Electrician Duncan

Electricians in Duncan must adhere to the BC Electrical Code, which adopts and amends the Canadian Electrical Code with provincial-specific requirements to ensure safety in wiring methods, grounding, bonding, and overcurrent protection. Compliance encompasses obtaining the proper permits for electrical installations and upgrades, adhering to code regulations for residential and commercial wiring, and utilizing approved materials and methods. Our electricians are well-informed on the regional area's electrical code and will ensure complete compliance and safety.

Licensed electricians in Duncan ensure that all electrical work complies with the BC Electrical Code and local safety standards, thereby preventing hazards such as electrical fires and shocks. Unlicensed electrical work significantly increases the risk of accidents and insurance claim denials, according to reports from the BC Safety Authority. When you hire our professionals, feel free to verify our electricians' licenses on the BC Safety Authority website.

We recommend having a professional electrical inspection conducted every 3 to 5 years, or more frequently if you notice issues such as flickering lights or circuit breaker trips. Regular inspections can help identify outdated wiring or overloaded systems, especially in older homes, which are common in the Duncan area, allowing you to address repairs before they become too costly. Schedule an inspection before buying a home or after any major renovation to ensure electrical safety and code compliance.

When selecting the ideal EV charger for your needs, choose one that matches your vehicle’s charging capacity, your daily driving requirements, and your home's electrical system’s capabilities. Level 2 chargers are the most popular option for residential use. In fact, according to Natural Resources Canada, Level 2 chargers can reduce charging time by up to 75% compared to Level 1 chargers.

Contact our licensed electricians today and have them assess your electrical panel to determine its capacity. This way, we can determine the optimal charging station for you.

It's crucial to have GFCI outlets in your home because they protect you against electrical shocks by quickly shutting off power in damp areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. The BC Electrical Code mandates GFCI protection in specified areas to reduce the risk of electrocution. Alongside installation, it's a good idea to test GFCI outlets monthly to ensure they’re functioning properly, especially in Duncan’s wet climate.

The best way to protect your home from power surges is to install surge protection devices. These will help shield your home’s electrical system and appliances from damage caused by voltage spikes during storms. Power surges cause over 60% of electrical equipment damage in residential settings. That's why we're committed to offering you a seamless surge protector installation process for optimal protection. For especially sensitive electronics, consider combining whole-home surge protectors with point-of-use surge protection.

Our professionals recommend installing a home backup generator if you are ever concerned about the safety and security of your home. A generator can help keep the lights on during a storm, maintain your security systems, and ensure your family feels safe and secure.
