You shouldn’t second-guess an electrical issue as if it’s gonna be a small fix or a sign of a much larger problem. Even if the breaker is tripped, the light is flickering, the outlet isn’t functioning, or maybe you’re undertaking renovations but completely forgot about the electrical side of it.
You deserve answers, professionalism, and a fix that won't keep you up at night. Salter Electric is your answer as professional residential electricians in Ottawa.
If you’re unsure why there’s a problem, that’s okay. You don’t have to use technical terms to describe what you’re seeing, hearing or experiencing in your house.
If your lights are dimming, an outlet feels hot, the breaker trips, or something isn’t working, the most important thing to do is to find out “why” this is happening. The aim isn’t to fix one issue and hope the rest will go away.
The choice of a residential electrician in Ottawa starts with a basic question. Can you “trust” the person entering your house?
Salter Electric provides solid evidence that we should be trusted. We’ve served more than 5,000 houses and got 90+ five star Google reviews. Additionally, we’ll check your electrical system’s safety, so our focus goes beyond the problem you mentioned.
And your job will be guaranteed for 12 months. That’s what you can rely on blindfolded.
Are you looking for home electrical repairs in Ottawa? Let us inspect the problem instead of continuing to reset the circuit breaker, changing out an outlet, or waiting for the problem to go away.
Professional electrical repairs can fix outlets, switches, circuit breakers, wire problems, lighting issues, and many other electrical concerns.
If you’re renovating or remodeling your kitchen, bathroom, basement, addition, or any other room in your house, then our home renovation electrician in Ottawa can ensure the electrical system will work with the completed space.
The right lighting impacts the ambiance of space and its usability. Our home lighting electricians in Ottawa can take care of indoor and outdoor lighting design, fixture placement, installation and renovation.
Even if you desire more light on your kitchen countertops, softer bedroom light or a safer outdoor area, the lighting plan should be customized to your lifestyle. The key point is simple – place lighting where it’s needed.
Old houses and increasing electricity demands often bring new challenges. Surge protection, electrical renovations, panel upgrade, rewiring, or circuit modification – we’ll ensure your house has the necessary capabilities and safety.
This is useful when you’re planning to install more appliances or an EV charger, finish a basement or change the purpose of the room. Not sure which electrical renovations your house requires? Contact our home remodel electrician in Ottawa so you can make an informed decision.
First of all, tell us what happened. There’s no need to be an electrical engineer yourself.
Mentioning a flickering light, tripped breaker, dead outlet, renovation plans, or ideas for lighting is enough as an introduction to the discussion.
Then, we’ll analyze the electrical system along with the problem. This process involves receiving all the necessary information regarding the problem and its solution. If the cause of the trouble has something more complex behind it, we’ll prioritize finding that cause.
Finally, we’ll fix the issue. Each appointment will imply a safety check and a 12-month guarantee of the work performed.
The result isn't limited to a working outlet, light, circuit, or electrical system only. It’s also peace of mind that comes from the knowledge of having the problem solved in the proper way. The possibility of encountering the same problem once again is completely ruled out.
