"Ross, the owner of the company is a true professional and trade enthusiast. His work is really impressive, you can tell he's passionate and educated in his field. Price was exactly what he quoted me despite having to make additional changes to my electrical box to remedy what was a fire-hazard that they had discovered, and we had no idea about. Perfect opportunity for any other electrician to layer on the extras and add-ons and additional costs, but not Ross. He re-wired our box so that it was code compliant, and fixed the potential fire hazard and installed the box, all for the original estimate. Thank goodness we found Ross, and the Buckley Electric team, our electricians for life."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, a light switch still has power even when switched off. Switches only interrupt or continue the flow of electricity into a fixture or outlet; they do not shut off the power flowing into the wire. The only way to shut off power in a light switch is to turn off the power at the circuit breaker.

How often you’ll replace your electric meter depends on what type of meter you have in your home. Induction meters can last around 10 years, while static meters will typically last around 20. If you’re unsure which kind of meter you have, a call to your electric company can help ease your mind.

Full home electrical inspections are mandatory if you’re buying a new home, but if you’re just looking for a safety checkup, you have some flexibility. If you don’t have any concerns and your property is relatively new, a basic inspection is usually sufficient. If it’s been a long time since your home was last inspected, or it’s an older home, a full home inspection can help catch any concerns that may fly under the radar.

There is no blanket figure for a residential home’s electrical load, since load varies by the size of the home, how many appliances are used, and the efficiency of their electrical systems. Typically, however, it’s safe to assume 40 to 60 amps is the average electrical load of a residential home. 

Yes. Even when it’s not in use, an outlet is still connected to wiring, and if the wiring is faulty or wet, a fire can occur. Broken outlets can also cause fires, for the same reasons; in fact, most broken outlets are broken due to damaged or worn-out wiring. It’s worth replacing outlets that are old or damaged with the help of an electrician.
