Renovation, Addition & Service Upgrade Assessments

Before starting a renovation, addition, or major appliance upgrade, it is important to confirm that your electrical system can handle the changes. We provide pre‑renovation electrical assessments that review panel capacity, existing circuits, and wiring routes.

We can recommend panel upgrades, new circuits, or rewiring where needed so your project meets electrical code and has the power it requires. Durham Region homeowners rely on these assessments to plan kitchens, finished basements, additions, EV chargers, and more.
