24-HR Emergency Service 905-634-5577 | 289-301-7383
Dundas has some of the oldest houses in the region, and the wiring shows it. Century brick homes off King, Cross and Hatt still carry knob-and-tube in the walls and ceilings. Services are frequently 60-amp. Grounding is inconsistent. Additions and conversions have been wired by four different hands across sixty years, and none of them left a drawing.
That is the bulk of our Dundas work: rewiring done in stages, service upgrades, correcting what previous work left behind, and producing the ESA certificate that insurers and buyers ask for. Around University Gardens and the streets near McMaster there is a second stream — rental and student housing, where landlords need smoke and CO detectors done correctly, panels that are legal, and documentation they can produce when asked.
Up on Sydenham Hill and out along Governor’s Road and toward Greensville, the properties get larger and the outages get longer, so generators and 200-amp upgrades come into it. Everything to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, ESA notification filed and inspection booked by us. Emergency? Call 905-634-5577, 24 hours a day.
A breaker trips because something on that circuit is drawing more current than it should, or because there is a fault. Resetting it repeatedly does not address the cause and is not safe as a long-term habit — have the circuit looked at.
It depends entirely on the fault. Some are found in minutes; an intermittent problem that only appears in certain conditions takes longer. We will tell you what we are seeing as we go.
