Subpanel Installation & Upgrade in Ottawa

Taking Basement Electrical Work from Rough-In to Finish
A finished basement needs an electrical plan tied to room use, walls and ceiling access. Coordinate rough-in, required review and final devices before construction closes the space.
Assessing a Panel or Service Upgrade Before Committing
New equipment or renovation plans can prompt a panel review. Assess the existing electrical demand and utility requirements before choosing a replacement or assuming a larger service is necessary.
