From motor faults to control system glitches, here are the problems facility teams call us about most often.
A motor that trips repeatedly usually points to a winding fault, a failing bearing drawing excess current, or a breaker sized incorrectly for the motor's startup load. Continuing to reset the breaker without diagnosing the cause risks a complete motor burnout. We test the motor and circuit together to find the actual source.
Intermittent power loss on running equipment often traces back to a loose terminal connection or a failing contactor that isn't making full contact every cycle. Left alone, an intermittent fault typically worsens into a complete failure at the worst possible moment. We trace the circuit under load to catch the fault while it's happening.
A control panel giving inconsistent output usually means a wiring fault, a failed input/output module, or a power supply issue feeding the controller rather than a programming problem. Misdiagnosing this as a software issue wastes time and delays the real fix. We check the electrical side first since it's the more common cause.
Downtime with no obvious cause often comes from a marginal electrical connection that only fails under specific load or temperature conditions. This kind of intermittent issue is genuinely hard to catch without proper diagnostic equipment. We use load testing and thermal imaging to find faults that don't show up during a visual inspection.
A burning smell near electrical equipment is one of the clearest signs of an overloaded circuit or a failing connection generating heat. This is a genuine fire and safety hazard that should never wait for a scheduled visit. We treat this as an emergency call and isolate the affected circuit immediately.
Uneven motor performance or overheating frequently signals a phase imbalance somewhere upstream in the electrical distribution feeding the motor. Running a motor under sustained imbalance shortens its lifespan considerably. We measure phase voltages and currents to locate the imbalance before it damages the motor.
New machinery needs a properly sized circuit, correct disconnect, and full load testing before it goes into regular production use. Skipping proper testing risks discovering a wiring problem only after the equipment is already running critical work. We wire, test, and verify new equipment before signing off.
A pattern of small recurring electrical fixes across a facility often points to an aging distribution system rather than a string of unrelated coincidences. Continuing to patch individual failures usually costs more over a year than addressing the root system issue. We assess the pattern honestly and recommend whether targeted repairs or a broader upgrade makes more sense.
Different equipment manufacturers wire and configure their control systems differently, and an electrician unfamiliar with a specific brand can waste hours relearning the layout. Our electricians bring broad exposure across common industrial equipment brands from working across many facilities. We confirm brand familiarity before dispatching for specialized equipment.
Our conveyor motor kept tripping and our own maintenance team couldn't figure out why. The electrician from Electrical Services Ontario traced it to a failing contactor within twenty minutes. Wish we'd called sooner.
A compressor motor died on a Sunday afternoon and we were losing production every hour it sat. The electrician arrived within two hours, diagnosed a burnt winding, and had a temporary fix running by evening.
The troubleshooting on our PLC-connected line was more involved than the initial phone estimate suggested, so it ran about an hour over. The electrician explained exactly what he was checking at each step, which made the extra time feel justified.
I appreciated that the electrician from Electrical Services Ontario walked our team through the lockout procedure before starting, not just for himself but so we understood it too. Felt like working with someone who takes safety seriously, not just going through motions.
We had intermittent motor failures for months and nobody could pin down why. Turned out to be a phase imbalance from a loose connection at the panel. Fixed in one visit and the failures stopped completely.
I expected a repair quote but the electrician was straightforward that the motor windings were too far gone to save. Electrical Services Ontario gave us options instead of pushing an expensive repair that wouldn't have lasted.

Tell us what is happening — no power, a breaker that will not reset, or a planned upgrade. We talk it through and book a time that works for you, including same-day for urgent calls.
A licensed electrician looks at the actual panel, circuit, and load rather than quoting over the phone, then gives you a firm written price with the scope set out line by line.
The electrician who quoted the job does the work. Drop sheets go down, permits are filed where the work calls for it, and you get an update before anything changes from the plan.
Every circuit is tested before we close the panel, the inspection is booked and the certificate handed over, and our labour is warrantied for two years.
