Question 1

How do you design energy-efficient lighting solutions for different properties?

OKANA Electrical · Accepted Answer

We evaluate desired lighting levels, whether for security, aesthetics, convenience, etc. We then evaluate what type of LED fixtures would achieve these levels. If outside, we can add LED landscape lighting to complement existing outdoor building-mounted lights. It is nice to have up-lighting instead of typical soffit or wall sconce lighting. We usually use In-Lite landscape lighting systems.    We have our own lumen meter to evaluate existing light levels, so we can match or enhance with energy-efficient LED options. Our vendors can perform entire light level studies for arenas, commercial units, dealerships, warehouses, stables, etc. We assist with finding government rebates for LED retrofits where possible.

Question 2

How do you assist customers with obtaining the required electrical permits?

OKANA Electrical · Accepted Answer

We handle the entire Electrical Safety Authority permit process. We schedule and book all required inspections, including rough-in, trench and final inspections. Okana Electrical is a pre-authorized electrical contractor with the ESA due to our clean inspection record. This means we can move your project along quickly and provides confidence in our project execution.

Question 3

How do you handle electrical work for new construction projects?

OKANA Electrical · Accepted Answer

We coordinate with the ESA and the utility to ensure site services are properly planned. We can provide in house drawings with our in house Engineer. Okana Electrical ensures your project meets all of the latest codes outlined in the Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC) to make sure nothing is missed and no rework is required after finishes are applied. We make sure we meet the project timing to allow for other trades to continue on.

Due to the wide range of work, we cannot provide a cost range. Each job is evaluated independently and we are happy to provide free on-site consultations.

Question 8

How do you advise customers on electrical upgrades?

OKANA Electrical · Accepted Answer

We provide practical and the most cost-effective recommendations. We take into account customer budgets, future needs, and the latest and emerging technologies. We do not recommend things that are not needed like 200 Amp service upgrades unless absolutely necessary through load studies or calculations.

Question 9

Go Electrical Inc. · Accepted Answer

We offer LED lighting with ECO models, all which come with selectable wattage to reduce power consumption. Timers and smart switches are another level of control we offer so schedules can be set in a way that conserves energy usage while being consistent and predictable.

Question 12

How do you assist customers with obtaining the required electrical permits?

Go Electrical Inc. · Accepted Answer

We handle all permitting and administration with the Electrical Safety Authority. We pull the permit, do the job, speak to inspectors, and schedule the inspection on a day coordinated with the homeowner. You, as the customer, will receive a Certificate of Acceptance via email.

Question 13

How do you handle electrical work for new construction projects?

Go Electrical Inc. · Accepted Answer

We handle it in phases. We work through the drawings, noting any questions or concerns so we can have answers for most, if not all, pertinent questions. Next is rough-in, which consists of boxing, wiring, and cutting in. We also work through a plan to provide temporary lighting and power where applicable. Once the rough-in phase is passed with ESA and all drywall and painting is complete, we start the finishing process: plugs, switches, pot lights, low-voltage lighting and light fixtures, and final panel connections before we get ESA's final stamp of approval

Question 14

How many electrical projects do you successfully complete each year?

Go Electrical Inc. · Accepted Answer

We complete over 700 electrical projects each year.

Question 15

Do you offer a free on-site consultation before starting the electrical work?

Go Electrical Inc. · Accepted Answer

Yes, depending on the nature of the call, an on-site consultation is necessary to provide accurate pricing and to confirm the customer is satisfied with the plan, route, or overall finished product they are enlisting our services for. We walk through with the customer and discuss what the end goal is and offer solutions or options along with the potential cost of each decision so the customer can feel good about where they may want to spend the money and other areas where it makes sense to take a more cost-effective route while never sacrificing safety.

Question 16

What licenses and registrations does your electrical company hold in Stouffville?

Go Electrical Inc. · Accepted Answer

Our company holds an Electrical Contractor Licence issued by the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) in Ontario.

Question 17

What is the cost range for electrical services in Stouffville?

Go Electrical Inc. · Accepted Answer

As a proud Stouffville local, we’ve built our company around serving the Stouffville and Markham communities, and we take that responsibility seriously.  We believe in approaching every service call with honesty, fairness, and transparency. While we understand that a business needs to remain profitable to continue serving its customers, we also believe that pricing should reflect the work involved rather than simply applying a blanket call-out fee.  Our goal has always been to build lasting relationships within our community by being the local electricians people can trust, offering fair pricing, honest assessments, and quality workmanship. To us, that trust is far more valuable than any individual service call.

Question 18

How do you advise customers on electrical upgrades?

Go Electrical Inc. · Accepted Answer

We determine whether an upgrade is necessary and to what extent, depending on the needs or foreseen future needs of the home. Our foremost concern is safety. Old or shoddy wiring, broken devices, sloppy installs, outdated panels, and large new loads are all potential fire hazards in the worst case. Best case, it still leaves the homeowner dealing with nuisance problems, finding things in their home working inconsistently or unreliably. When we recommend an upgrade, the customer will be made aware of all the current and possible future issues and how the upgrade provides a solution to these problems.

Question 19

How do you dispose of old wiring and electrical components?

Go Electrical Inc. · Accepted Answer

We recycle all old wiring with a metal yard.

Question 20

What is the average response time for emergency electrical services?

Go Electrical Inc. · Accepted Answer

We pride ourselves on being responsive. We don't operate a  24-hour service; however, we do our utmost to make sure all customers are never left hanging or waiting for a response any later than the same day they have made a request
