Historic Homes & Escarpment Properties

Established Suburban Homes
East and West Waterdown, Dundas Street corridor properties from 1980s-2000s have aluminum wiring in select homes, aging 100-amp panels, missing GFCI/AFCI protection, and capacity constraints for modern renovation demands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about lighting installation in Waterdown homes.
Pot light installation typically costs $150-$250 per fixture depending on ceiling type, accessibility, and electrical work required. Basement finishes often include 15-25 pot lights ($3,000-$6,000).

Simple fixture replacements don't require permits. Adding new circuits, running new wiring, or installing multiple pot lights requires ESA electrical permits. Basement finishes and major renovations also need City of Hamilton building permits. We manage all permit applications, ESA inspections, and municipal coordination as part of our comprehensive service.
Many Waterdown homes have 100-amp panels that may be near capacity, especially with EV chargers, heat pumps, or basement finishes. We conduct electrical load calculations and recommend service upgrades where needed. LED lights use minimal power, but panel upgrades are often beneficial for future capacity, safety, and resale value.
