Why Are We Doing This?
Kingston is full of beautiful older homes. We work in them every day. And we regularly find panels that are decades past their best before date, fuse boxes with the wrong size fuses, breaker panels from manufacturers no longer in business, and systems that were never designed to power a modern home. Most homeowners have no idea what is behind that door. They flip the switch and hope for the best. We understand that completely. But we are in a position to help. And this is one way we can give something real back to the community we have been proud to serve for years. One upgraded panel. One safer Kingston home. AFCI breakers that actively detect dangerous arcing before it becomes a fire. That matters to us.

What Is an AFCI Breaker?
A standard breaker protects your home from overloads and short circuits. An Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter goes further. It detects dangerous electrical arcing inside your walls, the kind that causes house fires, and shuts the circuit down before a fire can start. The Ontario Electrical Safety Code now requires AFCI protection in new construction. Older homes almost never have it. The winner of this contest will.
