Reinforcements have arrived!
Five weeks on the road! Summer 2022.
People often ask why electrical work is so expensive, this is what $1500 looks like in May 2022.
Getting ready for the implementation of the new 2021 code for Ontario. Comes into effect 1 May 2022. Code update training with the ESA and in-house for the crews.
Make sure your electrical contractor stays current (excuse the pun) with the most up-to-date codes!
The things you find when the cabinets are removed from a previous DIY kitchen reno... what would it take to cut some drywall and drill some holes... really.
Not sure what people are thinking with DIY electrical. Please call a Licensed Electrical Contractor. Esa HomeandSafety
An early start to the annual... I had my 1500 watt heater plugged into the power bar season!
Remember most electric heaters need a dedicated 15 amp or 20 amp circuit and they should not be plugged into power bars or extension cords!
Lets stay safe!
On-going education is always important, so one of the ways we keep current (excuse the pun) is by using ESA new podcasts that support electrical safety in Ontario.
The ESA's first episode is regarding pools and hot tubs.
Ask your electrical contractor how they are keeping up with the ever-changing rules and codes.

It's summertime which means being inundated with calls for pools and hot tub installations! Are you up to Code?

ESA Launches New Tool For Reporting Unlicensed Electrical Work Anonymously!
MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, July 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ESA is excited to let you know that we have just launched a NEW online form to make it easier for you to report unlicensed individuals performing electrical work.
What do you need to do? It’s easy! Visit esasafe.com, and click on “Report Unlicensed Activity” to fill out the fields and submit a report.
When making a report, you can choose to remain anonymous. All information submitted will be reviewed, regardless of whether or not personal information is provided. However, while you can remain anonymous, the more information you provide such as address and details on the work being done, the more likely we will be able to follow-up on your report.
Together, we can improve electrical safety in Ontario and help ensure a level playing field for the more than 8,500 licensed electrical contractors like you who operate within the provincial licensing system for electrical work.

Carbon Monoxide week in Ontario is not until November, but posting this now will give us a chance to practice the lyrics and be ready!
Thanks to our friends at Gas Networks Ireland for creating a fun song that young people can learn to get the message!
In case you are not up on your Irish accent, here is the lyrics to help you out:
Lyrics:
“Coal, turf, oil, gas, even wood,
Any fuel can harm,
So get yourself a carbon monoxide alarm.
And not just any alarm now,
It has to make a beep
So if you’re in yer scratcher, it’ll wake yeh from yer sleep.
It hasn’t a colour, it hasn’t a smell,
CARBON MONOXIDE IS LETHAL AS HELL!
Even a little can make you unwell
Oh carbon monoxide is despreh’.
Always keep your boiler in
Excellent condition
By gettin it serviced once a year be a registered technician.
Get your chimbly swept, folks,
Annually too
Or carbon monoxide could be the death of you.
It hasn’t a colour, it hasn’t a smell,
CARBON MONOXIDE IS LETHAL AS HELL!
Even a little can make you unwell
Oh carbon monoxide is despreh’.
I’m not out to scare yiz, folks,
Cause worry, stress or strife.
But nobody can put a price on savin a life.
So keep them flues and vents clear
No matter the occasion
Cos many’s the life that has been lost to blocked-up ventilation.
Now I’m headin south for Winter
To a gaff in Mizen Head
So in me absence please make sure yiz never wake up dead...
It hasn’t a colour, it hasn’t a smell,
CARBON MONOXIDE IS LETHAL AS HELL!
Even a little can make you unwell
Oh carbon monoxide is despreh’.”
