Residential

Home electrical repairs and troubleshooting in Edmonton

Dead outlets, breakers that will not stay on, flickering lights, warm switch plates and anything an inspector flagged: diagnosed and fixed by a licensed electrician, usually on the first visit.

Find the cause, not just the symptom

A breaker that keeps tripping is telling you something. MNR Electric’s residential electricians trace faults to the source, whether that is an overloaded circuit, a failed device, a loose neutral or rodent damage in the attic, and fix it properly instead of resetting it and leaving. Every repair is tested, explained and priced before the work starts.

Repairs we handle every week

Outlets and switches

Dead, loose, scorched or two-prong outlets replaced, GFCI protection added in kitchens, bathrooms and outdoors, dimmers and smart switches installed.

Tripping breakers and partial outages

Overloads, shorts, arc faults and failed breakers diagnosed and corrected, including circuits that only fail in the cold.

Flickering and dimming

Loose connections, shared neutrals, undersized circuits and utility-side issues separated and solved.

Code corrections

Deficiencies from a home inspection, a real estate condition or an insurance letter corrected and documented.

Garage, basement and exterior

Detached garage feeds, basement suite circuits, exterior receptacles, heat tape and block heater outlets.

Emergencies, 24/7

Burning smells, sparking, a wet panel or a whole-house outage that is not the utility: a licensed electrician answers any hour.

What to expect

01

Describe the problem

What is happening, where, and since when. If anything is hot, sparking or smelling, shut the breaker off and call the emergency line.

02

Diagnosis at a published rate

The electrician tests circuits, devices and the panel and tells you exactly what failed and why.

03

Fixed from the van

Breakers, receptacles, switches, GFCIs and common fixtures are on the truck, so most repairs are done the same visit.

Repair questions

Usually one of three things: the circuit is overloaded (too many loads on one 15 amp circuit, common in older Edmonton kitchens and basements), there is a short or ground fault in a device or cable, or the breaker itself has worn out. An AFCI or GFCI breaker can also trip on a nuisance condition. We test rather than guess.

A plate that is warm to the touch, discoloured or buzzing points to a loose or failing connection, which is how many house fires start. Turn the breaker off and have it looked at the same day.

Yes. The emergency line is answered 24 hours a day, every day, and a licensed electrician is generally on site in Edmonton within the hour. Non-urgent repairs can be booked for business hours at the standard rate.

Yes, and we see a lot of it. We will tell you plainly what is wrong, what is unsafe and what simply is not to code, then fix it with a permit where one is required.
