A backup generator keeps your essential systems like heating, lighting, refrigeration running smoothly. Continuity of service can also protect against data corruption, loss of time, and keep essential systems such as medical equipment running ensuring safety, and comfort during emergencies.
What generator is right for your needs? Every property is unique. A professional assessment can determine the right generator size and type for your electrical system, such as portable generators which are ideal for smaller or temporary use, or standby generators which are permanently installed. We use only the best generator brands because quality matters. Leading brands like Generac, Kohler, and Cummins offer reliable performance and durability.
Our expert electricians ensure seamless integration with your systems, maximizing efficiency and longevity. We utilize industry leading technology such as automatic transfer switches to ensure your building has power when you need it.
Pools, Hot Tubs, and Sauna Wiring
Water and electricity don't mix well. That's why professional wiring is a must for the electrical systems of your properties' pools, hot tubs, and saunas. Our licensed electricians will ensure your installation is safe, is up to local standards and regulations, and protects your family and property from electrical hazards.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are required for all wet-location installations. These devices detect ground faults as little as 4mA and cut power instantly to prevent shocks. GP Electric offers custom wiring for each installation, such as underwater lights, pumps and heaters for pools; control panels, jets and heaters for hot tubs; and heating elements that demand high capacity, heat resistant wiring for saunas.
Moisture, chemicals, and Calgary's harsh weather can wear down standard wiring. That's why it's essential to use outdoor-rated, corrosion-resistant materials when he installation calls for it. This ensures your systems stays safe and functional, even through freezing winters and temperature swings. Regular professional inspections, testing GFCI's, checking wiring and verifying connections can help keep your system safe and sound.
Residential and Commercial New Builds

Professionals plan for scalability, so you won't need a costly overhaul when it's time to grow or modernize. We also take the time and care to ensure that your systems optimize for energy use, reducing your utility bills. Techniques such as power factor correction for high inductive loads can help save you thousands of dollars on your electricity bill by installing capacitor banks.
We know the electrical industry, and that's why you should trust us with as your electrical contractor for your projects.

LED lighting installations also have the capability of smart control, giving you the ability to adjust brightness or change the colours or colour temperature of your space.
If you're looking for a lighting upgrade, our experts will evaluate your setup, choose the right products, and provide you with a professional installation. Afterwards, we will test the system and you can enjoy all its benefits.
Outlet / Receptacle Installations (Including USB-C and USB-A)
Why upgrade to modern outlets? Upgrading your outlets to include USB-C and USB-A ports offers several benefits such as convenience, space saving, and future proofing.
GP Electric offers a variety of outlet and receptacle installations such as standard outlets, GFCI outlets, USB-A, USB-C, and combination outlets which can include switches or other devices.
Security System Installations
Security systems are important to guard against break-ins, vandalism, and protect against other risks. These systems create peace of mind, ensuring your property is monitored, even when you're away.
At GP Electric, we install security systems which provide an under 30 second emergency response, informing personnel and emergency services of the issue. Some insurers even offer discounts for secured buildings, providing savings to you, and can also add value to your property for potential buyers. We install cameras, motion sensors, alarms, door/window sensors, smart locks, all overseen by a central control panel.
Solar Panel Installations
Solar panels are devices that convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells. These cells capture the sun's energy and turn it into DC electricity, which is then converted to AC by an inverter for use in your home or business.
Solar panels are a clean, renewable energy source that can power everything from lights to appliances. Installing solar panels can help you lower your energy bills, increase your property value, gain energy independence, and can even open your doors to government incentives.
Our electricians at GP Electric will evaluate your property's sun exposure, roof condition, and electrical system to determine the best setup.
Ceiling and Bathroom Fan Installations
Ceiling and bathroom fans are instrumental to any home or businesses' ventilation system. These fans can help to remove moisture, odors, and stale air. They help prevent mold, mildew, and damage to walls and fixtures by expelling humid air outside.
They improve air circulation, enhancing comfort year-round, and can reduce energy costs by allowing you to adjust your thermostat without sacrificing comfort. We ensure the fans vent directly outside, to effectively remove moisture, and recommend the best fan models for maximum efficiency.
At GP Electric, our experts consider important variables such as your room size, style of fan to match the rooms decor, as well as factoring in noise levels to ensure that a clean, quiet atmosphere is maintained. Ceiling and bathroom fans are valuable additions to any space, and GP Electric can help you meet your needs with our seamless installation.
Emergency and 24 Hour Electrical Services
GP Electric Offers Emergency and 24 Hour Electrical Services to serve your needs at any time of day. Whether you have a power outage, sparking outlets or wires, burning smells from electrical components, or anything else, we will have a solution for you, at any time of day.
Power Factor Correction
Power factor correction (PFC) enhances energy efficiency by improving the power factor, reducing energy waste and lower costs.
How does it work? If your commercial or industrial space has many inductive loads, you may be getting charged extra on your energy bill, or even paying a surcharge if your power factor is below 90%.
Power factor is the ratio of real power (kW) to apparent power (kVA). Inductive loads such as motors, transformers, or even fluorescent lighting can contribute to a poor power factor.
Installing a capacitor bank can help counteract this, and help you save on your energy bill and avoid any utility penalties, as well as enhance voltage stability.
