2.Panel board replacements

In North America, there are many old panels with old breakers. These panels have huge fire hazards. Due to many fire cases, many companies have gone bankrupt after many lawsuits and claims in history.

According to tests by relevant agencies, about 20-40% of breakers do not trip when the overload current exceeds 25% of its rated current, which can easily cause the wire to catch fire.

The fact that those breakers can sometimes be switched in the off position and in fact still be conducting electricity leaves you at high risk for serious electric shock.

Our common brands with fire risks are as follows:

· Zinsco (GTE-Sylvania)

· Stab-lok Federal Pacific Electric (FPE)

· Pushmatic Bulldog Electrical Panel

· Federal Pacific Electric (FPE)

· fuse box panel

fuse panels are no longer CSA certified. No longer CSA certified means that it would not be acceptable to install this panel in a home today，Also note that certain insurance companies may refuse coverage if your home has fuse box panels

The biggest problem with fuse boxes is that when a certain line trips frequently, the homeowner may replace the original fuse with a larger fuse, which causes the line to overload and overheat, causing a fire.

· The Importance of Replacing Problematic Panels

Just as any heart problem in your body would require immediate attention by a medical doctor, any electrical panel issues in the home should be addressed right away by a licensed electrician. When choosing a doctor to address health concerns for you or your loved ones, trust and experience is highly important. Trust our experienced electricians at Tomstar Electricity to keep your home running smoothly and safely.

· Getting home insurance with old electrical panels

You may have a difficult time getting even high-risk homeowners insurance if you have an electrical panel that is a known fire hazard. But if you replace the panel with the help of a licensed electrician, your insurance company might decide to offer you a policy. You may need evidence that you have made the change, like a work order or receipt.

If you know that you have a problematic circuit panel and fail to disclose this to your insurance provider, a fire claim could be denied. It’s best to make sure that you are safe with an upgraded panel and protected in the event of a fire.

4.New House Wiring

Before wiring a new house, it is necessary to make a good design and plan. Sometimes, some design drawings are not well considered. We will communicate with the homeowner in a timely manner during the work process to adjust the incomplete design drawings so that the final plan is more in line with the requirements of the homeowner and the code.

5.Aluminum to Copper Wire Replacement

Most houses built between 1972 and 1980 use aluminum wires. Aluminum wires will generate aluminum oxide at the joints, especially at the joints with copper electrical equipment. Since aluminum oxide has a large resistance, current passing through the joints will generate high temperatures and even cause fires. We recommend replacing aluminum wires with copper wires in a timely manner to avoid fire hazards.

Our company has a variety of backup generator solutions, from 7kw to 24kw, we have complete solutions. It can restore power to your home in seconds to minutes.

8. Submersible Pump Backup Power System

Due to the high groundwater level, many houses have submersible pumps. When your home suffers a power outage and you do not have a backup generator, a submersible pump backup battery is very necessary. We recommend that you install a submersible pump backup battery as soon as possible so that you do not have to watch your basement being flooded during a power outage.

9. Industrial and Commercial Electrical Installations

Heavy-duty wiring and power solutions for factories and industrial sites.

10.Install heat pump

The major benefit of using an air-source heat pump is the high efficiency it can provide in heating compared to typical systems like furnaces, boilers and electric baseboards. At 8°C, the coefficient of performance (COP) of air-source heat pumps typically ranges from between 2.0 and 5.4. This means that, for units with a COP of 5, 5 kilowatt hours (kWh) of heat are transferred for every kWh of electricity supplied to the heat pump. As the outdoor air temperature drops, COPs are lower, as the heat pump must work across a greater temperature difference between the indoor and outdoor space. At –8°C, COPs can range from 1.1 to 3.7.

Install heat pump, save your money.

11.Fire Alarm System Installation

Fire Alarm System is a mandatory requirement of Canadian building regulations, whether it is a new home or a renovated home, and is also a prerequisite for insurance companies to provide insurance. It provides additional protection for human life and property and can minimize production losses. Check your home's Fire Alarm System. If it is only a battery-powered stand-alone detector, it is recommended that you replace it with an interconnected Fire Alarm System as soon as possible.

12. Internet & Network Wiring

Professional installation for high-speed internet and networking.

13. Camera & Security System Installation

For well-known reasons, burglary cases often occur. The loss caused by any burglary case is several to dozens of times the price of a security system. Burglar rates of homes state that 1 in 3 homes without a security system will fall victim to a burglary as compared to 1 in 250 homes that do have a security system. Don't wait for theft to happen before you think about installing a security system. Take action now.
