Repairs done right
Find the actual fault — and fix it once
Most ‘mystery’ electrical problems aren't mysterious — they're hidden. A scorched neutral in a junction box, an over-loaded shared circuit, a failing breaker that trips ‘randomly,’ a downstream outlet wired through a GFCI nobody can find. We track them down with proper tools and clear method.
We handle dead outlets, breaker trips, flickering lights, burning smells, buzzing panels, scorched plugs, knob-and-tube repairs, aluminum wiring remediation, and emergency repairs after water damage or rodent intrusion.
Every repair is led by a Certified BC Master Electrician — diagnosed, repaired and tested before we leave.

FAQ
Electrical repairs, answered
How quickly can you come out?+
For urgent issues — burning smell, sparks, dead panel — we respond 24/7 across Metro Vancouver. For non-urgent repairs we typically have same-week availability.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?+
Breakers trip because they're doing their job — overload, short circuit or ground fault. We trace the cause rather than just resetting it. Repeatedly resetting a tripping breaker is how electrical fires start.
Can you repair knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring?+
Yes. We make code-compliant repairs and can plan staged replacement so you can insure and renovate the home properly.
Do you charge a diagnostic fee?+
Yes — a flat diagnostic fee covers the trip and the time to find the actual fault. If you proceed with the repair, we credit it where applicable.
