There may be a loose connection somewhere on the circuit or the circuit is overloaded due to the high electricity demand from the air conditioner starting up.
Sometimes dimmer switches do get warm to the touch. As long as the switch isn’t operating lighting above 300 watts, your situation should be safe. If you smell burning or the plastic is melting, the situation isn’t safe, and the switch wiring should be replaced.

It all depends on what size load you have added since the service was installed. In Ottawa and surrounding areas, Hydro One and Hydro Ottawa provide a consumption report, which gives an overview of your hourly electrical usage. After you have the spreadsheet, we will be able to look into your current and future allowable usage and advise if your service is suitable.

Yes, any home or business prone to power outages should have some kind of backup power source. There are many options, including whole house and half house generator panels. Another convenient option is GenerLink™, an interconnection device that lets you connect your portable generator directly to your home’s wiring system for easy access and use.
It’s hard to say, but in most cases, there’s a reduction in the electric bill due to the new installation, tighter connections, and balanced power. How much you save depends on your monthly electric bill and energy use habits.
According to the OESC, a homeowner can install lights in their own home if no new wiring is needed. However, if you are installing a ceiling fan, make sure the device box is rated to hold the weight of the fan. Ceiling fans must be mounted on special fan-rated boxes made of metal or strong plastic, with deep-threaded holes for mounting screws. The box must be mounted firmly—either attached directly to a framing member or using a fan-rated brace. This installation is best performed by a certified electrician.
Many EV chargers require a dedicated NEMA outlet rated for their specific power needs. These installations must be done safely and according to code, so it is best to have a professional electrician handle the work to make sure your home is suitable and safe.

First, make sure the switch is fully in the off position until it clicks. Then try to reset. If it still will not reset, there is likely an issue that needs fixing. This is a red flag—either a short or an overload is affecting that circuit and should be checked by an electrician.
