Residential Electrical Services FAQs
How do I know if my home’s electrical panel needs to be upgraded?
At Blais Electric, we recommend upgrading your electrical panel if you’re experiencing frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or if your panel is more than 25 years old. Many older homes in Guelph, Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge were built with panels not designed to handle today’s electrical demands. Upgrading ensures your system can safely support modern appliances, EV chargers, and smart home technology.
Is aluminum wiring in my home dangerous?
Aluminum wiring was commonly used in homes built between the 1960s and 1970s. Over time, it can become a fire hazard due to loose connections and oxidation. If your home has aluminum wiring, our licensed electricians can inspect it and recommend safe rewiring or approved remediation techniques to keep your home and family protected.
Why do my outlets or light switches feel warm or stop working?
Warm or malfunctioning outlets and switches can signal an underlying issue such as overloaded circuits, loose connections, or outdated wiring. These problems shouldn’t be ignored. Our team at Blais Electric will safely troubleshoot and repair your home’s electrical system to prevent further issues and ensure everything is working efficiently.
Do I need a permit for residential electrical work?
Yes, most electrical projects in Ontario require a permit to ensure the work meets provincial safety codes. The good news? At Blais Electric, we take care of the entire permitting process for you. We work closely with the ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) and local inspectors to ensure your project is fully compliant from start to finish.
What is the benefit of installing whole-home surge protection?
Whole-home surge protectors defend your electrical system, appliances, and sensitive electronics from damaging voltage spikes caused by storms, outages, or power fluctuations. Unlike basic power bars, these devices offer comprehensive protection at the panel level—something we highly recommend for homes across the Guelph and Tri-City region.
Can I install an EV charger at home, and what’s involved?
Absolutely. Home EV charger installation is one of our most in-demand services. We’ll assess your electrical panel, install a dedicated circuit, and provide a fast, reliable charging solution. As one of the leading EV charger installers in Guelph, Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge, we partner with top vendors to give you the best in convenience and performance.
