Are Your Appliances on the Right Circuits? Here’s Why It Matters.
Ever plug in a microwave or air fryer and trip a breaker? Or notice your laundry machine dims the lights when it starts? These are signs your appliances might not be on the right circuits—and that can lead to both inconvenience and electrical risk.
That’s why our 20-Point Electrical Safety Inspection includes a dedicated Appliance Circuit Load Check, ensuring your major appliances are powered safely, efficiently, and to code.
What Is an Appliance Circuit Load Check?
Our skilled and licensed electricians will:
- Review which appliances are connected to which breakers
- Check for proper breaker sizing based on the appliance’s electrical demand
- Verify the presence of dedicated circuits for major appliances
- Look for signs of overloaded or shared circuits

Appliances we check include:
- Ovens and stovetops
- Fridges and freezers
- Dishwashers and garbage disposals
- Washers and dryers
- Microwaves

Why This Step Is So Important
Appliances pull a lot of power—and if they’re not on properly sized or dedicated circuits, you risk:
- Overheating wires behind your walls
- Breaker tripping and sudden power cuts
- Electrical fires from overloaded systems
- Damaged appliances or shortened lifespan
We want your systems to work hard—but only if they’re wired smart and wired safe.

Wicks Electric – Keeping Vancouver’s Power Smart, Safe, and Built to Last.
The Life-Saving Devices You Might Be Overlooking – Smoke & CO Detectors
When it comes to home safety, there’s nothing more important than your smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors. These small, often-forgotten devices are your first line of defense against fire and deadly gases—and we take them seriously.
As part of our 20-Point Electrical Safety Inspection, Wicks Electric performs a full Smoke and CO Detector Check to ensure your home is protected and up to code.
What We Do During This Inspection
Our skilled and licensed electricians will walk through your home or commercial space to:
- Test every smoke and CO detector for proper function
- Check battery backups or hardwired connections
- Confirm placement – at least one on every floor and in every bedroom
- Inspect for expiry dates – most detectors need to be replaced every 7-10 years
- Ensure proper installation height and spacing
If any detectors are missing, expired, or not working properly, we’ll recommend replacement and offer professional installation right then and there.
Why This Check Is Absolutely Essential
Smoke detectors save lives—but only when they work. Similarly, CO detectors are critical in homes with:
- Gas appliances
- Fireplaces
- Attached garages
- Furnaces or hot water heaters
Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and deadly. A properly placed and tested CO detector is your only early warning sign.
That’s why we never skip this step in our inspection—and neither should you.
Pro Tip: Interconnected Detectors
Want even more peace of mind? We can recommend interconnected smoke and CO detectors, so if one alarm goes off, they all do. It’s the safest, smartest system for families, rental units, and large homes.
Why Trust Wicks Electric?
As a top-rated electrician in Vancouver, Wicks Electric brings more than just tools—we bring care. We treat every home as if it were our own. Our clients count on us as their most trusted electricians because we’re thorough, honest, and always looking out for their safety.
Whether it’s a single detector or a full home retrofit, you can count on our reliable electricians to do it right.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. If you’re unsure when your detectors were last checked—or if they’re even working—let our trusted team of electricians in Vancouver BC take a look.

Dimming Isn’t Just About Mood – It’s About Comfort, Control, and Energy Savings
Ever walked into a room and thought, “It’s just too bright”? Or wished you could soften the lighting in your home for a cozier feel? You’re not alone—and that’s where dimming systems come in.
As part of our 20-Point Electrical Safety Inspection, we include a Dimming Assessment to help homeowners and business owners across Vancouver make the most of their lighting—safely and efficiently.
Why We Assess Dimming Needs
Our skilled and licensed electricians don’t just check what you already have—we also help you think ahead. During your inspection, we’ll walk through key areas of your home or business to assess where dimming could:
- Reduce energy usage
- Create ambiance or flexibility
- Improve comfort in spaces like bedrooms, dining areas, living rooms, and media rooms
- Protect sensitive eyes (especially in nurseries or work-from-home zones)
And if your existing dimmers are outdated, buzzing, or flickering, we’ll recommend updated smart dimmer installations that are code-compliant and compatible with LED lighting.
The Energy Efficiency Advantage
Dimmers aren’t just for style—they’re a smart choice for anyone looking to reduce energy consumption. Even a small adjustment in light levels can lower electricity use and extend the life of your bulbs.
Our team specializes in energy-efficient lighting solutions in Vancouver, and we’ll always help you find the right setup for your space and your goals.
Thinking Smart? We’ve Got You Covered.
Looking to go beyond a basic wall dimmer? We’re certified in RadioRA3 smart lighting systems—a cutting-edge solution that lets you control your lighting from your phone, tablet, or smart device.
Whether you want to schedule dimming, sync your lights with sunrise and sunset, or create one-touch “moods” in every room, we’ll walk you through your options with no pressure—just honest advice from a top-rated electrician in Vancouver.
When Do You Need a Dimming Upgrade?
- You’re still using old rotary-style dimmers
- Your lights flicker or hum when dimmed
- You’ve switched to LED bulbs and they’re not dimming properly
- You want more control and flexibility from your lighting
- You’re doing a home renovation or just looking for modern convenience
