"Electrical in an older home can be complicated. We had several people give outrageous estimates or never show up to do the work. Stapleford electric was prompt in providing an estimate and completed the work with quality. The cost for installing a new outlet and bracing for a large, heavy chandelier was fixed cost and other work was a time and materials rate. Both were reasonable and they knew what they were doing with the old style wiring. We had an additional expense to get plaster repaired separately but that would have been the case no matter who did the electrical work - they referred us to a master plasterer which was great. I have no reservations to recommend or use Stapleford again."

"JDV Electric recently replaced my electrical panel and delivered outstanding service from start to finish. The technicians were professional, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. Before beginning the work, they took the time to remove the panel cover and thoroughly explain the existing damage, as well as how to prevent similar issues in the future. Unlike other companies that simply provided quotes without any explanation, JDV made sure I fully understood both the problem and their proposed solution. Their attention to detail and clear communication set them apart. The team worked efficiently and left the work area spotless, it was as if they had never been there. It?s rare to have a contractor complete a job without needing any cleanup afterward. I highly recommend JDV Electric for any electrical needs, and I will absolutely be using them again for future projects."

"hired DC Electrics to rewire my 3 storey townhouse, which was built in 1896 and had the old knob and tube wiring. I had lots of estimates from other companies and they all said the scope of damage would require me replacing my plaster walls and ceilings with sheetrock. Daryl is extremely knowledgeable about his craft, he was creative and knew instantly how it could be done without making too many holes in the ceiling or disturbing any of the crown molding. I was able to stay in the house for the duration too. Darylâ s crew were all professional, turned up on time and worked full days before cleaning up. He pulled permits and inspection was a breeze. He also advised me on some creative ways to light my house that I hadn't thought of and now I have lights in my garden. It was an extensive job which Daryl handled phenomenally. High quality work for a good fair price. I recently had to move an electrical panel to reconfigure a new bathroom. Again, DC Electrics to the rescue!"

"Highly recommend AMF for all your electrical needs. The whole crew were very professional. Took the time to explain everything from existing issues they found and the steps they would take to repair. They had to move some furniture and other things and paid close attention to detail while cleaning up after themselves and putting everything back exactly how it was. Top notch craftsmanship"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The average lifespan of a home electrical system is anywhere from 30 to 70 years or more, depending on the type of system you have. Modern electrical wiring, like aluminum or copper, can last 50 to 70 years while older types may need to be replaced sooner. Additionally, circuit breakers tend to last anywhere from 30 to 40 years, while electrical outlets need to be replaced every 10 to 25 years. 

It’s a great idea to replace and update outlets, especially if an outlet stops working. New outlets work well with modern appliances and devices. Over time, outlets become old and worn—they can even become damaged, cracked, and burnt if the wiring is old and outdated. Old outlets and wiring can cause smoke, sparks, flickering lights, and an electrical fire.

An air conditioner’s watt usage depends on multiple factors, including the type of AC unit, its size, and how often you use it. With that said, most central air conditioners consume between 3,000 and 3,500 watts. Meanwhile, window AC units use 900 to 1,400 watts, and portable air conditioners consume 2,900 to 4,100 watts.

Home power is measured in kilowatt-hours, commonly expressed as kWh. The average home uses between 800 and 1,000 kWh per month. Peak usage (and highest bills) occurs in the middle of summer and the depths of winter. Keeping on top of your usage during these crucial months will lower your annual average usage considerably. 

You may not always need to hire a local electrician to install a doorbell camera. Wireless doorbell cameras, for instance, are simple enough for the average homeowner to install. They easily attach to your threshold and run on batteries, so no wiring is necessary.

However, wired doorbells with cameras likely require electrical work that should only be attempted by licensed electricians. You’ll need to call a pro if you’re working with a wired doorbell camera.
