Who Should I Call For My Electrical Repair?
#1 Storm Damage Electrical Repair Service
Thunderstorms and ice storms are two of the most common and widespread forms of severe weather that take place in Ottawa. Lightning, wind, and downed tree branches alone can cause many storm-related problems affecting homeowners. But who is responsible for making sure your power comes back on without failing? Well, the utility company is only responsible for the power cable that extends from the power pole to the point of service on your home or business. However, if the point of attachment is the service mast, then the repair is the home owner’s responsibility.
When repair issues fall on the shoulders of owners, APEX is equipped to get your power running again without worry. We will make the repairs needed, re-attach the utility line, and get your power back up in no time. If your electricity was affected by storm damage, give us a call today to schedule an appointment.

What to Do If You See Downed Power Lines
Stay Safe!
With storms bringing the possibilities of downed power lines, it is important to know what to do in case this unfortunate event happens.
If You See Downed Power Lines:
- Do not go near downed lines or fallen wires.
- Stay away from anything touching downed lines (tree limbs, vehicles, puddles, etc.).
- If someone already made contact with a power line, do not try to rescue them. You can’t help if you become a victim. Call 911.
- Report downed power lines
Keep Your Distance From Objects Near Overhead Lines:
- Metal objects like fences and guardrails can become energized if a power line contacts them.
- Do not attempt to remove tree limbs from power lines.
- The ground may be energized near a downed line.
- Standing water (puddles from flooding) may be energized by a downed line.
- Parked vehicles may be energized from a downed line.

Electrical Repairs That May Need to Be Made After A Storm
Don't Hesitate to Call!
Whenever a storm passes through Ottawa, many homes suffer from damage of all kinds. Unfortunately, this also includes electrical repairs. Once bad weather hits and power lines are at risk, homeowners must make sure to give our professionals at APEX a call to repair any downed or damaged power lines.
So, what possible repairs should I be prepared to call about during a storm?
Electrical Panels – Your electrical panel is the hub of your electricity in your home and where all of the circuit breakers are located. If your panel malfunctions after a storm, it may have been struck by lightning or compromised. Homeowners should always contact an electrician to repair their electrical panel anytime it is damaged. A malfunctioning electrical panel can create a fire hazard and put you in danger if you try to repair it yourself.
Electrical Surges – Lightning storms and wind storms cause many power lines to short out or even fall, which can cause electrical surges. If your home has been damaged by an electrical surge, you’ll want to contact your electrician. Once the professional arrives, they will also inspect your home for any damaged wires or fire hazards that may have been created from the power surge. Homeowners may never recognize this internal damage until it is too late, so it is critical to request the help of an electrician if an electrical power surge damages your home.
Electrical Inspections – After storms pass through, many homeowners require electrical inspections to determine the extent of damages of their home. Their insurance companies often require these inspections in order to determine the cost of repairs needed. Thankfully, with the help of our APEX electricians, you will be put at ease with our experience and our ability to work with your insurance company.
Generator Installations – In order to prepare for storms, many Ottawa homeowners actually have generators installed to avoid losing power completely. With a new generator, you do not have to worry about being left in the dark during a storm.
