What's different about electrical repairs in St. John’s

St. John’s homes include a substantial older housing share: 10,920 of 49,255 dwellings were built in 1960 or earlier. In Downtown, The Battery, and Georgestown, electrical repairs may involve old or damaged wiring, so fault diagnosis can take longer.
