How do I find a reliable electrician?
If referrals from family and friends are not possible, you can contact a few electrical contractors to ask them about their experience with the particular job you’re requesting. See how they respond, and be careful not to base your decision on the cheapest price. Sometimes, although not always, price is reflective of the electrical contractor’s experience. So use price as the final gauge. Fortunately, even though our electricians are experts in their field, if you’re in search of affordable electricians in Peterborough that provide high value, look no further. With our years of experience and reasonable price points, you’ll be in good hands with Electricians Peterborough. What questions should I ask an electrician?
|
- “Are you able to provide a couple of references?” - asking for references may not be needed for all projects, but for some home- and business owners who are blindly looking for an electrical contractor, this question is a reasonable one to ask, especially for larger or more complex projects.
- “Do you have any warranties in case the equipment doesn't work?” - our electricians are highly skilled, but mistakes happen and we're all human. For jobs that need modifications and repairs due to human error, we will gladly rectify that deficiency. Do not hesitate to contact us if there are further concerns. We will do our very best to address them in a fair and timely manner.
What electrical mistakes do homeowners commonly make?

Unless you've got experience within the electrical contracting world, we highly advise you contact a knowledgeable licensed electrician to provide the bulk of your residential and commercial electrical services. Here are some common pitfalls made by the average homeowner that could create irreversible damage or safety risk:
- Forgetting to install a GFCI outlet: A ground fault circuit interrupter is a device that automatically shuts off power when it detects an imbalance in incoming and outgoing current, thereby reducing or preventing the danger of overheating or electrocution. They are particularly important in areas with high moisture like bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, garages and patios.
- Failing to install a junction box: Electrical boxes contain the wiring connections and therefore protect them from damage caused by sparks or short circuits, which would not be contained if a junction box was not installed.
- Electrical wires cut too short: The general rule of thumb for cutting wires is to have a minimum of 3 extra inches from the junction box. If the wires are pulled too tight or taut, there’s a risk of faulty wire connections.
- Leaving cables unprotected and exposed: Plastic sheathed cables, especially ones that run over or under walls or ceiling frame, are more prone to damage. They are safer if they're covered in a metal conduit.
- Using the wrong size wire: Using the wrong size wire for the amount of amperage in a circuit can spell trouble. Each gauge wire has a different amp capacity, so this must be taken into consideration. A smaller gauge number corresponds to a larger amp capacity.

As Peterborough electricians, we feel blessed to be serving a city as beautiful and diverse as Peterborough. The most recent census showed the population to be just over 81,000 and is a popular destination town for retirees. Here’s an interesting fact: Peterborough was the first city in Canada to use electric street lights back in the day, and therefore was dubbed “the electric city”. In recent years, the city has slowly shifted away from manufacturing and moved towards technology and service industries such as tourism. Some people also call this city the gateway to the Kawarthas or cottage country. We are excited to serve all your electrical needs and we are confident we are the only master electricians Peterborough residents and business owners need. We are also happy to partner with our Kitchen Remodel San Diego , skylight repair Brooklyn NY and Banbury Handyman Services friends across the border.
