Serving Edmonton Since 1974 — Over 50 Years of Electrical Excellence
About Armada Electrical — Edmonton’s Electrician Since 1974
Armada Electrical is a full-service electrical contractor based in Edmonton, Alberta. Founded in 1974, Armada has provided residential, commercial, and industrial electrical services across the Edmonton metropolitan area for over 50 years. The company was built on a straightforward principle: do the work right, pull the permits, pass the inspections, and stand behind the result. That approach has sustained Armada through five decades of growth, technology changes, and evolving building codes — and it remains the standard for every project today.
Our Team
Armada’s team includes licensed journeyman and master electricians with experience across every type of electrical work — from residential panel upgrades and home rewiring to commercial tenant buildouts and industrial power distribution. Every electrician on an Armada crew holds a valid Alberta journeyman or master electrician certificate and works under Armada’s master electrician permit.
The Armada team isn’t just technically qualified — they’re experienced in Edmonton’s specific housing stock, commercial building types, and the permitting process through the City of Edmonton and surrounding municipalities. That local knowledge means fewer surprises on-site, accurate quoting, and work that passes inspection the first time.
Armada also invests in ongoing training to keep the team current with the Canadian Electrical Code, emerging technologies like EV charger installation, and evolving energy efficiency standards. When the code changes or a new product enters the market, Armada’s electricians are trained on it before it reaches your property.
Why Choose Armada Electrical
50+ Years Serving Edmonton
Armada has been in continuous operation since 1974. That kind of longevity in the trades isn’t common, and it doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of consistent work quality, honest quoting, and a reputation that brings customers back and generates referrals. Many of Armada’s current clients are second-generation — homeowners whose parents used Armada decades ago.
Permits and Inspections on Every Job
Every Armada project that requires a permit gets one. This isn’t a selling point — it’s a legal requirement that some contractors skip. Armada pulls the appropriate electrical permits through the City of Edmonton (or the relevant municipality), and every permitted job is followed by a third-party inspection to confirm the work meets the current Canadian Electrical Code. This protects the homeowner’s insurance coverage, property value, and safety.
Full-Scope Project Management
Armada handles the complete electrical scope of every project — from initial assessment and quoting through permitting, installation, inspection, and any follow-up. You’re not coordinating between a quoting team, an installation crew, and a separate permit runner. One company, one point of contact, one standard of accountability from start to finish.
24/7 Emergency Electrical Service
Electrical emergencies don’t wait for business hours. Armada provides 24/7 emergency electrical service across Edmonton and surrounding areas. Whether it’s a tripped main breaker, a burning smell from a panel, sparking outlets, or a complete power loss, Armada’s emergency team responds to get the situation safe and the power restored.
Residential, Commercial & Industrial
Armada isn’t a residential-only shop that occasionally takes a commercial job, or a commercial contractor that does houses on the side. Armada operates across all three sectors — residential, commercial, and industrial — with dedicated experience in each. That breadth means Armada can serve a homeowner’s panel upgrade on Monday, a retail tenant buildout on Tuesday, and a Nisku warehouse power distribution project on Wednesday, all to the same standard.
Certifications & Licensing
Armada Electrical holds the credentials and coverage required to operate as a full-service electrical contractor in Alberta:
• Master Electrician Permit — Armada operates under a valid Alberta master electrician permit, the highest level of electrical certification in the province. This permit authorizes Armada to pull electrical permits, supervise journeyman electricians, and take responsibility for code compliance on every project.
• Licensed Journeyman Electricians — Every electrician on an Armada crew holds a valid Alberta journeyman electrician certificate, ensuring the person doing the work at your property is fully qualified and trade-certified.
• City of Edmonton Electrical Contractor Business Licence — Armada is a licensed electrical contractor with the City of Edmonton, meeting all municipal requirements for operating in the city.
• Comprehensive Liability Insurance — Armada carries full commercial general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage through the Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) of Alberta. This protects both Armada’s team and the property owner on every job site.
• Canadian Electrical Code Compliance — All Armada work is performed to the current edition of the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), as adopted by Alberta. When code editions change, Armada’s team is trained on the updates before they take effect.
These credentials aren’t optional extras — they’re the baseline for a legitimate electrical contractor. If a contractor can’t provide proof of a master electrician permit, valid journeyman certificates, liability insurance, and WCB coverage, the homeowner or business owner is taking on risk that shouldn’t be theirs to carry.
