Halifax Electrical Services
From emergency repairs to panel upgrades and rewiring, GEM handles every electrical need in your Halifax home.
Emergency repairs, planned upgrades, generator installation. Our licensed electricians deliver code-compliant work. Here’s what we provide:
Emergency Electrical
Electrical emergencies demand immediate action.
Sparking outlets, burning smells, complete power loss. These situations require professional response, not waiting until morning. Our licensed electricians answer emergency calls 24/7 across Halifax. We arrive quickly, identify the problem, and make your home safe. Main breaker failures, scorched outlets, unexplained outages. We handle urgent electrical situations when they happen.
Electrical Repair
Daily use creates wear that eventually shows as flickering lights, unreliable outlets, or tripping breakers.
Switches wear out. Connections loosen over time. What starts as flickering lights becomes unreliable outlets, then tripped breakers. Our electricians trace issues to their origin and resolve them properly so problems don’t return.
Electrical Installation
New electrical work requires expertise, precision, and code compliance.
Adding circuits, upgrading panels, installing fixtures. Correct installation demands professional knowledge and careful execution. We install circuits, panels, fixtures, and equipment following current codes. Work passes inspection and performs reliably.
Electrical Maintenance
Routine maintenance identifies small issues before they develop into safety hazards.
Electrical systems experience wear that affects performance. Connections loosen, components age. Leaving minor problems unaddressed raises risk. Scheduled maintenance catches problems early. Our electricians inspect thoroughly, tighten connections, test components, and verify safety standards.
Standby Generators
Power outages affect residential areas, and generators keep essential systems running.
When storms knock out power, your well pump, refrigerator, heating system, and sump pump all need electricity. Generators provide that security.
- Generator Repair: Generator problems need attention before the next outage. Starting issues, inadequate output, unusual sounds. We diagnose and correct problems.
- Generator Replacement: Generators lose reliability with age. When yours struggles to start or can’t handle current demands, upgrading delivers better performance and fuel efficiency.
- Generator Maintenance: Annual service confirms reliability. Oil changes, battery testing, connection inspection, load verification. Everything checked before storm season.
- Generator Installation: We size generators to power your home’s critical systems during outages, including well pumps where applicable. Complete installation, permitting, and testing.
Lighting Services
Proper lighting enhances both safety and enjoyment of your Halifax property.
We design and install lighting systems matched to your needs. Task lighting where you work, ambient lighting where you relax, security lighting where visibility matters.
- Outdoor Lighting: Driveway lighting, walkway illumination, landscape accents, security fixtures. Weather-resistant outdoor lighting for Halifax properties.
- Indoor Lighting: Recessed fixtures, pendant lights, under-cabinet LEDs, dimmer controls. Interior lighting that complements your home and improves how each space functions.

Additional Electrical Services
Electrical Panel Upgrades
Your panel distributes power to every circuit in your home.
Older panels weren’t designed for today’s electrical demands. Breakers trip constantly, lights dim when appliances run. Some older panel brands carry documented safety risks. Panel upgrades bring your system to current code with adequate capacity. We also service existing panels, replace failing breakers, and add circuits when needed.
Smart Home Services
Control your home’s systems from your phone or through voice commands.
Smart thermostats, automated lighting, video doorbells, connected locks. These conveniences simplify daily life and can reduce energy costs. We install and configure smart technology, ensuring devices communicate properly and your electrical system supports them adequately.
EV Chargers
Home charging makes electric vehicle ownership practical for Halifax drivers.
Level 2 chargers add 25-30 miles of range hourly. Full charges overnight instead of waiting at public stations. We evaluate panel capacity, run dedicated circuits, and position chargers conveniently for your garage or driveway.
Heat Cabling Systems
Electric heat cables prevent costly winter damage.
Ice dams damage roofs and cause leaks. Pipes in exterior walls freeze and burst. Heat cables address both problems effectively. We install roof and gutter cables that prevent ice accumulation, plus pipe heat cables that keep water flowing during cold snaps. Thermostatic controls activate only when needed.
Carbon Monoxide & Smoke Detectors
These devices save lives, but only when they function properly.
Dead batteries, expired sensors, poor placement render lifesaving devices useless. We install hardwired smoke and CO detectors with battery backup. Units interconnect so one alarm triggers all. Placement follows code requirements for complete coverage.
Rewiring & Wiring Installation
Older homes often contain wiring that cannot safely meet modern electrical loads.
Flickering lights, frequently tripped breakers, warm outlets indicate systems needing attention. Rewiring requires careful planning and skilled execution. We update wiring room by room or handle whole-house projects, protecting finishes while bringing everything to current code.
Outlets
Modern households need more outlets positioned throughout living spaces.
Two-prong outlets can’t accept grounded plugs. Kitchens and baths require GFCI protection. Home offices need dedicated circuits. We install outlets where needed, upgrade old receptacles, add GFCI and AFCI protection where code requires, and replace worn outlets that won’t hold plugs.
Surge Protector Services
Storm activity and grid fluctuations expose Halifax homes to damaging power surges.
Computers, TVs, smart appliances, HVAC equipment with electronic controls. A surge lasting milliseconds destroys them. Power strips provide limited protection. Panel-mounted surge protectors intercept spikes before they reach equipment. We install whole-home protection for comprehensive defense.

Halifax Electrical FAQs
Do you install generators for homes with well pumps?
Yes. When power fails, well pumps stop and so does your water supply. We size generators to power well pumps along with other essential systems.
How do I know if my panel needs upgrading?
Frequent breaker trips, inability to add circuits, or panels containing obsolete equipment like Federal Pacific or Zinsco breakers all indicate upgrade needs. We can assess your situation.
Is whole-home surge protection worth it?
Yes, especially in residential areas where power fluctuations occur. Surge protection costs far less than replacing damaged electronics and appliances.
How often should electrical systems be inspected?
Annual inspections catch developing problems. Home Comfort Club members receive regular safety checks as part of their membership.
Do you provide same-day service to Halifax?
Yes. Same-day appointments are available for most calls. Halifax receives the same responsive service as any community in our territory.
