Another hot tub ready for summer.

Had a service call last week of a septic tank pump receptacle with no power. The weather proof enclosure originally had a gfci receptacle inside that was tripped and unable to be reset due to gfci failure. We don't recommend a gfci for your septic pump for the following reason.
#1 When hidden inside the weatherproof enclosure you won't know it has tripped until your high level alarm goes off or the tank overflows. We replaced the receptacle and also duct sealed the conduit leading out to the tank. This keeps moisture from migrating back into the junction box that can lead to premature corrosion on the receptacle and conductors. We'll always fix the problem and go the extra mile to correct anything else we see that's a hazard.

Another clean and compact install by BW Electric ⚡
With no remaining space in the main panel, this Square D sub panel fit perfectly in the little space I had to work with. The new septic system needed a dedicated pump circuit, and we also added a panel plug for the high level alarm.
Sometimes the best part of the job is finding a clean solution when space is limited — and making it look like it was always meant to be there.

Replaced this original construction bathroom fan with a new fan/ light combo. A little trip up into the attic to reroute the electrical and connect the ducting properly.

A quick electrical safety tip:

Everyone likes a good deal, or the newest gadget on Amazon. One thing that no one thinks about, is this new light fixture, or thermostat, or smart plug Certified for use in Canada. Before you click that order button do a little research and make sure that it has one of the designations below that are approved for use in Canada and specifically Nova Scotia. If it doesn't and comes to an investigation for something like a fire etc... you may not be covered by insurance, If they determine the equipment isn't approved for use in Canada. Take that extra few minutes and make sure, it may save you a huge headache later. And always use a fully licensed and insured electrician!

Nova Scotia Labour and Advanced Education promotes safety in construction by ensuring electrical installations are done safely and by properly qualified people.
