This course highlights everything you need to know about electrical work within your home. The course is open to everyone but some classes will be exclusively women only. The mission behind this is to make women feel more comfortable learning aspects of trades in a comfortable environment as most women don’t get opportunities to learn trades skills.

Many homes have aluminum wiring, you will leave with the ability to decide what option is best for your situation.

Lighting Upgrades
Moved into a new house or need a change of scenery? New light fixtures can completely transform a space with modern designs, better quality and more efficient lighting output.
Electrical Panel Replacement
Electrical equipment in your home can cause problems the older it gets. In homes over 50 years old it is recommended to have the electrical panel replaced to prevent electrical fires and disruptions to the incoming electricity to your home.
Basement Developments
Let’s build your dream basement with all the perks you want!
Surge Protection
Installations
Do you have a home business with sensitive equipment? A serge protector can keep your computers and servers safe from electricity fluctuations.
Infrared Thermal Scanning
It is recommended to have your electrical system thermal scanned every 5 years in Alberta. It is good to know what is going on behind the cover and catch causes of electrical fires before they happen.
Aluminum Wiring Remediation
Many homes built before 1975 have aluminum wiring. It is possible to live with Aluminum but extra precautions should be taken during renovations to ensure there are no risks associated with leaving it.
Arc Flash Coordination Studies
It is important to be aware of arc flash boundaries while working around electrical equipment. If you have equipment for your business near or in an electrical room it is important to know the risks and how to keep yourself safe.

About Chelsea
I love what I do because it is not something everyone can achieve. Being a woman in a trade is not easy and getting as far as I have is not common. I love to fix problems, you can’t see electricity so it’s hard to find the problem sometimes but that is my specialty, finding solutions no one else can.
Hera is unique because it is a woman owned and operated company built around making other women feel comfortable having electrical work done in their home and confidence they are not being taken advantage of. Most women do not know much about trades work and they are at higher risk of getting outrageous quotes from contractors, thus one of the key services we provide is our Workshop that helps empower women with knowledge of how to do basic household electrical work so they feel more confident working on their own.
