Electrician in Dartmouth
Home base, and the shortest drive on the list.
Home Style Electric has worked out of Dartmouth since 2009. A lot of the housing here went up either just after the war or through the sixties and seventies, which means fuse panels still in service, 60 amp mains that were generous in 1965, and aluminum branch wiring waiting on an insurance letter. Being based in town is also why the small jobs are still worth doing — a single dead outlet is a short drive, not an afternoon.
What gets booked in Dartmouth
Fuse panel to breaker panel
Panel changes
If the basement still has a fuse box, your insurer has probably mentioned it and so will a buyer. Replacing it with a modern breaker panel is the work this shop is best known for.

Electrical service upgrades
Older Dartmouth and Halifax houses were wired for a fraction of what a family now plugs in. Adding a heat pump or a hot tub usually means moving up to a 200 amp service first.

Aluminum wiring pigtailing
Houses wired in the late 1960s and early 1970s often have aluminum branch wiring, and insurers now require it pigtailed before they will write a policy. Nova Scotia Power inspects the work and issues the certificate.

The small jobs
One dead outlet. A switch that buzzes. A fixture nobody could reach. This is the work the company was built on, and it still gets booked.

Booking work in Dartmouth
Small jobs Jamie will book in and do. For a panel change or a service upgrade he comes and looks first. Either way, tell him roughly when the house was built and what is in the panel now.
