Install or Replace Electrical Systems

New wiring encompasses the process of installing or replacing electrical systems including wires, and related components (like outlets, switches, and panels) to energize a building or a specific area within it. Ensuring electrical codes and safety standards are followed, testing and inspection after install ensure the new components are functional and safe.

When adding a new circuit breaker to your electrical panel this is considered new wiring according to Nova Scotia Power. Nova Scotia Power has very specific criteria for what they decide requires an electrical permit. It is always best to consult with an electrician and check with Nova Scotia Power before proceeding with any new wiring.

We recommend not doing just the minimum current requirements. Have a plan for the future in case you may have additional electrical needs. It is much more economical to address these early.

New Wiring Applications

  • Backup Power System: Living in a hurricane-prone area such as Nova Scotia, power outages can be frequent and for prolonged periods. It is always a good idea to have the ability to maintain at least limited power during extended outages. BW Electric provides wiring options for 2 systems to keep the power on.
    Examples include:
  • High-Demand Equipment: Two of the most common high-demand pieces of equipment desired by home owners are hot tubs and EV chargers. Most hot tubs require a 50 amp breaker or higher. Level 2 EV chargers give a customer the ability to fast-charge their vehicle in their own home. EV chargers can start at 40 amp and go up from there. If you are considering both a hot tub and EV charger, inquire about a Load Management System as well.
    Examples include:
    • Hot Tub
    • EV Charger
  • Appliances: Sometimes you do some remodeling or add and in-law/apartment suite. Maybe this includes relocating outlets or adding an additional dryer or oven outlet. These are 30 amp and 40 amp outlets respectively and require large gauge wire to properly for electrical code requirements. Always hire an electrician to tackle these two specific wiring jobs for appliance outlets.
    Examples include:
    • Dryer Outlet
    • Oven Outlet
  • Lighting: With electricity rates continuing to climb it makes sense to replace old technology like halogen fixtures and bulbs. Newer technology energy efficient LED fixtures and bulbs are replacing everything on the market. Or maybe you're just looking to change a room, or brighten up that dark basement with some potlights. We can set you up with multiple options.
    Examples include:
    • Potlights
    • Energy-efficient LED Lighting
