If your home has suffered electrical damage—or simply hasn’t had an update in decades—it may be time for a full electrical restoration. Whether the cause is aging wiring, water intrusion, fire damage, or faulty installation, Dormit X Electric provides expert solutions to bring your system back to safe, modern standards.

 

We help homeowners restore functionality, reduce hazards, and ensure compliance with today’s electrical codes—all while keeping your home’s comfort and value intact.

 

Why Electrical Restoration Matters

Time, wear, and environmental exposure can quietly compromise your electrical system. Outdated materials like aluminum wiring, rusted components, or overloaded panels aren’t just inefficient—they’re dangerous. Left unaddressed, these issues can lead to:

 

• Power failures and flickering lights
• Electrical fires or shock risks
• Damaged appliances and electronics
• Trouble with home insurance or resale

 

Our goal is to identify what’s behind the problem and deliver a long-term, future-proof fix.

 

Common Warning Signs

Wondering if your home needs restoration? Watch for:

• Lights that dim or flicker
• Breakers that trip often
• Burning or musty smells near outlets
• Warm or discoloured switches
• Original wiring in older homes

 

If your home is 25+ years old and hasn’t had a recent inspection, now is the time to check.

 

What’s Included in Electrical Restoration

Our team tailors every project to the home’s age, condition, and needs. Here’s how the process usually unfolds:

 

Full System Assessment

We start with a complete inspection, identifying risks like degraded wiring, moisture exposure, or outdated panels.

 

Code Updates

We upgrade all components to meet current Canadian Electrical Code standards—ensuring both safety and insurability.

 

Rewiring (If Needed)

Where wiring is unsafe or obsolete, we replace it with modern copper wiring using safe, efficient routing.

 

Panel Upgrades

Old fuse boxes or undersized panels are replaced with up-to-date circuit breaker panels that can handle today’s demands.

 

Grounding \& Surge Protection

We ground the entire system properly and install surge protection to help guard against voltage spikes or storm damage.

If your home was built decades ago, chances are its electrical system wasn’t designed for today’s modern energy needs. From smart devices and air conditioners to EV chargers and hot tubs, older systems often struggle to keep up. That’s where Dormit X Electric comes in.

 

Our expert team—led by a Licensed Master Electrician and backed by $10 million in liability insurance—provides safe, efficient, and code-compliant electrical service upgrades to keep your home running smoothly, securely, and future-ready.

 

🔎 Do You Need an Electrical Upgrade?

Here are some of the most common signs your system may be overdue for an upgrade:

 

🔁 Frequent breaker trips or blown fuses

💡 Flickering or dimming lights

🔥 Warm or buzzing panels, scorched outlets

⚡ Can’t run multiple appliances at once

🚗 Planning to install an EV charger or hot tub

🏗️ Renovating your kitchen, basement, or entire home

 

If any of this sounds familiar, it’s time to call in the professionals.

 

🚨 Why Upgrading Is a Safety Must

Older panels are not only inefficient—they can be dangerous. Outdated systems are one of the leading causes of residential electrical fires, and many insurance companies won’t cover homes with aging or unsafe panels.

 

Upgrading your service:

 

• Reduces the risk of electrical fires
• Helps prevent overloads and outages
• May lower insurance premiums
• Increases property value and resale appeal

 

⚙️ What’s Included in a Service Upgrade?

A full-service electrical upgrade from Dormit X Electric includes:

 

✅ Inspection of your current system

✅ Assessment of your future energy needs

When to Upgrade Your Outlets or Circuits

It might be time for an upgrade if:

Adding outdoor lighting is one of the smartest ways to boost your home’s security and curb appeal. At Dormit X Electric, we design and install security and landscape lighting systems that help protect your home—while making it look stunning at night.

 

Why Invest in Outdoor Lighting?

Security Lighting helps keep your home safe by lighting up dark spots and deterring intruders. Motion sensors and smart timers can activate lights exactly when needed—without wasting energy.

 

Landscape Lighting adds beauty and visibility to your yard, garden, pathways, and driveway. It’s perfect for both safety and creating that warm, welcoming glow for outdoor evenings.

 

The Benefits:

• Improved Safety – Prevent trips and falls by lighting up stairs, walkways, and driveways
• Better Security – Deter unwanted visitors by eliminating dark, hidden areas
• Higher Property Value – A well-lit home looks more cared for and can boost resale appeal
• Energy Savings – Our LED systems use less power and last longer
• Beautiful Ambience – Create a relaxing vibe for patios, gardens, or outdoor gatherings

 

Smart Planning Tips

Before installation, we assess your space and help you choose the best spots for lighting:

 

• Walkways – Place path lights every 8–10 feet for safe nighttime strolling
• Stairs – Add lights at both the top and bottom for better visibility
• Driveways – Use motion or floodlights mounted high (12+ feet) for wide coverage without harsh glare
• Automation – Choose timers, motion sensors, or dusk-to-dawn photocells to make things easy and efficient

 

Lighting Options We Offer

LEDs – Long-lasting, energy-efficient, and ideal for almost any use

 

• Incandescent – Classic style, but uses more energy and burns out faster
• Fluorescent – Energy-saving, but not great in cold weather
•  Metal Halide – Super bright and efficient, great for larger areas (but slower to start)

 

With the right setup, your outdoor lighting can make your home safer, more beautiful, and more enjoyable—day or night. Let Dormit X Electric help you create the perfect balance of security and style.

Your electrical panel is the heart of your system—it sends electricity to every outlet, light, and appliance in your home. But if it’s old or overloaded, it can cause serious problems like power failures, fire risks, or even insurance issues.

 

At Dormit X Electric, we upgrade outdated panels to modern, safe, and reliable systems that keep up with today’s power demands.

