Why It Matters

Your Renovation.

Done Right.

Since April 1, 2025, all electrical work in Alberta must comply with the 2024 Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) — which introduced expanded requirements for arc-fault protection, kitchen circuit layouts, and outdoor receptacles. Whether you’re updating a kitchen, finishing a basement, or adding a garage workshop, the electrical behind the walls needs to be planned properly before the first board goes up.

Unpermitted wiring must be disclosed at sale and can derail deals
Knob-and-tube and aluminum wiring can't safely handle modern loads
New circuits to 2024 CEC standards prevent fires and shocks
Renovations are the lowest-cost time to add GFCI and AFCI protection
A load calculation up front prevents surprise panel upgrades mid-project

Signs You May Need Electrical Renovations

You're adding a kitchen island, home office, workshop, or finishing a basement
Outlets feel warm, spark occasionally, or trip the breaker during normal use
You have two-prong ungrounded outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, or living areas
Your renovation plans involve moving or adding walls that contain wiring
A home inspector has noted aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube, or an undersized panel

Unsure what your reno requires? We’ll tell you exactly what the code needs — before you commit to a scope.

What's Included

Complete Renovation Electrical

Circuit Planning & Design

We plan your circuits before the first wall is opened — confirming outlet locations, dedicated appliance circuits, and lighting layouts that meet code and actually work for how the space will be used.

Rough-in Wiring

Clean, organized rough-in work that makes the drywaller’s life easier and the inspector’s job straightforward. Wiring is protected with steel nail plates, properly stapled, and run with enough service loop at every box.

AFCI & GFCI Upgrades

Any circuits being extended or modified during a renovation need to meet 2024 code — which typically means AFCI breakers in living areas and GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages.

Permits & Final Inspection

We pull the General Wiring permit, coordinate the rough-in and final inspections, and keep your renovation on schedule. No waiting on paperwork you don’t understand.

FAQs

Common Questions

Do I Need a Permit for My Renovation Electrical Work?
Yes — in Calgary and Chestermere, a General Wiring permit is required for any work that adds to or modifies your home’s circuits. Unpermitted work is flagged on home inspections, can void your insurance in the event of a claim, and will need to be redone at your expense if discovered during a future sale.
Can a Homeowner Pull Their Own Electrical Permit?
A homeowner can pull a permit for their own primary residence — but not for rental properties or secondary suites. Having a licensed electrician pull and manage the permit means the work is done to code from the start and the inspection risk falls on us, not you.
What Is the “Renovator’s Trap” with AFCI?
Under CEC 2024, if you extend an existing circuit by more than a few feet during a renovation, the entire circuit often needs to be upgraded to AFCI protection. This surprises a lot of homeowners who planned a simple outlet addition. We identify these requirements upfront so there are no surprises mid-project.
Can You Work Alongside My Other Contractors?
Yes — we’re used to working in active renovation sites alongside framers, plumbers, and drywallers. We’ll coordinate timing with your GC or directly with the other trades to make sure the electrical doesn’t create a bottleneck.
