Garry and his team were a pleasure to work with from start to finishâ€”responsive communication, great attention to detail, and a clear commitment to quality. Our basement project turned out beautifully. Weâ€™ve already saved Garryâ€™s number and look forward to working with him on many future projects.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our local church has dealt with Viar Bros for over 20 years, we had our system vandalized 3 times since January 2025. Viar has repaired and replaced the Freon each time and have always changed us a fair price. A couple of years ago we had them replace our heating system they did and awesome job quickly and efficiently. If you need an HVAC Tech give these folks a call.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about electrical repairs, panel upgrades, or wiring projects? Here are answers to common questions local homeowners ask before booking. If you have an urgent issue or need a quick estimate, contact our team today we’re always happy to help.

How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be upgraded?

Common indicators include frequently tripping breakers, flickering or dimming lights when major appliances turn on, a buzzing sound from the breaker box, or relying heavily on power strips and extension cords in older homes.

How long does a standard electrical panel replacement take?

A typical residential electrical panel upgrade (e.g., upgrading from 100-amp to 200-amp service) usually takes about 4 to 8 hours to complete, including local utility coordination and safety testing.

Why do my lights flicker when high-power appliances run?

Flickering lights often happen when heavy appliances (like air conditioners, heat pumps, or clothes dryers) draw a large initial surge of electricity. If it happens constantly, it may signal an overloaded circuit or loose panel connections.

Are your electrical services licensed, insured, and code-compliant?

Yes. Every repair, installation, and wiring project we perform is completed by fully licensed, insured electricians and adheres strictly to the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) and local building standards.

Can you install dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances and EV chargers?

Yes! We install custom dedicated 240V circuits designed specifically for Level 2 EV home chargers, hot tubs, HVAC equipment, electric ranges, and heavy garage machinery to ensure safe, code-compliant operation.

What should I do if an outlet stops working or sparks?

If an outlet sparks, smells burning, or shows discoloration, turn off the power to that circuit at your breaker box immediately and stop using it. Contact a licensed electrician to inspect for loose wiring, overloading, or arcing.

Do you provide electrical inspections for older homes or real estate sales?

Absolutely. We offer thorough safety inspections to evaluate overall panel health, identify outdated or unsafe wiring (like knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring), and verify code compliance before you buy, sell, or renovate.

What is a GFCI outlet, and where are they required?

GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets protect against electrical shocks by instantly shutting off power if a moisture or ground fault is detected. Modern building codes require them in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, garages, and outdoor locations.
