Absolutely! Co Electric is fully licensed by Alberta's Safety Codes Council and carries comprehensive liability insurance. All our electricians are journeyman-certified and stay current with Alberta's electrical code requirements. We pull permits when required and ensure all work meets or exceeds safety standards.

Permits are required for panel upgrades, new circuits, major rewiring, hot tub installations, and most electrical modifications. We handle all permit applications and inspections. Minor work like changing light fixtures or outlets typically doesn't require permits. We'll always inform you when permits are needed.

Panels typically last 25-40 years. Consider upgrading if you have an old fuse box, frequent breaker trips, insufficient amperage (less than 100 amps), adding major appliances, or during home renovations. Modern homes often need 200-amp service to handle today's electrical demands safely.
