American Electric - Ottawa's Qualified Electrical Repair

Our comprehensive electrical inspections use specialized equipment to detect irregularities in your system's performance that often indicate underground cable damage—a common issue in our area. We can pinpoint the location and severity of the damage without unnecessary digging, allowing for a targeted and efficient repair that restores your power and prevents future outages.

GFCI outlets in Ottawa can fail due to age, moisture, or power surges from our local grid. A key part of our electrical inspection is testing every GFCI outlet in your home—especially in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoors—to ensure they trip correctly. If a failure is detected, we can quickly replace the outlet to restore its life-saving shock protection, keeping your family safe.

If you notice flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, or partial power loss—common signs of underground cable problems—contact us immediately. We can often perform a priority diagnostic. In the meantime, avoid using the affected circuits to prevent further damage or a safety hazard. Our team is familiar with Ottawa's soil and infrastructure, helping us diagnose and resolve these local issues efficiently.
