What’s Included in Our New Home Wiring Package

Why Quality Wiring Matters in New Construction

Wiring a house isn’t just a checkbox — it’s the system that powers everything in your home.

Choosing the right house wiring contractor during a build can save you time, money, and major headaches down the road.

Poor Wiring = Expensive Problems

Breakers that trip constantly
Overloaded panels
Outlets in the wrong places
No room for smart upgrades or EV chargers
Failed inspections and insurance issues

Bad electrical work during a build is tough (and expensive) to fix once drywall goes up.

Our Electrical Work = Built to Last

We don’t just wire — we plan:

Dedicated circuits for appliances and devices
Extra outlet placements for future tech
Panel upgrades ready for solar or EV charging
ESA permits, inspections, and walkthroughs at every stage

Whether you’re building your dream home or developing multiple units, we’re the house wiring contractor in Ottawa who gets it done clean, safe, and code-perfect.
