The oldest housing we work on, in the one city that runs its own electrical permitting and inspection.
Local conditions
Under the Vancouver Charter, the City administers its own electrical permitting and inspection rather than Technical Safety BC, which every other municipality on this page uses. The forms, the process and the timelines are all different. None of it makes a job harder, but it does have to be built into the schedule from the start.
Pre-1940 housing on the west and east sides was wired with knob-and-tube and cloth-sheathed conductors into a service that was adequate at the time. Rewiring one without gutting it means working from basements, attics and closets, and allowing the time that lath-and-plaster walls require.
A main house, a basement suite and a laneway house on a single lot is a common Vancouver arrangement and a significant load question. The laneway house needs its own feeder down the lot and its own sub-panel, and the combined calculation usually points to a service upgrade.
