Installing a Heat Pump? Check Your Electrical First

Most heat pumps and mini splits need their own circuit, and some homes need a panel upgrade to support one. We review your panel and existing wiring before installation day, so your HVAC contractor isn’t delayed by an electrical surprise.

We work alongside HVAC installers across HRM. If you already have a contractor, we coordinate directly with them.

Signs Your Home May Need Rewiring

Older or damaged wiring can put your home at risk. Watch for these warning signs to know when to have your electrical system inspected by a qualified electrician.

  • Breakers that trip regularly
  • Lights that flicker or dim when appliances start
  • Outlets or switches that feel warm
  • Two-prong outlets or missing grounding
  • Burning smells or scorch marks near outlets or the panel
  • Knob and tube or aluminum wiring
  • An insurer or home inspector flagging your wiring

Burning smells, sparking or scorch marks are emergencies. Shut off the affected circuit if it is safe to do so, and call us right away.
