Power Up with Confidence: EV Charger Inspection by Vancouver’s Most Trusted Electricians

August 27, 2025/in Blog/by Marianne Bernardo

As electric vehicles become more popular in Vancouver, having a safe and reliable charging setup at home is more important than ever. At Wicks Electric, our skilled and licensed electricians are here to make sure your EV charger is installed correctly, inspected thoroughly, and ready to power your drive with confidence.

Why EV Charger Inspections Matter

An EV charger is not just another outlet—it’s a dedicated power system that needs to be installed with precision. Over time, connections can loosen, wires can wear, and chargers can experience issues that may lead to overheating or charging failures. Regular inspections from a reliable electrician ensure that your charger is working at its best and keeping your vehicle safe.

What We Look For During an EV Charger Inspection

Our trusted team of electricians in Vancouver BC performs a complete assessment of your EV charging system, including:

Connection Safety – Checking for loose or corroded wiring that could cause overheating.
Circuit Load Verification – Making sure your charger is on the right breaker and that your electrical panel can handle the load.
Proper Grounding & Bonding – Ensuring your system is safe and compliant with Canadian electrical code.
Future-Proofing – Recommending upgrades such as a 240-volt circuit if you’re planning for a new or faster EV charger.

Why Exterior Outlets and Circuits Matter for Your Home’s Safety

August 25, 2025/in Blog/by Marianne Bernardo

When it comes to keeping your home safe and functional, most people focus on the inside. But as the Top rated electricians in Vancouver, we know that what happens outside your home matters just as much. At Wicks Electric, our skilled and licensed electricians pay close attention to exterior outlets and exterior circuits—a detail that’s often overlooked, yet critical for safety and convenience.

What We Check During Our 20-Point Electrical Inspection

As part of our comprehensive inspection, we make sure that every exterior outlet and circuit is in proper working order. Here’s what our top-rated electricians in Vancouver look for:

Covers and Weatherproofing – Outdoor outlets are exposed to rain, wind, and snow. We inspect covers to ensure they are secure, weatherproof, and up to code. If your outlets don’t have in-use bubble covers, we’ll recommend adding them for year-round protection.
GFCI Function – Exterior outlets should always be GFCI-protected. This prevents electrical shock when outlets are exposed to moisture. Our reliable electricians test each outlet to confirm it trips and resets properly.
Hot Tubs, Pools, and Saunas – If your home has a hot tub, pool, or sauna, we make sure all exterior circuits and wiring are safe, secure, and able to handle the load. Nothing ruins relaxation faster than electrical issues—or worse, safety hazards.
Wiring Integrity – We carefully review exterior wiring for wear, damage, or unsafe connections. Any concerns are flagged right away with recommendations for repair or upgrade.

Why This Matters

Exterior outlets power some of the most important features of your home—holiday lights, landscaping, garden tools, outdoor kitchens, and more. Ensuring these circuits are safe protects not only your property but also your family.
