FAQ

Is a Fuse Box Adequate for My Scarborough Home?

Fuse boxes are considered outdated and insufficient for modern electrical demands. To accommodate current loads, oversized fuses are often used, posing fire hazards. We strongly recommend replacing a fuse box with a circuit breaker panel in your Scarborough home. The upgrade offers not only enhanced safety but also convenience, as circuit breakers can be reset rather than replacing fuses. This modernization ensures your electrical system can effectively manage your household's needs while prioritizing safety, making it a valuable investment for homeowners in Scarborough.

Is it Mandatory to Install Smoke Detectors in Scarborough?

Yes, in Scarborough, it's mandatory to install and maintain smoke Detectors. Regular checks are necessary to ensure their proper functioning. This requirement is crucial for the safety of both you and your family. Compliance with these regulations helps protect lives and property by providing early detection of potential fire hazards, making smoke alarms an essential safety measure for homeowners in Scarborough.

What Is Aluminum Wiring and Why Is It Concerning in Scarborough Homes?

Aluminum wiring employs aluminum conductors instead of copper for electrical connections. This choice can be worrisome in Scarborough homes due to inherent aluminum properties. Aluminum is softer than copper, making it susceptible to damage during installation and prone to loosening as it expands and contracts with temperature variations. Furthermore, aluminum develops an oxide layer, a poor conductor of electricity, elevating the risk of overheating and potential fire hazards. Scarborough homeowners with aluminum wiring should remain vigilant about these issues, taking necessary precautions to maintain electrical safety and prevent potential hazards.

As a Scarborough Homeowner, What Inspection Types Are Relevant?

Scarborough homeowners may require inspections based on their specific projects:

New Residential: This pertains to installing a wiring system in a building or structure that lacked one previously.

Renovation Residential: This encompasses any alteration to existing wiring, including device repair and replacement. In some cases, owner-occupants of single-family dwellings may perform certain work without a permit when replacing specific light fixtures and switches. For clarification on project requirements, reach out to the Customer Service Centre.

Residential units in Scarborough include various property types, such as detached, semi-detached, row housing, duplexes, triplexes, quadruplexes, farmhouses, modular, or prefabricated homes. Appropriate inspections ensure electrical work complies with safety standards.

Is a Provincial License Necessary for Electricians in Scarborough, Ontario?

Absolutely, in Scarborough, Ontario, electricians, including helpers, are required to hold an apprentice license, even if they're assisting with electrical work. Additionally, before commencing any electrical installation, it's essential to verify if a permit is necessary. At HI-LIte Electric, we simplify this process by handling permits on your behalf. Our electrical wiring projects strictly adhere to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, the authoritative entity governing interactions with city inspectors and local codes in Scarborough. This commitment to regulatory compliance ensures that your electrical work aligns with safety standards and satisfies city requirements.

Excellent service. Matt came out after hours to resolve an emergency situation where an outlet in our garage caught on fire. He was here within the hour and completed the work efficiently. In addition he communicated clearly all the necessary steps needed. We will definitely be calling him back for additional assistance in the future if the need arises.

I recently had the pleasure of having Matt from HiLite Electrical come over to replace my smoke alarm, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service provided. From the moment Matt arrived, it was clear he was not only highly skilled but also incredibly personable and professional. His attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring that the job was done efficiently and effectively. What truly set Matt apart was his commitment to going above and beyond. He was punctual, arriving right on time, which is a rarity these days. But more importantly, he took the time to explain the process, what the problem was, and why we couldn't get the unit from the foundation in the first place. He was also amazing to talk about in general (especially fitness, training and combat sports, relationships, and other things), and ensured everything was working perfectly before he considered his job done. I highly recommend Hi-Lite Electrical to anyone in need of electrical services. Their team, from speaking with Ang on the phone to set up the appointment (Happy Angela Day..that's an inside joke) to Matt getting it done, Hi-Lite exemplifies the kind of professionalism and expertise that is all too rare. Trust me, if you want a hassle-free, high-quality service, look no further than Hi-Lite Electrical. A big thank you to Ang and Matt for not just meeting, but exceeding my expectations! Super Happy Customer! Funk Roberts
