Service Calls & Electrical Repairs in the West Island
Experienced troubleshooting and everyday electrical work—completed carefully and efficiently.
From flickering lights and dead outlets to fixture installation and dedicated equipment connections, Electrilex arrives prepared to diagnose the problem and complete many residential service calls during the first visit.

The diagnosis is part of the work
The visible problem is not always the source
Flickering lights, a dead receptacle or a tripping breaker can have several causes. The fault may be at the visible device, elsewhere on the circuit, inside a junction box, at the panel or in connected equipment.
Finding the source requires experience, proper testing tools, systematic troubleshooting and deep residential knowledge. We follow the circuit, test affected components and consider previous alterations before recommending the repair.
We do not guess and replace parts. We diagnose, explain and repair.

Find the cause behind the symptom
Common electrical problems we diagnose
These symptoms can have several causes. The correct repair begins with testing.
Flickering or dimming lights
Loose connections, failing components, circuit loading or supply issues may be involved. We test before recommending a correction.
Dead outlets and switches
The fault may be at the device or elsewhere on the circuit. We trace the loss of power and restore safe operation where possible.
Repeatedly tripping breakers
Overloads, equipment faults, damaged wiring or breaker problems can cause repeated trips. Repeated resetting is not a repair.
Warm outlets or burning smell
Stop using the affected equipment and turn off the circuit if safe. Smoke or fire requires emergency services; electrical investigation follows once the area is safe.
GFCI or AFCI problems
We diagnose devices that trip, fail to reset or no longer provide proper protection, then verify the affected circuit.
Older electrical panels
Older fuse panels and brands such as Sylvania or Federal Pioneer Stab-Lok deserve assessment of condition, compatibility and capacity.
EV charger problems
Charging interruptions, tripping or overheating may involve the charger, connections, conductor sizing or load management.
Aluminum-wiring concerns
Loose, altered or incompatible connections require an approved correction method based on the actual wiring condition.
