Let’s be real—when was the last time you thought about your home’s electrical safety? If you're like most homeowners, probably not often enough. But with older homes, overloaded circuits, and more electronics than ever before, 2025 is the year to get serious about electrical safety.
At Maple Electric Supply, we've spent 13+ years helping Canadians in Vaughan, Toronto, and beyond stay safe—and today, we're breaking down why this matters now more than ever (and what you can do about it).
Why You Should Care About Electrical Safety in 2025
Homes today are working harder than ever. From smart tech to EV chargers, the demand on your wiring is real—and aging systems just can't keep up. Plus, with trade tensions affecting supply prices, putting off upgrades might cost you more later.
