Renovations

Why Electrical Services Are Critical in Renovations

Every renovation, whether in a kitchen, bathroom, office, or entire building, requires careful attention to electrical systems. Outdated wiring, insufficient power, and non-compliant panels are common in older buildings and must be upgraded to meet today’s standards.

Key reasons to update electrical during renovations:

• Safety – Replace outdated aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring

• Capacity – Support modern appliances, HVAC, EV chargers, and smart home systems

• Efficiency – Upgrade to LED lighting and energy-efficient systems

• Compliance – Meet the requirements of the BC Electrical Code

• Property value – Increase resale value with modern, safe electrical systems

Care Electric ensures that your renovation is safe, efficient, and future-ready.

Duplex & Townhome Renovation Electrical Services

Duplexes and townhomes often share walls, panels, or circuits, making renovations more complex than single-family homes. Care Electric has extensive experience in multi-unit renovation projects, ensuring that individual units and common areas are powered safely and efficiently.

Services We Provide for Duplex & Townhome Renovations:

• Full or partial rewiring to replace outdated systems

• Breaker panel upgrades to support modern loads (100A, 200A, 400A)

We work with trusted brands like Siemens, Square D, Philips, Cree, and Eaton to deliver durable, high-performance systems.