 

Why You Might Need a Panel Upgrade

You should consider upgrading your main service panel if:

 

• Your home still has a fuse box instead of breakers
• You’ve run out of space for new circuits or appliances
• There are signs of burn damage, corrosion, or overheating
• You have a Zinsco, FPE, or aluminum-lined panel, which are known to be unsafe
• Your panel is over 30 years old or showing signs of wear

 

A new panel can help prevent overloads, keep your family safe, and make your home insurable and resale-ready.

 

What’s Included in a Service Panel Upgrade?

A professional upgrade from Dormit X Electric typically includes:

 

• Full replacement of your main panel with a modern breaker panel
• New meter socket and service mast if required
• Upgrading grounding and aluminum service lines for safety
• Surge protection to guard against power spikes
• Proper labeling of all circuits for easier troubleshooting
• Permit coordination with BC Hydro and your city
• Minimal downtime—we’ll keep your home running smoothly during the upgrade

 

We only use top-tier panels from Federal, Square D, and Cutler Hammer, and every install comes with a 1-year warranty.

 

Why Fuse Panels Are a Fire Hazard

Fuse panels are outdated and unsafe. While swapping a blown fuse seems simple, using the wrong fuse size (even accidentally) can overheat the wires behind your walls—creating a hidden fire risk.

 

Breaker panels are safer, easier to use, and preferred by insurance companies for a reason: they help prevent electrical fires and overloads.

 

Upgrade once—stay safe for decades. A new panel can last 30 to 40 years with proper care.

When it comes to protecting your home and family, smoke detectors are one of the most important safety features you can have. At Dormit X Electric, we make sure your alarms are installed the right way—so they work when you need them most.

 

What Do Smoke Detectors Do?

Smoke detectors (or smoke alarms) are devices that sense smoke in the air and sound a loud alarm to warn you. They give you precious time to escape or act before a fire spreads—especially important while you’re asleep or in another part of the house.

 

Why You Should Have Them in Every Home

 

• Detect smoke early—even before you see flames
• Give you time to get your family to safety
• Help firefighters respond faster and more effectively

 

For full protection, install smoke detectors:

 

• In every bedroom
• In hallways outside sleeping areas
• On each level of your home (including basements)

 

Avoid placing detectors too close to kitchens or steamy bathrooms—you’ll get more false alarms than real ones.

 

How They Work

There are two main types:

 

• Photoelectric Detectors – Use a light beam to sense smoke (great for slow, smoldering fires)
• Ionization Detectors – Use a tiny electrical current to sense smoke (better for fast, flaming fires)
• For best results, use a mix of both types—especially in areas like kitchens, laundry rooms, or near heating appliances.

 

🛠️ Professional Installation Matters

Our licensed electricians install smoke detectors the right way—securely, safely, and in the best locations to give you full coverage. We make sure:

 

• They’re mounted on ceilings where smoke naturally rises
• There’s one on each floor and near every bedroom
• They follow local building codes and safety standards

 

We can also hardwire them into your electrical system or install models with long-life batteries for less maintenance.

 

🔧 Smoke Detector Maintenance Tips

Keeping your detectors working properly is simple and doesn’t take much time:

 

• Test Monthly – Press the test button to make sure it sounds
• Clean Every 6 Months – Gently vacuum around the vents to remove dust
• Keep Bugs Away – Spray insect repellent around the unit, not directly on it
• Replace Batteries Yearly – Or when you hear a chirping sound
• Replace the Whole Unit Every 10 Years – Sensors wear out, even in clean homes
• If there’s no visible date on the unit or it fails a test, it’s time for a replacement.

 

Bottom line? A few minutes of care—and professional installation—can protect your home for years to come.

5 Reasons to Go Solar with Dormit X Electric

Solar energy isn’t just a trend—it’s a smart, long-term investment in your home, your wallet, and the environment. Whether you’re looking to cut utility bills, gain backup power, or move toward energy independence, solar power puts the control back in your hands.

 

At Dormit X Electric, we help homeowners design and install high-performance solar systems that work year-round—even in BC’s cloudy climate.

 

Is Solar Worth It in British Columbia?

Absolutely. While BC is known for overcast skies, today’s high-efficiency solar panels are designed to perform in low-light conditions. That means you can still generate clean energy even on rainy or cloudy days.

 

Most rooftops provide more than enough space to install a system that powers your daily needs—and any extra energy you produce can be fed back into the grid for credits on your bill. No matter the size or layout of your home, we’ll help you design a system that fits.

 

5 Advantages of Switching to Solar

Clean, Renewable Energy

No emissions, no fuel—just clean electricity from the sun. Help reduce your household’s carbon footprint and contribute to a greener future.

 

Lower Utility Bills

With solar, you generate your own electricity, reducing your monthly hydro bills. Over time, your system can pay for itself.

 

Energy Independence

Solar gives you more control over your energy usage. Add a battery backup, and you can keep essentials running during grid outages.

 

Boost Home Value

Homes with solar installations are more attractive to buyers and often sell for a premium.

 

Government Rebates \& Incentives

Take advantage of current federal and provincial programs that can offset up to 30–50% of your installation cost.

 

Solar Costs & Incentives: What to Expect

The cost of solar depends on your home’s layout, energy usage, and the size of your system. But thanks to available grants, rebates, and low-interest financing, solar has never been more affordable.

 

We offer free estimates and site assessments to help you explore your options. You’ll get a clear picture of your potential savings and return on investment—no pressure, just honest advice.

 

Power Your Future with Dormit X Electric

From initial consultation to final connection, Dormit X Electric is your trusted partner for solar installation. Our team ensures that your system is built to last, performs reliably, and stays compliant with all local electrical codes and utility standards.
