Frequently Asked Questions

I tried a DIY fix on an outlet and now it's sparking. Is this an emergency, and can you help?

Yes, sparking is a serious safety hazard and should be addressed immediately. In Halifax, we often see issues from improper DIY repairs that can lead to fires or further damage. Please turn off power to that circuit at your breaker panel and call us right away. We'll safely diagnose and repair the faulty outlet, wiring, or switch to ensure your home is protected and up to code.

My outdoor electrical meter looks corroded. What should I do, and is this covered in an inspection?

Corrosion on your electrical meter or meter base is common in our coastal New England climate and is a serious concern. It can lead to power flickers, outages, or even a fire hazard. We recommend a professional electric inspection. During an inspection, we thoroughly check the meter base, service entrance, and your entire panel for corrosion and other safety issues, providing a clear report and the necessary repairs to keep your Halifax home safe.

I need more power for a new appliance, but my breaker keeps tripping. Can you upgrade my panel safely?

Absolutely. A frequently tripping breaker often indicates an overloaded panel, which is a common issue in older Halifax homes. We specialize in safe electric panel installation and upgrades. We'll assess your current system's capacity, discuss your needs (like adding an EV charger or generator), and install a new, properly sized panel with modern circuit breakers. This resolves the immediate tripping and provides safe, reliable power for years to come.
