Our FAQs

Providing You With Answers & Solutions
  • Why would outlets and a ceiling fan suddenly stop working?

    If they’re on the same circuit, this could be due to a bad breaker or a poor wiring job.

    We can diagnose this for you, so call us, and our professional electrical contractors will find & fix the problem.

  • My room's electricity randomly turns off and on again. Why?

    This may be an issue with your current hydro provider or a loose wire in your home.

    If the issue begins outside, it could also be related to weather conditions; for example, heavy winds, rains, or a thunderstorm.

  • How often should an electrician look at my electrical system?

    If your home’s electrical system is aluminum, you should have an electrician inspect it every 25 years.

    If your home’s electrical system is copper, regular inspections are not overly necessary, as this material is meant to last a long time.

    We do recommend booking an electrical inspection when buying a house, however. It’s best to get one done before you move in to ensure everything is up to code, safe, and of the utmost quality.

  • What are the risk of trying to do electrical work yourself?

    WARNING: It is extremely dangerous to attempt ANY electrical work in your home by yourself. Doing so could result in serious injury or death.

    Please call a professional to inspect, diagnose & fix any electrical issues you may be experiencing at home.

  • How much does electrical wiring in a house cost?

    The cost for a residential electrical wiring service varies drastically based on a wide range of issues.

    There are several factors at play, including:

    The size of your home
    The size of the wiring project
    The scope of the wiring project – for example, new additions such as media rooms, sound systems, security systems, etc.

    Providing a hard estimate is difficult without knowing any of the above.

    To get started on a home assessment, contact the pros at Limcan today.

  • How do I know if my home's electrical wiring is bad?

    These are some signs of poor electrical wiring in your home:

    • Melting, slightly melted or discoloured wire in panel
    • Melting, slightly melted or discoloured plugs/outlets
    • Flickering lights
    • Breakers constantly tripping

    If you’ve noticed some or all of these signs, it may be time for an electrical inspection & rewiring, contact the pros at Limcan today.

  • How do I know when it's time to replace my electrical wiring?

    If your home is on aluminum electrical wiring, you should call an electrical contractor to replace it right away.

    Aluminum wiring is not safe, and most insurance companies will no longer allow for coverage of homes that still use it.

    If your home is on knob & tube wiring, you might want to consider upgrading to a more modern system.

  • How long does it take an electrician to wire a house?

    How long it takes an electrical contractor to wire a house depends largely on the house’s size.

    For a bungalow, for example, a relative estimate would be about one week. Homes with additional floors can expect an extra week for each floor.

    This is still, however, an estimate; the actual time will vary from house to house and project to project.

  • What are signs that electrical work was done by an amateur?

    Professional electricians take pride in their work.

    One good example: if the breaker box in a house isn’t square, but instead appears crooked or shoddily placed on the wall, it’s likely the home’s electrical work was not done by a professional or certified contractor.

  • What size water heater do I need?

    Your choice of water heater size will additionally be influenced by the features of your home, the size of your household, and how frequently you use hot water each day. Therefore, it is advised to have an HVAC technician carry out a thorough calculation that correlates with your specific needs to ensure you purchase the proper water heater for your home.

    Every house and every property owner is unique.

As a result, before making a decision on a particular unit, you need to consider the following:

    •   What your budget is for your new furnace installation
    •   What your personal heating preferences are for your home
    • Will the furnace you intend to install in your home come with a warranty
    •   What type of maintenance will be required for your specific heating system
    •   Does the HVAC company you intend to work with have good reviews and a track record of success?

    As you’ll see, there are numerous considerations that homeowners must make before choosing a new furnace. This is why they should consult with a skilled and experienced HVAC company in their area to assist them in selecting the ideal furnace system for their homes.

This timeframe will differ from house to house depending on the kind of furnace you have installed and the measurements of your residence.

  • Can I (and should I) remove old unused electrical wiring?

    No, not yourself; never attempt to move or remove old wiring yourself.

    A certified electrical contractor should be dispatched to inspect it themselves and confirm that it is, in fact, unused. Attempting to do so yourself is not safe and could result in severe injury or even death.

  • How much does it cost to fix electrical problem in a house?

    The cost for an electrical contractor to fix existing or ongoing electrical problems in your house varies drastically based on a wide range of issues.

    There are several factors at play, including:

    • The size of your home
    • Severity of the problem
    • A technician’s diagnosis, following a thorough inspection

    Providing a hard estimate is difficult without knowing any of the above.

    However, we do recommend that if you are concerned about electrical problems in your home, you call in a professional to take a look; it is NOT advisable to delay or leave the problem because of worries about price. Ignoring electrical problems could lead to much more dangerous issues down the road.

  • What should I do if an electrical outlet is not working in my house?

  • What can I expect to pay for a furnace repair job?

    The cost of furnace repair might vary based on numerous factors:

    • Type of problem: The cost will be significantly impacted by the particular problem with your furnace. Repairing simple issues, such as changing the air filter or thermostat, usually doesn’t cost as much as fixing more complicated ones.
    • Labour costs: The cost of labour varies based on your location, the level of experience of the HVAC professional, and the amount of time needed to identify and fix the issue.
    • Materials and parts: A sizable portion of the overall cost will go toward the price of replacement materials and components, should they be required. The fee may vary depending on the kind and brand of parts.

    Because it’s difficult to gauge how much a furnace repair will cost, we suggest booking a repair appointment with a member of the team at Limcan Certified for a more accurate and tailored estimate.

  • What should I do if water gets into an electrical outlet?

    If water has made its way into an electrical outlet in your home, turn off the breaker and search for the cause.

    See if it’s a major or minor amount of water – for example, is it just a one-off issue? Or has a pipe burst or started leaking?

    Determining the cause of the problem will help you know who to call, as you may also need a plumber in the event the issue is related to your home’s pipes.

    Once you know the cause of the problem, give us a call at (365) 802-5748 or book a home electrical service online today.
