FAQs
What modern electrical outlet options do you offer in Thorn Hill?
We supply and install a full range of contemporary outlets, including tamper-resistant receptacles, built-in USB/USB-C charging outlets, smart Wi-Fiâenabled outlets, screw-less decorative faceplates, and specialty GFCI/AFCI protection devices that meet current Ontario Electrical Code requirements.
Can I upgrade existing plugs to USB or USB-C outlets without rewiring my home?
Yes. In most cases we can replace a standard duplex receptacle with a combination 120 V + USB/USB-C outlet using the existing wiring and electrical box. The job typically takes 15â30 minutes per outlet, provided the circuit and box are up to code and have sufficient capacity.
Do smart outlets work with voice assistants like Alexa or Google Home?
Absolutely. Our smart Wi-Fi or Zigbee/Z-Wave outlets integrate seamlessly with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. After installation we help you connect the outlet to your home network and demonstrate how to create schedules, energy-use reports, and voice commands.
Are GFCI outlets required in kitchens and bathrooms in Thorn Hill?
Yes. The Ontario Electrical Safety Code mandates ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) protection for receptacles within 1.5 m of sinks, tubs, or other water sources. We install weather-resistant GFCIs in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, exterior locations, and laundry areas to keep your home compliant and safe.
How long does a typical outlet installation or upgrade take?
A standard swap (e.g., decor-style or USB outlet) usually takes under 30 minutes. Installing a new outlet in an existing wall cavity averages 1â2 hours, depending on wire routing and drywall access. Adding a new circuit from the panel may take half a day. We provide precise time estimates during our on-site assessment.
Do you pull permits and arrange ESA inspections?
Yes. For any work that requires a permit in Thorn Hill, we handle the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) notification, pay the associated fees, and schedule the inspection. Once the ESA issues a Certificate of Acceptance, youâll have documented proof that your outlet upgrades meet provincial safety standards.
