Areas We Serve
Licensed Electrician in Cochrane, Alberta
Cochrane’s housing stock covers a wide range. Established homes in Cochrane Heights, West Terrace, and Riverview date back to the 1970s and 80s. Newer builds in Sunset Ridge, Fireside, Heartland, Rivercrest, and Heritage Hills came online through the 2010s and 2020s. Add in acreage properties around Bearspaw, Springbank, and the Highway 22 corridor, and the electrical needs vary as much as the properties themselves.
Crew Technical Services works with Cochrane homeowners across all of it. Our licensed electricians handle in-town panel work, acreage service upgrades, EV charging, and the safety upgrades that keep older Cochrane homes insurable and up to current code.
What We Do
Electrical Services for Cochrane Homes and Acreages
Whether you own a two-storey in Sunset Ridge, a bungalow in Cochrane Heights, or an acreage off Grand Valley Road, Crew Technical Services plans the work around your actual property, service capacity, and long-term plans.
Panel and Service Upgrades
Cochrane homes built before the 2000s were often wired with 60A or 100A service. That worked when the home was built, but modern loads (Level 2 EV chargers, hot tubs, air conditioning, heated garages, secondary suites) usually push those panels past their limits. We assess your existing service, run a proper load calculation, and upgrade to 200A when the numbers back it up.
Aluminum Wiring Remediation
Homes built in Cochrane during the 1970s often used aluminum branch wiring. Insurers increasingly require documented remediation before renewal. We inspect connections, apply approved remediation methods, and provide the paperwork your insurer will ask for.
EV Charger Installation
Level 2 charger installs for Tesla, Ford, Rivian, Chevy, and any other make. We verify panel capacity, run a dedicated circuit, and position the charger where you actually park, including cold-climate mounting considerations for Cochrane winters.
Acreage and Rural Electrical
Acreage properties around Cochrane come with their own considerations: long service runs from the utility, detached shops and garages, well pumps, standby generators, and outdoor lighting spread across the property. We handle sub-panels for shops, buried service runs, generator interlocks, and the coordination with Fortis Alberta that acreage projects usually require.
Generac Standby Generator Installation
Power outages hit Cochrane harder than central Calgary, especially on acreages and along Highway 22. As an authorized Generac dealer, we install automatic standby generators sized to your home, wire the transfer switch, and commission the system so it kicks in without you touching anything.
Hot Tub and Outdoor Electrical
Hot tub hookups, backyard outlets, landscape lighting, and detached garage circuits all require proper bonding, grounding, and GFCI protection. We handle the panel work, run the circuit, and coordinate the inspection so the setup is legal, safe, and holds up through a Cochrane winter.
Common Electrical Needs in Cochrane Homes
The work we do in Cochrane usually falls into three buckets.
Newer subdivisions like Sunset Ridge, Fireside, Heartland, Rivercrest, and Heritage Hills often need capacity added once EV chargers, hot tubs, air conditioning, or basement developments get layered on. Load management or a service upgrade to 200A is the common answer.
Older stock in Cochrane Heights, West Terrace, Riverview, and central Cochrane frequently needs aluminum wiring remediation, panel replacement, or grounding upgrades before insurers renew comfortably.
Acreage properties around Cochrane bring their own set: long service runs, detached shop sub-panels, well pump circuits, standby generators, and outdoor lighting. These jobs need proper planning up front so the work holds up through multiple winters and the paperwork is clean.
Whichever situation your property falls into, we assess what you have, tell you what it actually needs, and quote the work honestly.

Answers to Common Questions
Do you serve acreage properties outside of Cochrane town limits?
Yes. We regularly work acreages around Cochrane, Bearspaw, Springbank, and along Highway 22. Acreage work often needs coordination with Rocky View County for permits and Fortis Alberta for service changes, and we handle that end-to-end.
Do you pull permits and coordinate with inspectors in Cochrane?
Yes. Panel upgrades, secondary suite wiring, hot tub circuits, and other permitted work require an electrical permit through the Town of Cochrane or Rocky View County, depending on the property. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and close out the paperwork.
My Cochrane home was built in the 1970s. Should I worry about aluminum wiring?
Possibly. Many Cochrane homes from that era were wired with aluminum branch circuits, and insurers increasingly ask for documented remediation. We inspect the panel, test connections, apply approved remediation methods, and provide the documentation your insurer will ask for.
Can you install a standby generator for my acreage?
Yes. As an authorized Generac dealer, we install automatic standby generators sized to your property, wire the transfer switch, and commission the system. Acreages typically benefit from a 14kW or 22kW unit depending on load, and we spec the right size based on your actual usage.
What warranty does Crew Technical Services provide?
We back our workmanship and supplied materials with a 1-year warranty, along with any applicable manufacturer coverage on the products we install.
