Ancaster

Serving Ancaster Since 1946

Service area

Village stone homes, Meadowlands builds and rural estates

Ancaster covers more ground than people expect, and the electrical work changes as you move across it. The Village along Wilson Street is old — stone and brick homes with original wiring, ungrounded circuits and services that were adequate in 1955 and are not now. The Meadowlands, Ancaster Heights and the newer subdivisions are the capacity conversation: EV chargers, finished basements, pot lights and hot tubs going into houses built with a panel sized to the minimum.

Then there are the larger properties — Sulphur Springs, Lime Kiln, Alberton, out toward Jerseyville and Copetown. Bigger houses, longer driveways, detached garages and shops, pools and landscape lighting, and rural overhead feeds where an outage lasts long enough to matter. Standby generators, 400-amp services and buried feeders are normal work out there.

We also cover the Wilson Street and Meadowlands commercial strips — retail lighting, fit-outs, parking lot lighting and maintenance. Everything to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, ESA notification filed and inspection booked by us. Emergency? Call 905-634-5577, 24 hours a day.

FAQ

Common Questions

My breaker keeps tripping. Can I just keep resetting it?

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.

How long does troubleshooting take?

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.

Is troubleshooting available outside business hours?

Yes. Our professional team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergencies.

Can you work on wiring installed by someone else?

Yes. A large share of our repair work involves correcting or completing wiring done previously by others.
