Meet Tanner Henderson, the electrical apprentice at Hoover Electric. Tanner started working for us in 2019 when he did Co-op through Dryden High School. He fit in so well with our group that we hired him for a summer position, and then when he finished high school, we signed him up as an apprentice in July of 2020.

People often think circuit breakers are just a flip of the switch and something you need not be concerned with. However, when a breaker trips (or shuts off), it’s usually because too many things were running on one circuit simultaneously, and it became overloaded. However, if the breaker trips for no apparent reason, there may be a short circuit, which is a much bigger problem. The latter is usually best left to an electrician to figure out.

This winter, Canada has recorded its lowest temperature in years due to the heavy snowfall. With snowstorms, freezing rain, and high winds, powerline and equipment damage is quite common.

After graduating from high school, most people find themselves at a crossroads, unsure of which route to take. If you are faced with the same dilemma, consider your preferences or what you envisioned yourself doing in the future. If you like working with your hands and see yourself working locally, you may want to consider a profession as an electrician.

While it may be tempting to follow the DIY trend after watching a few videos on Youtube or Facebook, following suit isn’t the wisest decision. Though the DIYers online may appear to have enough skill to restore their electrical systems or install new ones, it may be hard for you to judge if their efforts were safe and reliable. Additionally, they don’t always tell you about the research that went into the task. There’s also the possibility that the electrical codes they follow are different from those in your locality.
