Buried Panel

Making things work for “right now” costs us more in the end.

Date: Oct 2020
Client: NW Calgary
Project Type: Buried Panel

Many regulations are in place to ensure that during the sale or purchase of a home, the major components of a homes’ operating system are functioning properly.

This homeowner was unaware that his electrical panel did not meet the electrical code and was the ultimate reason for the delay in the sale of his home. After a thorough home inspection was performed this and multiple other electrical concerns came to light. We were called to get this NW Calgary homes’ electrical system ready for sale.

When replacing panels that are 30+ years old, we run into many issues that can make the installation of the new panel difficult. If the electrical panel is enclosed in some manner or smaller than the replacement, damage to the surrounding area is inevitable.

Working to minimize the damage and to forego the larger cost of moving the panel; the homeowner made the decision to change the adjoining wall. This gave us the space we needed to install the new panel as per the Canadian Electrical Code and ensure it passed inspection with the City of Calgary.

As an out-of-town landlord, finding reliable contractors can be stressful, but 24/7 Electric made the entire process incredibly easy. Their communication was excellent, they kept me informed every step of the way, and I felt confident that my property was in good hands, even from a distance.
The team was professional, punctual, and completed the work to a high standard. They were honest, efficient, and left everything clean when the job was finished.
It's a huge relief to have a company I can trust when I can't be there in person. They truly made my life easier, and I highly recommend 24/7 Electric to anyone—especially fellow out-of-town property owners. I'll definitely be using them again!

They showed up on time, gave a reasonable quote and then had the work done within a few days. Jason was our electrician and he was great! We had several things we wanted done and he gave us creative and solid ideas to meet our needs. He stayed past working hours to complete all the work to our satisfaction!!
We will use this company again for alllof our electrical needs.

We recently hired 24/7 again for an Enmax 200 amp service upgrade, and once again they delivered excellent service and workmanship. Having used them in the past, we already had confidence in their work (especially Davin), and this project reinforced why we continue to call them.

Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. A few unexpected scope changes came up that were outside of everyone’s control, but they adapted quickly, communicated clearly, and remained solution-focused from start to finish. What we appreciated most was that they still honored their original estimate despite the added complexity.

The quality of the installation and attention to detail were outstanding, and it was clear they take pride in doing the job properly. It’s refreshing to work with electricians who are reliable, fair, and committed to customer satisfaction. We would gladly use them again and highly recommend them to anyone needing electrical work or service upgrades.

I have been dealing with 24/7 Electric for many years. All the technicians I have dealt with have been personable and efficient. Today, the technician, John, replaced the outside outlet. He completed the job in no time. I was happy with the cost of the job. John has done a few jobs for me and in all cases, I have been pleased with his work. He is very personable and efficient and I recommend him.

Great service. I had a technician fix the light in my curio which is a job they don’t do. (attached is a picture of the curio but the bulb isn’t the correct bulb). Both the technician and trainee were very efficient and personable. I have had this company do numerous electrical work and received excellent service. They have all been very efficient and personable. I definitely recommend them.

This is the second time we have used 24/7 for permanent lights! Very happy!! They did the front and back of our house. We were so happy that we had them back for our under cabinet lighting and an electrical floor box. 🙂 great crew, they don’t disappoint.
