Electrical for homes in Garneau
Century-old houses, many split into suites, share the blocks with walk-up apartments and newer infill.
Pre-war homes can still have knob-and-tube wiring and ungrounded two-prong outlets, which many insurers want replaced, and small 60-amp services that struggle with today's appliances.
Houses with rental suites need working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in every unit, and often more circuits than the original house had.
Infill homes and garden suites often need a service upgrade or a separate meter, so bring an electrician in early in planning.
Powering a detached garage for a heater, workshop or EV charger means a buried feed from the house, often to a small subpanel.
A basement suite needs its own interconnected smoke alarms and enough circuits for a second kitchen.

Seasonal tip for Edmonton
Before winter, check block heater outlets and the circuits your holiday lights will use; spring and summer are the easiest time for outdoor lighting and EV charger installs.
