Electrician in Ottawa
HEC Ottawa does residential and commercial electrical work across the city, from a breaker that keeps tripping to wiring a whole basement. We are also a heating and cooling company, so when an HVAC job needs electrical work, the same team does it.
Electrical services
- Repairs and troubleshooting — breakers that trip, outlets that stopped working, lights that flicker
- Outlets and switches — new, moved or replaced
- Lighting — light fixtures, pot lights, ceiling fans and outdoor lighting
- Wiring and rewiring for renovations and additions
- Panel and service upgrades — see panel upgrades
- Dedicated circuits for heat pumps, air conditioners and appliances
Basement electrical work
Finishing a basement means new outlets, lighting, switches and often a sub-panel. We wire finished basements, renovations and new rooms, and if the basement also needs heating or cooling, that is our other trade.
When to call an electrician
- A breaker trips again and again
- An outlet or switch plate feels warm, or you smell something burning
- Lights flicker or dim when an appliance starts
- Buzzing from a panel, outlet or switch
- Older wiring in a house you are about to renovate
If you smell burning, switch off that circuit at the panel if it is safe to do so, and call.
Electrician questions
Do you do residential and commercial electrical work?
Both. Homes are most of our electrical work, and we also do commercial jobs, especially where they tie in with heating and cooling equipment.
Can you wire my basement renovation?
Yes. Basement wiring for finished basements, renovations and new rooms is a regular job for us.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Usually the circuit is overloaded, a device on it is faulty, or there is a short somewhere. Resetting it again and again is not a fix. Call and we will find the cause.
Can you add a circuit for a new heat pump or air conditioner?
Yes, and we install the heat pump or air conditioner too, so it is one job and one team.
