Repairs & maintenance FAQ
What counts as an electrical emergency in Vancouver?
Burning smells from outlets or the panel, visible sparking, scorched face-plates, exposed live wiring, water contact with electrical gear or a full power outage with buzzing are emergencies. Emergency response: 15-minute phone response, 2-hour on-site arrival in Vancouver.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
A breaker trips when a circuit draws more current than it's rated for (overload), when a hot wire contacts a ground or neutral (short) or when an arc fault or ground fault is detected. Persistent tripping is a symptom, not a nuisance, it needs a licensed diagnostic.
What is infrared thermal scanning?
Infrared scanning uses thermal cameras to identify hotspots in panels, breakers, busbars, lug connections and motor starters before they fail. LGD includes IR scans in quarterly, bi-annual and annual plans.
Do you offer electrical maintenance agreements?
Yes. Quarterly, bi-annual and annual preventive maintenance plans for Vancouver commercial buildings include panel inspection, infrared scanning, torque checks and priority emergency response with extended warranty coverage.
