Free Barn Electrical Safety Inspections

At Blais Electric, we understand that electrical safety in barns isn’t just about protecting equipment—it’s about safeguarding your animals, your workers, and your livelihood. That’s why we proudly offer free barn electrical safety inspections to farms throughout Guelph, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and surrounding rural communities. What to Expect From Your Barn Inspection

Our electricians conduct a comprehensive, on-site evaluation of your barn’s electrical infrastructure, focusing on the areas most prone to risk:

  • Wiring and Cabling: We inspect for worn, exposed, or rodent-damaged wiring—common hazards in aging or high-traffic barns.

  • Breaker Panels and Load Capacity: We assess your electrical panel for signs of overload, corrosion, and outdated components that may not meet today’s agricultural safety codes.

  • Moisture and Dust Exposure: Agricultural environments are especially susceptible to corrosion and fire risks caused by moisture, condensation, and airborne particles. We verify that all systems are properly enclosed and grounded.

  • Lighting and Control Systems: We ensure your lighting systems are energy-efficient, weather-sealed, and placed for optimal visibility and safety.

  • GFCI Protection and Grounding: We test critical circuits for proper Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) function—especially important in wash bays, feed rooms, and other wet areas.

  • Animal Contact Areas: We evaluate for stray voltage and ensure that electrical components are isolated from areas where animals can come into contact with them.

Automated Systems and Ventilation Controls: For farms with automation, we check the reliability of control wiring, sensors, and motors tied to feeding, climate control, or ventilation.

Unique Electrical Challenges in Agricultural Settings

Barns and agricultural structures often deal with complex issues like voltage drops, equipment overloads, and DIY fixes that can lead to fire hazards or system failures. Expansion, weather damage, and seasonal usage changes can further strain your system if it’s not properly evaluated and maintained.

Why Old Barn Wiring Poses a Risk

Barns create a harsh environment for electrical systems. High humidity, temperature changes, and corrosive gases from livestock waste accelerate wire deterioration, making electrical faults more likely.

As insulation cracks and connections loosen, overheated wires can spark, igniting nearby hay, bedding, or wooden structures. Rodents chewing on wires further increase the risk, exposing live conductors that can short-circuit and start a fire.

Another growing concern is insurance coverage. Many insurers now require farmers to upgrade old wiring before they will approve or renew policies. Failing to address outdated electrical systems could result in higher premiums or even a loss of coverage.

Why It Matters

Small electrical issues can quickly become major problems on a farm—risking productivity, animal welfare, and even insurance coverage. Our free inspection service gives you peace of mind and helps ensure your operation remains safe, code-compliant, and fully functional all year round.

Agricultural Electrical FAQs

Do you really offer free barn electrical safety inspections, and what’s included?

Yes, we do! At Blais Electric, we believe safety should never be a luxury. Our free barn inspections are a no-strings-attached service designed to help you identify risks before they become problems. We’ll inspect your wiring, panels, grounding, lighting, and equipment to ensure everything is up to code and safe for both people and animals. After the inspection, we provide clear recommendations and next steps—no pressure, just honest advice.

How do I know if my barn’s electrical system needs to be upgraded?

If you’re experiencing flickering lights, overloaded circuits, tripping breakers, or relying on extension cords and temporary fixes, it’s likely time for an upgrade. Many older barns weren’t designed to handle today’s electrical loads, especially with the growing use of automation, lighting, and ventilation systems. We’re happy to assess your setup and provide practical options for upgrading.

Can you handle both new installations and repairs on agricultural equipment?

Absolutely. Whether you’re building a new barn or need repairs on an existing electrical system, we’ve got you covered. Our electricians are experienced with everything from new construction wiring to servicing motors, grain dryers, ventilation systems, and irrigation pumps. No job is too big or too specific—we tailor our work to your operation’s unique needs.

Are your services compliant with Ontario farm electrical safety codes?

Yes, all of our work is fully compliant with the Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC) and the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) regulations. We stay up to date with all local and provincial requirements, so you can be confident that your system is not only functional, but fully safe and legally compliant.
