How do I check my electrical equipment to see if it’s safe?
You can carry out regular visual checks such as looking for plug or cable damage, seeing if any wires are visible and checking for marks that would suggest overheating. You can exercise breakers yearly, test GFCI receptacles and install CO detectors in the house. If you need assistance, our Red Seal journeyman technicians can complete thorough checks.

How often should I test my electrical equipment?
This depends on several factors, including the environment, whether it’s in residential or commercial property and the type of equipment. Emergency lighting needs to be tested once a year, along with commercial fire alarm systems. Residential smoke alarms and CO detectors have life spans of 3-10 years and should be annually tested and checked for expiry. Please speak to one of our technicians for specific advice.

How do you rewire a house?
We sometimes need to rewire houses built in the 1960s that have aluminum wiring or homes built before the 1950s with underground wiring.
This is a job that requires access to every room with furniture moved out. The process varies with the era of the property but often includes:- Completing kitchen or bathroom renovations
- Fishing vertically through wall spaces
- Wiring through attics and fishing down interior walls
- Upgrading the main incoming overhead or underground service
- Ensuring the bonding and grounding of water pipes, gas pipes and system ground is complete and up to new standards
- Ensuring the bonding and grounding of water pipes, gas pipes and system ground is complete and up to new standards
Although this is a disruptive process, we carry it out as quickly and efficiently as possible to create a minimal amount of hassle. We clean up after ourselves at the end of every day and ensure the installation is high-quality and safe before we leave.
