GFCI Outlet Guide: What It Does, Where It Goes and TR Ratings
A GFCI outlet looks like any other receptacle with two buttons added, but it does a very different job. Here is how it detects a ground fault, where ESA says Ontario homes need one, what the TR marking means, and how to tell when a unit has stopped protecting you.

A dead outlet may have nothing wrong with it. The cause can be a GFCI reset button in another room, a wall switch, or a breaker that tripped without looking tripped. Here is the order to check them in, and the signs that mean it is time for an electrician.

One flickering lamp usually comes down to the bulb or its dimmer. Lights flickering across several rooms point further back, to a connection, the service or the utility. Here is how to tell them apart and who to call for each.
Read the guideFrequently Asked Questions
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. KV Bear Electrical holds ECRA/ESA licence #7014730, issued by the Electrical Safety Authority of Ontario. We are fully insured, with liability coverage and WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) coverage. You can check our licence yourself on the ESA website.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes. Every quote for residential electrical work is free, with no obligation. We visit your home, look over the job and give you a detailed written estimate before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
What areas do you serve?
We serve 29 communities across Ontario, including Cobourg, Port Hope, Peterborough, Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Bowmanville, Toronto, Scarborough and Vaughan. The full list is on our Areas We Serve page.
How quickly can you start a job?
It depends on the job and on the schedule when you call, so your written quote includes a start date. Urgent electrical problems get priority booking during business hours (Monday to Friday 7am to 6pm, Saturday 8am to 2pm). For a fire, call 911. For a power outage or a downed line, call your local utility.
Do you pull permits for electrical work?
Yes. Any job that needs a permit under the Ontario Electrical Safety Code gets one, filed through the ESA. When the work is complete, you receive an ESA Certificate of Acceptance. That certificate matters for insurance and when you sell the house.
Can you help with insurance requirements for aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring?
Yes. We regularly help homeowners sort out wiring problems that affect insurance eligibility. That might mean pigtailing for aluminum wiring or a full removal of knob-and-tube. Either way, we provide the documentation your insurer needs.
