What is re-devicing, exactly?

Re-devicing is the process of replacing old or damaged electrical components—like outlets, switches, or dimmers—with new, safe, code-compliant ones.

How do I know if a device needs to be replaced?

Signs include buzzing, heat, discoloration, sparking, or devices that don’t consistently work. These are red flags that need professional attention.

Is this only for older homes?

No. Even newer builds can suffer from poorly installed or low-quality devices. We inspect properties of any age for safety and performance.

Can you match the existing style or color?

Absolutely. We carry standard white, black, and ivory devices, and we can order specialty finishes to keep your look consistent.

How long does a typical repair visit take?

Most individual repairs take under 30 minutes. For whole-home sweeps, we’ll give you a clear timeline during your quote.

Re-Devicing Repairs | Vernon, BC

Worn-out outlets. Flickering switches. Power where it shouldn’t be—or none where it should. These are more than annoyances. Faulty devices can cause shocks, short circuits, and even fires. At Unity and Light Electric Inc, we offer professional re-devicing repairs for homes, commercial buildings, and agricultural operations across the North Okanagan. Our LEL-licensed electricians remove compromised components and install safe, code-compliant replacements designed to last. We troubleshoot at the panel and at each device to identify the root issue before making repairs. Whether it’s a single outlet or a full building sweep, you can count on us to get the job done right.

Over time, plugs, switches, and dimmers wear out or loosen, leading to arcing, buzzing, and unreliable performance. These small failures can cause damage to your wiring—or worse. Unity and Light Electric offers expert re-devicing that not only fixes the immediate problem but also strengthens your entire system. We source high-quality materials, test everything before we leave, and ensure your devices meet modern electrical code requirements. If you’ve just moved into an older building or your outlets look discolored, it’s time for a full assessment. Protect your appliances, your family, and your property with reliable repairs from trusted pros.

From kitchen counters to workshop benches, the way you use your space matters. That’s why our repairs are never cookie-cutter.
