Warm switches, flickering lights or a tingle from a tap? An electrical safety check finds the cause.

From our job sheets
Two inspections, and what they found:
Only the hot water was protected
A New Lambton home had a safety switch on one circuit, a rusted-out meter board, and cable unprotected against metal framing.

A live cable in the backyard
A Hamilton inspection for a tripping dryer circuit tested clear, but found an old, live circuit lying on the ground outside. We removed it the same visit.
