Electrician in Vancouver

Character homes on small original services, and laneway houses that add another home to the lot.

Local conditions

What the wiring is like in Vancouver

Character homes

Many pre-1940 homes still have knob-and-tube wiring and a 60A or 100A service. Most of a rewire can be done from the basement, attic and closets without opening every wall.

Laneway houses

A house, basement suite and laneway house on one lot is common. The laneway house needs its own feeder and sub-panel, and the combined load often means a service upgrade.
