How every guide works.

The same simple shape, so you can find what you need when something has just gone wrong.

The quick answer comes first.

Two or three sentences that tell you what is most likely wrong and what to do now. The detail comes after.

Safety before shortcuts.

We flag the jobs that need a licensed gas fitter, electrician or plumber, and explain why, before you pick up a tool.

Checked against official sources.

Rates, rules and phone numbers come from BC Hydro, FortisBC, the City of Surrey and other official pages, listed at the end of every guide.

Latest guides.

Recently written or rechecked against their sources.
