RatingI needed to make some modifications to my main panel, including adding a sub panel for emergencies. The quality of work was truly exceptional, couldn’t have asked for anything more. I highly recommend Ampt Over Electric for all your electrical needs, both big and small.
I hired this company to do several small jobs in my Condo and couldn't be happier with the results. Clear and precise communications for the quote. Ryan was abousletley delightful. Had everything fixed within 2 hours and the price is fair. I will be recommending this company to others and if I need something again will definitely call. Fast friendly and efficient service. Thank you so much to the whole team for making this such a positive experience. Shout out to Ryan because he definitely knows what he is doing!!!!!!
I totally recommend Ampt Over Electic. They were fast and efficient in setting up an estimate, doing the work and making sure I was satisfied.
We hired Ampt Over Electric to replace some old, dead light fixtures in our kitchen. Jeff arrived on time and was very quick, efficient and professional! I would recommend them to anyone looking to get some electrical work done. Thank you for making our kitchen bright again!!
Jorden at Ampt Over Electric got us a great quote (cheapest of all the quotes) to replace our outdated electrical panel. Jeff removed our old panel and installed the new one. He was patient enough to explain to me what he was doing while he worked. Clearly knowledgeable and customer focused. He even helped me clear out my utilities room so the work could be done. We are excited to have Jeff back to replace out outdoor lights with LED’s next!
Jeff did an incredible job installing our hot tub. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely detail-oriented. The wiring was done cleanly and safely, and everything was organized in a way that showed real care and craftsmanship. He clearly knows his stuff and takes pride in doing the job right. It’s not easy finding tradespeople who show up on time, communicate clearly, and leave the site spotless — but Jeff checked every box. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing electrical work or hot tub installation. Solid work all around. Thanks again, Jeff!
Had Jeff from Ampt Over in to do a few jobs that were more than I could do myself. He was very professional, knowledgeable and an extreme pleasure to work with. Will definitely have him back for any BLUE jobs that beyond my abilities. Thank you again for arriving so quickly and finishing the things I would still be here doing.
Had Jeff from Amptover come today to change bathroom light fixtures. Turned out it needed three different junction boxes, which was not what he was expecting, but no problem. Superduper job done in no time flat. Fair price for excellent work! Many thanks to.Amptover And to Jeff and Jorden. Definitely gonna call them From now on for all my Electrician needs.!!
Extremely knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend. Jorden is very kind and professional.
Thank you for the amazing and quick service to move my ceiling fan
Many electrical hazards stay hidden until something goes wrong with your home’s wiring. A professional electrical safety inspection catches these dangers early and confirms your wiring is safe and up to code. Here are the most common reasons Calgary homeowners schedule an inspection.
A pre-purchase inspection finds problems a standard home inspection can miss. We check for old wiring, loose connections, overloaded circuits, and code violations — all of which can cost thousands after closing.
According to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, electrical defects are among the top five issues found in pre-purchase home inspections. Sellers also benefit from a clean inspection report, since it builds buyer trust and speeds up the sale.
Flickering lights, buzzing outlets, and tripping breakers are warning signs that point to loose connections, overloaded circuits, or deteriorating wiring. These create fire hazards that get worse over time without proper attention.
According to the Electrical Safety Foundation International, faulty wiring causes about 51 thousand home fires each year in North America and more than $1 billion in property damage. An inspection identifies the exact cause and tells you whether a simple repair or an electrical panel upgrade Calgary is needed.
Calgary homes built before 2000 may have aluminum wiring Calgary hazards, undersized panels, or ungrounded outlets that no longer meet current Calgary electrical permit and electrical safety inspection Calgary standards.
Data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission shows aluminum wiring is 55 times more likely to overheat than copper wiring. Aging insulation also breaks down over decades, which creates additional hazards. For older Calgary homes, we recommend a professional electrical inspection every five years.
Many Calgary insurers now require an electrical safety inspection before issuing or renewing coverage. This applies to older homes, homes with aluminum wiring, Federal Pacific panels, or knob-and-tube wiring.
We provide detailed documentation that meets current Calgary electrical permit and Safety Codes requirements. Our report identifies any work needed for coverage approval.
Before adding a basement suite, kitchen renovation, or garage conversion, get your electrical system checked. An inspection tells you if your system can handle the extra load.
We assess circuit availability and wiring condition, and we identify whether an electrical panel upgrade Calgary is required. Planning to add an EV charger installation Calgary or hot tub electrical installation Calgary? We confirm your system is ready before work begins.
Water from flooding, sewer backup, or roof leaks can damage electrical connections. It corrodes wiring and creates shock hazards inside walls. Lightning can also damage surge protection and home components.
