What's Hidden Behind Your Walls?
Electrical risks in Halifax are tied directly to when and where your home was built.
Knob & Tube Wiring
Homes built before 1950 often contain ungrounded Knob & Tube wiring. Many insurers now require removal or certification before renewing policies.
Our vetted electricians provide insurance-compliant K&T removal and rewiring services, minimising wall damage.
Aluminum Wiring
Homes built between 1965–1972 frequently use aluminum wiring—a fire hazard if connections loosen over time.
We offer pig-tailing services to permanently secure aluminum connections with copper, satisfying safety and insurance requirements.
100A Service Panels
Older 100A panels cannot handle the load of new heat pumps or EV chargers, causing tripped breakers and potential fire risk.
Heavy-up to 200A service upgrades prepare your home for modern electric heating and vehicle charging.

When the power goes out, act fast.
Post-tropical storms are becoming more frequent on the Atlantic coast. Ensure your home can weather the storm with safe generator connections and resilient electrical systems.
- Test generator transfer switches before hurricane season (Sept)
- Install surge protection for sensitive electronics
- Check baseboard heaters before winter
- Inspect outdoor outlets for salt corrosion
Important safety note
Using a generator without a proper transfer switch can backfeed power to the grid, endangering NS Power line workers. Our electricians install CSA-certified interlock kits and manual transfer switches to code.
