Electrical Code Compliance: Staying Ahead of Regulations
Electrical systems must adhere to strict guidelines to ensure safety and efficiency. At Astra Energy Ltd., we meticulously follow the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and all relevant Ontario-specific standards to guarantee compliance.
Why Electrical Code Compliance Matters:
- Prevents Hazards: Outdated or improperly installed systems can lead to fires, electrocution, or costly outages.
- Insurance Requirements: Most insurance companies require code-compliant electrical systems for coverage.
- Avoiding Fines: Non-compliance can result in penalties and costly corrective measures.
Whether you’re upgrading your home with Smart Home Automation or enhancing a commercial property’s energy infrastructure, our compliance expertise ensures your investment is secure.

Electrical Safety Inspections: Identifying and Mitigating Risks
Proactive inspections are one of the most effective ways to prevent electrical hazards. Our licensed electricians perform detailed assessments, including:
- Testing circuits for overloads or faults.
- Inspecting wiring, outlets, and panels for wear or damage.
- Ensuring grounding systems meet safety standards.
When Should You Schedule an Inspection?
- Before purchasing a property to identify potential hazards.
- After a major storm to check for damage.
- For older homes with wiring installed over 30 years ago.
Pairing inspections with services like Circuit Installation & Upgrades ensures your system is not only safe but optimized for modern energy demands.
