What Calgary homeowners and businesses ask us most before booking a service.
What electrical services does Shock Stop offer in Calgary?
Emergency electrical repair (with after-hours emergency calls), repair and troubleshooting, panel and service upgrades, EV chargers, aluminum wiring remediation, renovation electrical, residential wiring and new builds, commercial fit-outs and LED retrofits, pot lights, solar, basement suites, surge protection, hot tub wiring and multifamily electrical — all licensed, permitted and inspected.
Do you handle both residential and commercial electrical work?
Yes. We split our time between Calgary homes and businesses — from a single-panel upgrade or basement suite to a full commercial tenant fit-out or multifamily new build — with the same licensed team and permit-and-inspect process on every job.
Can you upgrade my panel or install an EV charger?
Yes, both are among our most requested jobs. Panel upgrades (commonly to 200A) support modern loads and future EV charging; EV charger installs are sized to your vehicle, panel capacity and garage layout. Each is quoted up front with the permit included.
Do you fix aluminum wiring or other older electrical systems?
Yes. Aluminum wiring remediation — pigtailing with approved connectors or a broader rewire — is a core service, along with troubleshooting and repair for older panels, knob-and-tube remnants and general electrical faults in older Calgary homes.
Do you work outside Calgary — acreages and rural properties?
Yes. As a mobile electrical contractor we serve Calgary plus communities within about 100 km, including acreage and rural properties, and handle the wiring, panel and service-entrance work those properties often need.
How do I know which service I need for my project?
You don't have to — describe the problem or project through our quote form or by phone, and we will identify the right service, scope it, and give you a clear, fixed, up-front price with the permit included.
Not sure what you need? Just ask.
Describe the problem or project and we’ll tell you the right fix and a fair price — no obligation.
