Top electrical issues in older Calgary homes
Many Calgary homes built prior to the 1980s were wired using aluminum. While common for the time, aluminum wiring is now known to pose a significantly higher risk of overheating and fire compared to modern copper wiring. In addition, aged properties often suffer from insufficient amperage to support today’s power-hungry appliances, leading to frequent breaker trips or malfunctioning circuits. Homeowners in areas like Crescent Heights and Mount Pleasant can benefit from proactive electrical inspections to uncover these issues before they escalate.
Common safety hazards from DIY wiring
Attempting to save costs with DIY electrical fixes may seem quick and convenient—but it often results in ungrounded outlets, exposed conductors, or incorrectly sized breakers. These unprofessional installations not only increase the risk of electrocution and fire, but they may also void insurance claims during emergencies. Over 60% of house fires in Alberta are caused by faulty electrical systems—most stemming from preventable errors that a licensed technician would never make.
How certified electricians reduce code violations
Hiring licensed electrical contractors like Ampt Over Electric ensures your home’s wiring, panels, and service upgrades adhere to the ever-evolving Alberta Electrical Safety Code. With every project, installations are inspected, documented, and completed by provincially certified professionals. This protects you during renovations, home sales, and insurance assessments. Certified electricians eliminate liability while increasing property value through code-compliant workmanship.
Consider scheduling a professional inspection before your next renovation—future-proofing your Calgary home begins with power you can trust.
