E.B. Horsman & Son (EBH) has announced their Victoria location will be officially moving to a bigger, better location this summer.
The new 12,000 square foot building is located at 3250 Tennyson Ave, just a two-minute drive away from the current location on the corner of Cloverdale Ave and Blanshard Street. The new facility features a 28-foot clear height ceiling, a larger open concept counter service area, 22 parking spots, two EV chargers, as well as a dock and grade-level loading areas; all of which will allow us to better serve the Capital Regional District.
The expanded Victoria branch will also provide more office and boardroom space for the Victoria branch customer service team and the company’s local technical specialists for Automation & Controls, Process Instrumentation, Lighting, Data Communications, Power Distribution and our growing Major Projects Victoria team.
Tim Horsman, President and CEO of E.B. Horsman & Son commented, “It is very exciting that we can provide a new, more operationally efficient location which demonstrates our long-term commitment to the Greater Victoria area to service the customer base. This new location will also be better equipped to support and provide same-day delivery to our other four Vancouver Island branches located in Duncan, Parksville, Courtenay, and Campbell River.”
Tyson Carvell, VP of Marketing, adds: “It has always been our goal to provide our Greater Victoria customers with a convenient location where they can quickly and easily access all products and services they need without the uncertain delivery times common with off-island distributors. To do so, this location will be replenished daily, and now with the ability to put in high racking, we will be able to stock more products locally to ensure that we can meet the demands of the growing and dynamic Victoria marketplace.”
E.B. Horsman & Son (EBH) returned to the Victoria market in 2013 by acquiring Albrite Lighting. Albrite continues to operate as a lighting brand of EBH that focuses on providing lighting products and services to such markets as Retail, Hospitality, Property Management and Eldercare.
Tim Horsman concludes: “E.B. Horsman & Son has a longstanding history and love of Vancouver Island. The south island is a vibrant and growing region in which we are committed to being “The Electrical Distributor of Choice!”

Electrical distribution problems are not always immediately identified as issues with power quality. An example of this is a thermal-magnetic circuit breaker. When it trips, the indication is generally a short circuit, ground fault, or overload. At times this can be put down to an old breaker that needs replacing.
However, it’s important to investigate the types of loads on the system and monitor harmonics for a potential disturbance. This article explores common issues with power quality and how to troubleshoot those issues.

This recall involves a yellow electrical wire, 12/2 NMD90 75M Romex SIMpull cable, sold by the spool. Products were also sold at Home Depot designated as article 108196. Only cables with a time stamp between 12:41 and 18:02 are affected by this recall.
The recalled product contains a neutral wire that is a smaller 14-gauge wire, contrary to the stamp on the wire identifying both the neutral and “hot” wires as 12-gauge (i.e., "12/2").
The recalled product contains a 14-gauge neutral wire instead of 12-gauge (as labelled), thus it may not perform as expected in 12-gauge applications, resulting in a risk of those applications having impaired performance and/or compliance with safety codes or standards.
