Renovations + upgrades
Coordinated electrical scopes
We plan wiring routes, panel locations, and inspection timing so renovations, additions, and suite builds stay on track.
Panels and subpanels
Main panels, subpanels, and labeling are organized for clear future service and balanced loads.
Load planning
We map circuits for kitchens, suites, shops, and heat pumps so power is ready where you need it.
Common triggers
When upgrades make sense
We upgrade services and panels when new loads or aging equipment demand it, not as an upsell.
- Renovations, additions, or secondary suites
- Heat pumps, electric heating, or air conditioning
- Workshops, hot tubs, saunas, or kitchen upgrades
- Nuisance tripping, crowded panels, or dated equipment
- Planning space for future EV charging or solar
What to expect
Upgrades done in clear steps
We handle the electrical scope from planning through inspection so you can focus on the renovation itself.
- Assessment + load calculation: confirm service size, existing loads, and new circuit needs.
- Scope + permit: align with builders, pull permits, and set inspection milestones.
- Installation: panel work, wiring, and labeling completed with tidy routing.
- Verification: testing, balancing, and walkthrough before inspection.
- Ready for future: spare capacity and labeling for later additions like EV charging or solar.
FAQ
Electrical upgrade questions
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. We pull electrical permits, coordinate inspections, and leave labeled panels and documentation ready for Technical Safety BC review.
Can you help plan loads before a renovation?
We map out new circuits, panel space, and service size early so your renovation or addition has power where you need it without surprises.
When is a service upgrade required?
If load calculations show the existing service is maxed out, we recommend and install a panel or full service upgrade so new loads like heat pumps or EV charging stay reliable.
Do you coordinate with other trades?
Yes. We work with builders and homeowners to sequence rough-in, inspections, and finishes so wiring stays on schedule and out of the way.
Can you tidy or relabel an existing panel?
We re-label, balance loads, and clean up wiring so the panel is clear, safe, and ready for future additions.
Do you install subpanels?
Yes. Subpanels are added for additions, shops, or suites when they simplify routing and keep main panels organized.
Can you plan for future EV charging or heat pumps?
We include future loads in today’s calculations so panels, conduits, and spare spaces are ready when you add an EV charger or heat pump later.
