Electrical work in Wetaskiwin County.
Farms, acreages and rural residential to the south of us, where heavy equipment and long service runs are the norm rather than the exception.

Rural properties in Wetaskiwin County tend to share two characteristics that shape the electrical work. The distances on a property are long, so feeds out to shops, barns and second buildings are substantial runs rather than a few metres of cable. And the equipment is heavy, so voltage drop over those runs is a real design consideration rather than a technicality.
Get either wrong and the symptoms are frustrating and hard to diagnose. Motors that run hot, equipment that struggles to start, lights that dim across the whole yard when something kicks in. We size the runs for the distance and the actual load, which is the part that gets skipped when a job is priced purely on cable length.
His communication was great, bill was not a surprise, everything was done to code and done well. Best electrician I have worked with!
He even crawled under my mobile home to fix some electrical issues to make sure my home was up to code. He went above and beyond for me.
Usually voltage drop over a long run, or a feed that was sized for less than what is now connected. It is common on rural properties where buildings were added over time. The fix depends on the distance and load, and both need measuring rather than guessing.
Distance matters as much as load. A conductor adequate for the amperage over ten metres may be badly undersized over two hundred, because voltage drop accumulates. We calculate both, which is the step that gets skipped when a job is priced on cable length alone.
Yes. Three phase motors, starters, disconnects and fusing are regular work, along with troubleshooting equipment already installed. Fusing gets sized for the running load and the starting characteristics of that specific machine, rather than for whatever rating was closest to hand when the equipment was first installed.
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for two years. Hardware usually carries its own manufacturer warranty on the part itself, but the labour to remove and replace a faulty component is charged separately. We tell you which applies before the work goes ahead.
