The Core of the Evaluation: What Our St. Albert Electricians Examine

Our certified electricians conduct a detailed examination of every accessible part of your home's electrical system, both inside and out. We leave no stone unturned to identify potential issues and ensure everything is working as it should for St. Albert residents. This includes a thorough troubleshooting and diagnostics approach to identify any underlying problems.

  • Electrical Panel Check: The heart of your home's power. We assess the amperage, check circuit breakers for proper sizing and function, check for secure and corrosion-free wiring connections, ensure correct labelling, and verify the presence and operation of crucial safety devices like AFCIS and GFCIS.

  • Wiring evaluation: The lifeline of your electricity. We examine all visible wiring for damage, wear, and improper installation. We identify potentially hazardous outdated wiring types common in older St. Albert homes and ensure proper securing and protection of wires.

  • Outlets and Switches Testing: Your connection points. We test outlets and switches for correct function and safety, ensuring proper grounding and polarity. We also look for loose connections or signs of damage.

  • Lighting Fixture Assessment: Illuminating safely. We check for correct installation and wiring of all light fixtures, ensure appropriate wattage to prevent overheating, and look for any damage or loose connections.

  • Appliance Connection Review: Powering your life safely. We assess the electrical connections of major appliances to ensure they meet safety standards and manufacturer specs, checking for proper grounding and dedicated circuits.

  • Safety Device Verification: Your first line of defence. We test all smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure they are working, within their expiry dates, and correctly placed in your St. Albert home.

  • Exterior Electrical System Check: Extending beyond your walls. We check outdoor outlets, wiring, and lighting for weather resistance and safe installation. For St. Albert homes with pools or hot tubs, we pay close attention to grounding and GFCI protection.
