- GFCI outlet repairs and replacements (kitchen, bathroom, outdoor circuits)
- Breaker trips & tripping circuits (overloads, short circuits, ground faults)
- Flickering or dimming lights (loose neutrals, bad switches, fixture issues)
- Partial power loss (some rooms out, half the house out, dead circuits)
- Electrical panel troubleshooting (failing breakers, overheating, poor connections)
- Wiring problems (damaged conductors, loose terminations, unsafe splices)
- Lighting repairs (fixtures, pot lights, outdoor lighting, dimmer issues)
- Commercial electrical repairs (offices, retail, restaurants, and multi-unit buildings)
If you’re unsure what’s happening, we’ll troubleshoot and explain your options clearly before any work starts.
Electrical Emergency Signs — Call an Electrician Now
Some problems are urgent because they can lead to electrical fire or shock hazards. Stop using the affected circuit and call an electrician immediately if you notice:
- Burning smell, smoke, or scorch marks near an outlet/switch/panel
- Sparks from outlets, switches, or the electrical panel
- Warm or hot outlets/switch plates
- Buzzing, crackling, or popping sounds from outlets or the panel
- Repeated breaker trips (especially right after resetting)
- Lights that flicker heavily or dim when appliances turn on

If someone has received an electrical shock, seek medical help if needed and have the circuit inspected before using it again.

Ottawa Electrical Repair FAQs
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Burning smells, sparks, hot outlets/switch plates, buzzing panels, smoke, and repeated breaker trips are urgent. Turn off the affected circuit (if safe) and contact an electrician.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Common causes include circuit overloads, short circuits, ground faults, or a failing breaker. The right fix depends on testing—resetting repeatedly can be unsafe.
Why do my lights flicker in one room?
It could be a loose bulb or fixture, but persistent flickering often points to loose wiring connections, a failing switch/dimmer, or a circuit issue that needs diagnosis.
What causes partial power loss in the home?
Loose neutral connections, breaker problems, or a failing connection at the panel can cause some circuits to go dead. This should be inspected quickly.
Are warm outlets dangerous?
Yes—warm or hot outlets can indicate overloaded wiring, loose connections, or arcing. Stop using the outlet and have it inspected.
Do you repair or replace electrical panels?
We troubleshoot panels and breakers and recommend repair or replacement depending on safety and condition. If replacement is needed, we’ll explain scope and next steps.
Do I need a permit for electrical repairs in Ottawa?
Some work may require permits/notifications depending on the job. We’ll advise what applies and ensure the work is completed properly.
Do you service condos and commercial properties?
Yes. We provide electrical repair services for condos, rental units, offices, retail, and other commercial spaces.