After any major weather event or water damage, get an electrical safety inspection. It confirms your system is safe to use.
Our electrical safety inspections follow a 50+ point checklist covering every component of your home’s electrical system. According to the Electrical Safety Foundation International, electrical faults are the third leading cause of home fire deaths in North America.
Each inspection is performed by a certified journeyman electrician who documents findings with photos, measurements, and code references. We don’t just look — we test every circuit, verify every connection, and explain each finding in plain language. All permits are included with any recommended repair work.
Our Inspection Checklist Includes:
After your inspection, we walk you through every finding in plain language. You receive a written report within 24 hours that rates each issue by severity — critical safety hazards, code violations, and suggested improvements.
You’ll know exactly what needs to be fixed right away and what can wait. Pricing is straightforward for all recommended repairs, and every repair includes our Electrical Code Guarantee with a warranty on all installed parts. For details on permit requirements, visit our guide to Calgary electrical permit standards.
Our pre-purchase electrical inspection shows you the property’s full electrical condition. We identify every issue — from minor repairs to major safety concerns. You can negotiate with confidence before closing.
Realtors trust our reports. They are thorough, clearly written, and delivered within 24 hours.
Many insurance companies now require an electrical safety certificate. This applies to homes with older wiring, aluminum connections, or older panel brands. Our inspection report meets insurer requirements.
We provide detailed documentation of all findings. Every report includes photos and remediation recommendations. We work directly with your insurance provider if more information is needed.
Before any renovation, we assess whether your electrical system can handle the planned changes. We evaluate panel capacity, circuit availability, and wiring condition in the renovation area.
Planning to add solar panels or an EV charger installation Calgary? A pre-renovation inspection ensures your system is ready. It prevents costly change orders and delays.
Our annual safety check covers all critical electrical components. We compare findings against your previous inspection. This tracks wiring, panel, and connection condition over time.
Small issues get fixed before they become expensive repairs. Recommended for all homes over 15 years old.
Calgary homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often have aluminum wiring. Aluminum expands and contracts differently than copper. This creates loose connections over time.
Our aluminum wiring assessment checks every accessible connection point. We look for signs of overheating. Then we recommend the right aluminum wiring Calgary solution — whether copper pigtailing, COPALUM crimping, or a full rewire.
Electrical safety inspection costs in Calgary vary depending on home size, age, and the scope of work required. A standard inspection for a typical Calgary property takes between 1.5 and 3 hours, while larger homes or complex systems may take longer.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, a certified electrical inspection is recommended every 10 years, or whenever you purchase a home. Catching one faulty circuit early costs far less than repairing fire damage.
We provide a firm quote before starting, with no surprise charges after. Every inspection includes a detailed written report, photos, severity ratings, and repair estimates. We accept credit card and e-transfer for your convenience.

Electrical safety inspection costs in Calgary depend on home size, wiring age, and the level of documentation required. We provide a firm quote before booking, so there are never any surprises.
A typical Calgary home inspection takes between 1.5 and 3 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the electrical system. We never rush the process — every circuit and connection is tested properly to ensure nothing is missed.
An electrical inspection is not legally required in Alberta when buying a home, but it is strongly recommended — especially for properties over 20 years old. A standard home inspection only reviews electrical components at the surface level and does not test individual circuits.
A licensed electrician conducts a much more thorough assessment. We test every circuit individually, check wiring quality, and identify hidden issues that could cost thousands to fix after closing.
If we find safety hazards or code violations, your report lists all recommended repairs. Each issue is prioritized by risk level. Critical hazards are flagged separately so you know what needs immediate action.
We can usually schedule repairs within a few days. You are never required to hire us for repair work.
A general home inspector checks that outlets work and the panel looks normal. A licensed electrician does much more. We test every circuit individually. We check wire gauge, connection quality, and wiring type.
We identify aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube wiring, and other code violations. We use professional testing equipment. The level of detail is far greater than a standard home inspection.
Many Calgary insurers require an electrical inspection for homes with aluminum wiring, older panels, or wiring over 40 years old. Some require re-inspection every 3–5 years. Our reports meet standard insurance requirements.
We can work directly with your insurance provider if they need more information.
We recommend an inspection every 5 years for homes over 25 years old. Newer homes should be inspected every 10 years. Get an inspection right away after buying a property, completing a major renovation, or experiencing water damage or a lightning strike.
Annual inspections are recommended for homes with known aluminum wiring.
No special preparation is needed. Just make sure our electrician can access your electrical panel, attic, basement or crawlspace, and garage. Clear any storage blocking the panel. Label your breakers if possible.
The inspection is non-invasive. We do not open walls or cause any damage to your home.
