Walker Electrical

🎡 The Norfolk County Fair is fast approaching, which means hot tub sales are just around the corner!

And we all know someone who loves a good deal and an impulse purchase 😂

But before you get caught up in the excitement of a great sale and bring home a hot tub, there are a few things worth thinking about first.

⚡ Did you know there’s a new code requirement involving a bonding ring for hot tub installations?

The bonding ring needs to be taken into consideration before the concrete slab is poured, so it’s something you’ll want to know about before getting too far into your plans.

A few other things to think about:

Can your electrical panel handle the extra load?
Do you have room for the required breaker?
Where are you planning to put the hot tub, and how will it be powered?

A hot tub might seem like a pretty straightforward purchase, but there’s a bit more to getting it set up than just finding the perfect one on sale!

So if a hot tub is on your Norfolk County Fair shopping list this year, keep these things in mind before you make that impulse buy. 😉

A little planning beforehand can save you some surprises down the road!

And if you do bring home that hot tub, Walker Electrical can get you all set up. Give us a call if you’d like more info 💡

Walker Electrical will be away for vacation and will be returning all messages August 27! 💡

What we’ve been up to recently:

Last week we upgraded this home from 100A to 200A.
Client was adding a 60A hardwired level 2 EV charger with another future charger installed in the garage.
We installed the new panel in the garage and ran power to the old panel in the basement, then added the EV charger on the exterior of the home.

Thank you to our client for trusting Walker Electrical with this upgrade! 💡

Let’s chat Surge Protectors:

Most homes these days are stacked with appliances and electronics, all of which rely heavily on electricity to operate.

Did you know that a surge in electricity such as a lightening strike, or even turning on multiple appliances at once, can damage electronics and appliances often beyond repair?!

Installing a surge protector provides a huge peace of mind by protecting all electronics and also lowers the risk of potential fires frequently caused by power surges.

Want one?! ⤵️

Walker Electrical has an incredible sale on these Eaton 2Ultra Surge Protectors with installation included now thru August 31, 2026.
💥💥$155 off regular price!!!💥💥

Message, or call Nate at 519-427-4567 for more details, or to book your surge protector installation. You don’t want to miss this one! 💡

To the girl that keeps the wheels in motion! Sometimes my mind is in other places (lately all the time), sometimes I feel as if there is to much on the go! But she is right there pushing me! Telling me that I can do this and making all the behind the scenes happen from the family scheduling to making the wheels turn with the business! To making sure I drink my water 😂When I was in a spot last week where I just didn’t want to think about the business she was getting some new business cards lined up! The business really wouldn’t flow with how much she puts into it behind the scenes! And I hope Jodie Boerkamp knows that!

Love you! ❤️

How about that pop up storm on Canada Day eh?!

We were up bright and early on an emergency call to one of our long time clients who had a tree come down on their direct hydro line, pulling it away from their barn and knocking out power to them for 22 hours!!

Luckily Walker Electrical installed an automatic generator for them last year, so they didn’t have to melt with no AC or lose any food with these extreme temps.

We were pretty grateful to have been able to help our clients with this one! It’s time like this that remind us why we do this job, and how much we love helping people in our community. 🤍💡🇨🇦

Is it just us, or has Norfolk County turned into a sauna this week?!☀️

While everyone is trying to stay cool this week, it’s a good reminder that extreme heat can put extra strain on the electrical system in your home. Air conditioners are running nonstop, fans are working overtime, and electrical panels are carrying heavier loads than usual.

If you’ve noticed flickering lights, tripping breakers, or anything that seems out of the ordinary, don’t ignore it.

Whether you need a panel upgrade, new lighting, a generator hookup, or just have an electrical question that’s been bugging you, we’re here to help! 💡

In the meantime, stay cool, stay hydrated, and if you’re sitting directly in front of a fan pretending it’s air conditioning… we get it. 🥵

Happy Father’s Day ❤️

Today, we celebrate the man who wears so many hats — husband, father, provider, mentor, and role model.

Behind every long workday, every early morning, and every late-night is a man who works tirelessly both inside and outside the home to provide for his family and build a beautiful life for those he loves.

Your dedication, sacrifice, and hard work never go unnoticed. Thank you for everything you do to keep our family strong, supported, and loved.

From all of us at Walker Electrical, Happy Father’s Day to all the hardworking dads out there. We hope today brings you the appreciation you deserve.
