We install approved connectors at each connection point, or in some cases a full rewire, to bring your home up to current Alberta Electrical Code — which can also help with home insurance.

Homes built roughly 1965 to 1978 in Calgary are the most common candidates. Other signs include warm or discoloured outlet plates, flickering lights, a burning smell near outlets, unexplained breaker trips, and dull silver-coloured wire visible at your panel.
It's a recognized fire risk if connections aren't properly maintained, so some insurers require remediation or charge higher premiums without it.
Not always. Approved connectors at each connection point are a recognized fix for most homes. A full rewire is sometimes preferred during major renovations.
It depends on the number of connection points and whether a full rewire is needed. We quote after inspecting the home.
A visual inspection at your panel and a few outlets is the only way to confirm it. We offer this as part of a free assessment.
