11 · Thursday, August 12, 2010 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.oakvillebeaver.com ADVERTORIAL Electrical system checks keep homes from `flaming out' BIRNIE ELECTRIC is your home's first line of defense. Many of us have experienced lights that flicker from time to time and outlets that randomly short out. Maybe it's that extra fridge in the garage, or the home entertainment centre in the basement. Often, we just chalk it up to the quirks of living in an older home, and don't give it a second thought. This could be a recipe for disaster. Each year 7,000 residential electrical fires occur nationwide, causing deaths and millions of dollars in damages, not to mention the inconvenience of being uprooted from one's home and the loss of personal history. Most of these fires were preventable. How? "By getting home electrical systems professionally inspected," says Tim Birnie, President of BIRNIE ELECTRIC, one of the GTA's oldest and most trusted electrical contractors. "You service your car. Why wouldn't you get your often-overloaded home electrical system inspected?" asks Birnie. BIRNIE ELECTRIC offers CurrentSAFE, the industry-leading service that utilizes state-of-the-art infrared and ultrasonic equipment to uncover hidden electrical problems. A CurrentSAFE customer recently had this to say: "We can now be at ease knowing that all the potential electrical hazards in our home have been identified."
