the charger quote.

• ▸NEC 220.87 load calculation before we quote
• ▸Hardwired or NEMA 14-50, 40A or 60A circuit
• ▸Load-management device if the service is tight
• ▸Detached-garage feeders and conduit trenching
• ▸Utility and manufacturer rebate paperwork filed
• ▸Charge-rate verified with your vehicle on site

TYPICAL RANGE // $850 – $2,300

Most "bad lighting" is really bad layout and mismatched colour temperature. We lay out recessed cans on a real spacing plan, keep every fixture in a room on one colour temperature and one dimming protocol, and specify drivers that actually dim to 5% instead of flickering out at 40%.

• ▸Recessed, cove, under-cabinet and pendant work
• ▸Colour temperature matched room by room
• ▸Dimmer/driver compatibility checked, not guessed
• ▸Three-way and smart-switch conversions
• ▸Exterior, soffit, path and security lighting
• ▸Insulation-contact rated cans in attic ceilings

TYPICAL RANGE // $180 per fixture · $1,900 avg room

A standby generator only helps if the transfer switch is sized and wired right. We handle the electrical side end to end — pad, feeders, automatic transfer switch, bonding — and coordinate the gas fitter so the unit is commissioned, load-tested and on an exercise schedule before we leave.

• ▸Whole-home or essential-circuits transfer switch
• ▸Sizing based on measured load, not sticker guesses
• ▸Composite pad, clearances and setback compliance
• ▸Gas line coordination with a licensed fitter
• ▸Full load test and weekly self-exercise setup
• ▸Portable-generator inlets and interlocks too

TYPICAL RANGE // $5,200 – $13,500 installed

Half the dead outlets we're called for are one loose back-stabbed connection or a tripped GFCI three rooms away. We diagnose with a meter and a thermal camera, show you the actual fault, and quote the fix before we make it. Diagnostic fee is credited against any repair you approve that visit.

• ▸Dead circuits, nuisance trips, flickering lights
• ▸Thermal imaging on panels and junction boxes
• ▸Open-neutral and shared-neutral fault tracing
• ▸Buried junction boxes located and made accessible
• ▸Written findings you can hand to an insurer
• ▸After-hours and weekend emergency response

TYPICAL RANGE // $149 diagnostic · credited to repair

Standard ceiling boxes are not rated to hold a fan — that's why fans wobble, then fall. We install a proper fan-rated brace box, add a switch leg if the room only has one, and hang chandeliers and two-storey foyer fixtures with the right lift and rigging instead of a borrowed ladder.

• ▸Fan-rated brace boxes installed from below
• ▸New switch legs for separate fan/light control
• ▸Sloped, vaulted and outdoor damp-rated mounts
• ▸Heavy chandeliers and high-foyer fixtures
• ▸Bath fan replacement with proper roof venting
• ▸Old fixture removal and disposal included

TYPICAL RANGE // $185 – $675 per unit

A power strip protects a lamp. It does nothing for the heat pump, the range or the well pump. A panel-mounted Type 2 device clamps the surge at the service entrance, where it actually enters — and costs less than one replaced control board.

• ▸Type 2 whole-home surge device at the panel
• ▸AFCI and GFCI protection brought to current code
• ▸Interconnected smoke and CO alarm systems
• ▸Tamper-resistant receptacles in child spaces
• ▸Grounding and bonding verification with readings
• ▸Aluminium branch-wiring remediation (AlumiConn)

TYPICAL RANGE // $340 – $780
