The Electrical Behind a Great Kitchen

A kitchen reno touches more electrical than almost any other room, new appliance circuits, island and counter outlets, lighting layers, and often code upgrades the old kitchen never had. We handle all of it, coordinated with your contractor and cabinet installer.

We make sure your range, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, and small appliances are all on properly sized circuits, your counters and island have code-compliant outlets, and your lighting is planned around the new layout, so everything just works when the reno is done.

Questions Answered

Kitchen Renovation Electrical FAQs

Straight answers to the questions Calgary homeowners ask most about kitchen reno wiring.

How much does kitchen renovation electrical cost in Calgary?

The cost depends on how much rewiring the renovation involves, how many new circuits and fixtures are added, and whether your panel needs upgrading to support new appliances. Since every project is different, we give you an exact, upfront quote after a quick assessment — no cost, no obligation — so you know the real number for your setup before any work begins.

Do I need a permit for kitchen electrical work?

Yes, kitchen renovations that involve new or moved circuits require an electrical permit and inspection. As a master-electrician-owned company, we handle the permit and inspection so everything passes the first time.

What electrical upgrades does a kitchen reno usually need?

Modern kitchens often need dedicated circuits for appliances, GFCI-protected counter outlets, under-cabinet lighting, and added outlets for islands and small appliances. We make sure your kitchen meets current Canadian Electrical Code requirements, which protects you and adds resale value.

Can you add outlets to a kitchen island?

Yes. Island outlets are a common request and are often required by code for islands of a certain size. We run the circuit cleanly and place the outlets where they're convenient and code-compliant.

Do you work with my contractor or kitchen designer?

Yes. We coordinate with your contractor, cabinet installer, and designer so the electrical is roughed in and finished at the right stages of the renovation. You get one reliable electrical contact through the whole project.
