"Excellent job. The owner was able to diagnose the problem with our generator. He made a sound recording and video documenting the problem and sent it to the generator company enabling us to receive new parts under the warranty. Mr. Byrne then installed those parts and fixed the generator. We have since used New Grange for all our electrical needs."

"My experience with Apollo Electric was wonderful. I needed some normal electrical work done, and also some detailed more involved work. He handled everything with care as if it was his own home. He was very detailed oriented, neat, clean and very honest. Mike worked hard during the entirety of the job, I was very pleased and I would call him for any job I need involving electrical work for the future"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

New homeowners in New Brunswick should start with a comprehensive electrical inspection to identify outdated or unsafe wiring. Upgrading old panels, adding GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms, and installing hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are essential. It’s also important to check outdoor outlets and ensure proper grounding to meet local codes and support safe, modern living.

Helpful?

Upgrading electrical systems in New Brunswick homes enhances safety by minimizing fire risks and supporting reliable power for modern appliances. Adding outlets and improved lighting increases convenience, while updated wiring ensures heating and cooling systems run efficiently. These improvements not only make daily life more comfortable but also boost property value in New Brunswick’s competitive housing market.

Helpful?

When hiring electrical pros in New Brunswick, look for experience with older homes and a solid understanding of local permit requirements. Ensure they carry proper insurance and can provide references from local projects. It’s also smart to choose professionals who are familiar with the unique needs of university-area properties and can respond quickly to emergencies in New Brunswick’s diverse housing landscape.

Helpful?

In New Brunswick, homeowners often skip required permits, leading to code violations and potential insurance issues. Many underestimate the complexity of older home wiring, such as failing to replace knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring. Overloading circuits, mixing incompatible wire types, and not planning for today’s higher electrical demands are also frequent errors that can compromise both safety and long-term home value.

Helpful?

Warning signs in New Brunswick homes include flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, or outlets that feel warm to the touch. If you notice burning smells, scorch marks, or rely heavily on extension cords, these are red flags. Outdated features like two-prong outlets, aluminum wiring, or knob-and-tube systems are strong indicators that a licensed professional should evaluate your electrical system.
