Our team cannot express our gratitude for your loyalty to us this past year and prior. During this Christmas season, with a close to another year, we pause to reflect and thank you!

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.

If you’re looking for electrical options that save you money and protect the environment, switching to LED lighting is the way to go. LED options consume less energy and provide brighter lighting. They do not overheat or burn out and are available in different sizes to suit a wide range of applications.

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. However, as the snowfall isn’t letting up, it can be challenging to make repairs so people can receive uninterrupted electricity to heat their homes and brave the winter season.

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.
