Edmonton’s Residential Electrician Since 1974
Lighting, Panel Upgrades, Rewiring, Inspections & More — Done Right the First Time
Residential Electrician Edmonton — Licensed Home Electrical Services Since 1974
Armada Electrical is the residential electrician Edmonton homeowners have trusted for over 50 years. Since 1974, we’ve handled everything from lighting installations and panel upgrades to full home rewiring and electrical inspections across every neighbourhood in the city. We’re licensed, carry full residential liability insurance, and staff journeyman electricians who work in homes every day — not commercial crews fitting residential jobs in between bigger projects.
Whether you’re upgrading the lighting in your home, dealing with aluminum wiring, adding a hot tub circuit, or need an electrical inspection before a sale, Armada provides the full range of residential electrical services from a single, experienced contractor.
Lighting Installation
The right lighting transforms how your home looks, feels, and functions. Armada installs and upgrades residential lighting across Edmonton — from landscape lighting and outdoor security fixtures to recessed pot lights, dimmer switches, and decorative interior fixtures. We handle the full scope: circuit planning, switch placement, fixture selection guidance, and code-compliant installation.
Electrical Panel & Amp Upgrades
If your home’s panel is full, your breakers trip under normal use, or you still have a fuse box, it’s time for an upgrade. Armada replaces outdated panels with modern breaker panels that provide more capacity, better safety features, and room to grow. We handle 60 amp to 100 amp upgrades, 100 amp to 200 amp upgrades, fuse box conversions, and full service increases — including EPCOR coordination, permits, and inspections.
Electrical Safety & Inspections
An electrical inspection gives you a clear picture of your home’s wiring condition, code compliance, and safety. Armada performs residential electrical inspections across Edmonton for home sales, insurance requirements, renovation planning, and general peace of mind. We also provide thermal imaging diagnostics to detect hidden hot spots in panels and wiring before they become problems.
Aluminum Wiring Remediation
Thousands of Edmonton homes built between 1965 and 1976 contain aluminum wiring, which poses a known fire risk at connection points. Armada provides aluminum wiring inspections, pigtailing, and full aluminum-to-copper rewiring for Edmonton homeowners. Whether you need a pigtail repair to satisfy your insurance company or a complete rewire for long-term safety, we’ll assess your home and recommend the right approach.
Home Rewiring & Renovation Electrical
Renovating a kitchen, finishing a basement, or adding a suite means your home’s electrical system needs to support new circuits, updated code requirements, and higher loads. Armada provides renovation electrical services for Edmonton homeowners — from single-room updates to complete home rewiring. We coordinate with your general contractor or work directly with you to plan, rough-in, and finish the electrical scope of your renovation.
Hot Tub & Spa Wiring
: A hot tub requires a dedicated electrical circuit, a GFCI-protected disconnect within sight of the tub, and wiring that meets the specific voltage and amperage requirements of your unit. Armada installs hot tub and spa electrical circuits for Edmonton homeowners — including the panel connection, dedicated breaker, wiring run, disconnect installation, and final inspection. We handle both 120V plug-in units and 240V hardwired models.
Other Residential Electrical Services
Beyond our core residential services, Armada handles the full range of home electrical needs across Edmonton. We install whole-home surge protectors to protect your electronics and appliances from power surges. We wire backup generators and standby generator transfer switches. We install and replace smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and combination alarms to current code. We wire electric fireplaces, garage circuits for EV chargers or shop equipment, and any other residential electrical project that requires a licensed electrician.
