Electrical for homes in Highlands

It is known for Arts and Crafts era homes from the 1910s, along with later bungalows.

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.

Walkout basements and yards on the valley slopes are popular spots for outdoor lighting and outlets, which need weatherproof, GFCI-protected circuits.

Powering a detached garage for a heater, workshop or EV charger means a buried feed from the house, often to a small subpanel.

An unfinished basement is the right time to plan circuits, lighting and outlets before the drywall goes up.

Common electrical jobs

  • Panel upgrades and new circuits
  • Outlets, switches and lighting
  • EV charger installation

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.
