Common jobs in Victoria
Heritage rewires, panel upgrades, downtown tenant improvements and EV chargers.
Knob-and-tube rewires & panel upgrades
Fairfield, James Bay and Fernwood still have a lot of K&T, and many insurers won't accept it. We rewire in phases so you can stay in the house, and do the panel upgrade on the same permit.

Older wiring in Victoria
Many Victoria houses predate 1950, so knob-and-tube, cloth-insulated wire and 60-amp services are common. Rockland and Fernwood character conversions often have wiring from several eras.
We pull the electrical permit for every job that needs one. In Victoria that's usually a City of Victoria permit. We book the inspection. Heritage-designated properties may also need City of Victoria approval. Provincial rebates may apply to some projects. For EV chargers, we help with the rebate paperwork.
Victoria questions
