FAQs
What types of electrical repairs do you handle in Thorn Hill?
Our team tackles everything from simple outlet or switch replacements to complex rewiring projects. Common jobs include circuit-breaker troubleshooting, lighting fixture repairs, GFCI outlet installation, surge-protection setup, panel upgrades, ceiling-fan wiring, and fault finding for tripped breakers or flickering lights. If it carries current in a home or small business, we can diagnose and repair it safely.
How quickly can you respond to an electrical emergency?
We maintain an on-call technician roster for Thorn Hill 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For urgent hazards such as sparking panels, burning smells, or complete power loss, a licensed electrician can usually be at your door within 60–90 minutes, traffic and weather permitting. Non-emergency repairs are scheduled at your convenience, often the same or next business day.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
Yes. Every technician who works on your property holds a valid Ontario 309A Construction & Maintenance Electrician licence and completes annual safety refreshers. Our company also carries $5 million in liability insurance and full WSIB coverage, so you’re protected against accidental damage or injuries that might occur on site.
Do you provide upfront pricing for repairs?
Absolutely. After a thorough on-site inspection we present a written quote that lists parts, labour, and HST. The price you approve is the price you pay—no hidden travel fees or “overtime” add-ons. If additional issues are uncovered while we’re working, we stop, explain the findings, and get your authorization before proceeding.
Can you help upgrade my old fuse box to a modern breaker panel?
Yes. We specialize in fuse-to-breaker conversions, typically moving customers from 60 A or 100 A fuse panels to 100 A or 200 A CSA-approved breaker panels. The service includes load calculations, coordination with the local utility for disconnect/reconnect, new grounding and bonding conductors, ESA permitting, and a final inspection certificate you can provide to your insurance company.
What safety measures do you follow while performing repairs in occupied homes?
Safety begins with de-energizing the affected circuit and verifying zero voltage before any work starts. We use insulated tools, lockout/tagout devices, and Class E hard hats. Drop cloths, boot covers, and vacuum cleanup protect your property. All work meets or exceeds the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, and every repair is function-tested before the circuit is re-energized.
