Electrical Outlet & Receptacle Replacement in Ottawa

Investigating an Intermittent Electrical Problem
A diagnostic visit starts with the symptom, when it occurs and which equipment is affected. The findings determine the repair scope; a replacement part should not be the starting assumption.

Common questions
Its existing wiring and protection need assessment first. A different face does not establish that grounding or circuit conditions are suitable.
Stop using that outlet and arrange prompt assessment by an LEC. Report the symptoms rather than treating the work as a cosmetic replacement.
