A century of housing in one city, from knob-and-tube in Maillardville to two-charger load calculations on Burke Mountain.
Local conditions
Founded as a mill town, its oldest streets hold housing from a period when a house was built with a handful of circuits. Original services, fuse panels and knob-and-tube surviving behind two or three later renovations are common findings, and it is usually those renovations that concealed them.
Large houses on Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau are built with a 200A service already carrying a heat pump, air conditioning, an induction range and often a hot tub. Adding two electric vehicles calls for a load calculation first, and the answer is frequently a load management device rather than a larger service.
Garages below the house, retaining walls between the panel and the yard, and driveways that drop away all make outdoor circuits longer and more awkward than a drawing suggests. Planning the route before any trenching starts matters more on this terrain than almost anywhere else we work.
