Today I found this hazard inside an outlet box in a bathroom light fixture. The original installer tightened the bracket screw tight against the yellow wire connector and created a loose connection and a potential hazardous situation in the ceiling. In this case it was only a partial power loss, but it could have easily been a potential fire starter. So if you are installing any electrical equipment in your home, be sure to tuck the wires away from box screws neatly to avoid such things. Electricity is no joke and should be installed with precise care every time in order to prevent you and your family and friends from fire and shock hazards.

These older style panels are still a reliable peice of Electrical Equipment, however the product is no longer manufactured. This make the cost of New and Replacement breakers substantially more and also there is no options for ARC-FAULT(AFCI) breakers that are now required by law. Therefore if you have one of these panels, and are looking to add some more Electrical demand on your home, than you should consider installing a Sub-Panel instead as shown in the pictures. This is ...an cheaper alternative to changing the panel out completely to a new one. If you require any Electrical Contracting Services similar or of any nature please contact us @: Phone: 647-527-4895 Email: [email protected] Or visit our website @ www.ajdowningelctric.net for more information about what we do.
Knob and Tube wiring replacement for newer up to date wiring. A lot of old homes have outdated wiring systems and knob and tube is one of the oldest and also can be quite dangerous especially as we are adding more demand to our homes than during the years this design was implemented. If you need any rewiring done in the future contact us today for a free estimate. Visit our website at: www.ajdowningelectric.net

All electrical appliances and tools/equipment are bonded to ground, through the "3rd" prong on the cords, for your safety. If the continuity between the gorund connection and the appliance or equipment were to ever break loose than some serious consequences may occur, resulting in potentially life threatening injuries/death. Please clink on the link below to read the brief blog i have written about the importance of bonding and grounding in our everyday lives. I hope you both learn and enjoy!!! If you are looking for electrical contracting services give us a call at A.J. Downing Electrical Contracting for all your electrical needs. Contact us @647-527-4894 or email @ [email protected]
Are you looking for electrical contracting services? Please read this blog I have written about the importance of using a Licensed Electrical Contractor and the legal ramifications in the event of any injuries or damges arising from the illegal install. Not only will your Insurance Company NOT insure your claims but you will also be on the hook for all costs associated with the damages and injuries to anyone you hired who is not a Licensed Contractor, as well as possible fines from the Government of Ontario upwards of $50,000. So by trying to save a couple of dollars could end up costing you MUCH MORE.
