Electrician in Chilliwack

Older homes downtown and in Sardis, new builds on Promontory, acreage around Ryder Lake, and cabins at Cultus Lake.

Local conditions

What the wiring is like in Chilliwack

Knob-and-tube in older homes

Some houses built before the 1950s, mostly around downtown, still have knob-and-tube wiring. It has no ground, it cannot handle modern loads, and many insurers will not cover a house until it is replaced.

Federal Pacific panels

Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panels were installed in many homes built from the 1960s to the 1980s, including much of Sardis. The breakers can fail to trip, and the only fix is replacing the panel.

Power to shops and outbuildings

On acreage around Ryder Lake and Vedder, a common job is running power to a shop, barn or garage suite. That means a buried feeder sized for the distance and a sub-panel in the building.

Cabins at Cultus Lake

Many cabins at Cultus Lake were built with small services for summer use. Adding electric heat, a heat pump or a hot tub usually means upgrading the service first.
