Most repair calls we get from Richmond Hill homeowners start with something small: a row of outlets that stopped working, a switch that sparks, lights that flicker when the furnace turns on. Small symptoms can point to a loose connection, a failed device or an overloaded circuit, and tracking the cause down is the important part.
We test circuits, outlets and connections with proper equipment, explain what we've found in plain terms, and fix the problem at its source. That might mean replacing a receptacle or switch, tightening and remaking connections, separating an overloaded circuit, or replacing a worn breaker.
We also install and replace outlets and switches — including GFCI outlets for kitchens, bathrooms and exteriors, USB outlets, and dimmer and smart switches.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Usually because the circuit is overloaded, a device or appliance has a fault, or the breaker itself is worn. Testing tells us which one.
Is a warm outlet dangerous?
A warm or discoloured outlet often means a poor connection and should be checked soon. Stop using it until it's inspected.
Can you add outlets to a room?
Yes. We add outlets where you need them, including kitchen counters, home offices and exterior walls.
Do you handle commercial repairs?
Yes. We troubleshoot and repair power and lighting problems in offices, stores and other commercial properties.
