Electrical contractors Thunder Bay ON
Our company takes pride in what we do. We’ve done the most comprehensive vetting to deliver you the best electricians in Thunder Bay to service all your home and business electrical needs.
How do I find a good electrician? Aside from finding a licensed electrician who has completed years of studies and training (as opposed to an unqualified and unlicensed electrical contractor), you want to choose someone who has great attention to detail, who can perform the job in a timely manner, who is reliable and who communicates well with the customer. Our Thunder Bay electricians fulfill all these criteria to deliver the best service at an affordable price. Below, you will find a sampling of services provided by our Thunder Bay electrical contractors. Electrical Panel Upgrade If you’re looking for a service panel upgrade, don’t hesitate to contact us. How much does it cost to upgrade to 200 amp service in Ontario? You’re generally looking at between $3,000 to $4,000 but the actual cost depends on various factors such as type of home, amperage requirements, and number of circuits. In older homes, there may be a simple fuse box. Many modern appliances and devices may overload the fuse box capabilities and therefore a new service panel may need to be installed. If you have an existing electrical panel, you may ask yourself: Do I need to upgrade to 200 amp service? With many modern full size homes these days, along with the new power-demanding appliances, the answer is a resounding yes. In more rare instances where you’re looking at a very large home or in commercial settings, a 400 amp service may be needed, but for the average household, 200 amp will do the job. |

GFCI and AFCI
What is a GFCI outlet and when is a GFCI outlet required in Ontario? A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) serves to shut off power when there is a difference between the incoming and outgoing current that can possibly cause overheating. They are generally found in high moisture areas such as the bathroom. All receptacles located within 1.5 meters of a sink require a GFCI for protection, according to the Canadian Electric Code. Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCI) protect against damaged wires. The Ontario Electrical Safety Code, set by the ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) requires that branch circuits supplying receptacles in sleeping areas of a building be protected by an AFCI. Call us for your GFCI installation and/or AFCI installation needs.

Appliance electrical hookup
If you’re looking for assistance in the wiring of large appliances such as the dishwasher, washer and dryer, or even a hot tub installation, look no further than your local Thunder Bay electricians. Some appliances and devices are much more involved than simply plugging in the cord, and involve drilling holes and ensuring the right amperage and outlets are used for the particular device. Take, for example, a standby generator installation. To maximize efficiency and use, you must consider the location and size of the backup generator, power backup ratings, and other factors such as noise levels and exhaust emissions.
