Basements & Legal Suites, Wired to Code
Whether you're adding a family room, a home theatre, or a full legal suite to rent out, the electrical has to be done right, and for suites, it has to meet specific City of Calgary and code requirements. We handle all of it, from rough-in to final inspection.
Legal suites often need their own sub-panel, separated circuits, dedicated smoke and CO protection, and provisions for separate metering. We know what inspectors look for and build it in from the start, so you're not redoing work later.

Our Basement & Suite Process
Plan & Quote
We review your layout and suite requirements, confirm what code calls for, and give you a clear, upfront quote.
Sub-Panel & Rough-In
We set the sub-panel and run all circuits, separating the suite electrical and wiring egress, baths, and appliances to code.
Inspection
We arrange the rough-in inspection and make sure everything meets requirements before drywall.
Trim-Out
We install devices, fixtures, smoke/CO detectors, and the panel, then test every circuit.
Final Sign-Off
We complete the final inspection and walk you through the finished space and panel.
