You've been waiting all winter for patio season. But before you string up the lights, plug in the speakers, and call it ready — it's worth a quick check on the electrical side.

Outdoor outlets in Ontario need to be GFCI-protected to prevent shock from moisture and rain. Fixtures and boxes need to be weatherproof-rated for outdoor use. Extension cords running across a deck aren't a solution — they're a fire hazard.

If you're adding outdoor lighting, a dedicated outlet under the eaves, or power to a detached garage or shed, those are jobs that need a permit and a licensed electrician.

Properly installed outdoor electrical is invisible when it's done right. No visible cords. No workarounds. Just a backyard that works the way you planned.

Give Beattie Dukelow a call — we'll make sure your outdoor setup is safe, up to code, and ready for summer.

Farm work can't wait on bad wiring — or an unexpected outage.

For farmers across Eastern Ontario, a power failure isn't just inconvenient. It can mean lost livestock, ruined crops, damaged equipment, and thousands in losses.

As an authorized Generac dealer, we install and service standby generators that keep your operation running automatically — without you having to lift a finger when the grid goes down.

No more scrambling for extension cords. No more hoping it comes back on before the freezers warm up or the ventilation fails.

Our team understands agricultural electrical. We work on barn wiring, grain dryers, water systems, and rural properties all across the region.

Spring is a good time to plan ahead. Give us a call or send a message — we'll walk you through exactly what makes sense for your setup.

More homeowners across Eastern Ontario are switching to electric vehicles — and waking up to a fully charged car every morning is one of those simple wins worth planning for.

A Level 2 home EV charger (240V) charges your vehicle 5–8x faster than a standard outlet. But the installation needs to be done correctly — proper panel capacity, a dedicated circuit, and grounding that actually keeps your home safe.

Our licensed electricians handle EV charger installations across Eastern Ontario, from the initial assessment through permits and final inspection.

Already have an EV, or thinking about one? Let us know in the comments — we're happy to answer your questions.

Three signs your commercial property is overdue for an electrical inspection:

→ Breakers tripping more than once a month
→ Warm or discoloured outlets or panel covers
→ Electrical system hasn't been reviewed in 5+ years

Catching it early is always cheaper than dealing with the fallout.

When you hire an electrician, there's one question worth asking every time: are they actually licensed in Ontario?

In this province, electrical work must be completed by a Licensed Electrical Contractor and performed by journeyman electricians or properly supervised apprentices. Unlicensed work can void your home insurance and creates real liability if something goes wrong.

Beattie Dukelow Electrical has been a licensed electrical contractor since 2012. Every job is done to code, documented, and backed by a team you can reach after the job is done.

When it comes to your home, your farm, or your business — done right matters.

Starting a commercial renovation or preparing a new tenant space? Most business owners don't know what electrical questions to ask — until the project hits a delay.

Ask upfront:
✅ Can they produce AutoCAD drawings for permits?
✅ Are all workers licensed in Ontario?
✅ How will they coordinate with other trades?
✅ What's the plan for minimizing business downtime?
✅ Will inspections be handled for you?

At Beattie Dukelow Electrical, we handle commercial projects across Eastern Ontario with clear communication and real follow-through — from drawings and permits through to the final inspection.

Have a commercial project coming up? Drop your question in the comments or give us a call. We'll give you straight answers.

It's always a special moment when that weekend arrives when dinner moves outside for the first time.

The BBQ gets fired up, the table gets wiped down, and the evening feels longer than it did a month ago.

Around Prescott, Brockville, and the rest of the Seaway Valley, that first outdoor meal feels like a small reward after a long winter.

It’s also when you start noticing how well the outdoor space is set up elec.

Lighting, outlets, and exterior power can make a deck, patio, or backyard feel easier to use once summer routines settle in.

Outdoor living doesn’t need to be complicated. It just needs to be safe, practical, and set up for how people actually gather.

If your backyard setup needs attention before the season gets busy, give us a call or visit our website to book a service visit.

What’s the first thing your family cooks outside when the season starts?
