When You Need Our App

Our app streamlines your project planning—from secondary suite additions and laneway houses to EV charger installations and large appliance setups. Explore when you need a load calculation.

Secondary Suite Additions

Secondary suite additions require precise electrical load calculations to ensure safety and code compliance. Proper planning guarantees that your existing electrical system can handle the added demand without risk of overload.

Laneway/Backyard Houses

Laneway or backyard houses require careful electrical load assessments to ensure safe integration with existing systems and compliance with electrical codes. Proper planning mitigates the risk of overload and supports efficient energy distribution.

EV Charger & Hot Tub Installations

EV charger installations require precise load calculations to ensure safe integration and code compliance. Review your load calculation to determine whether a load shedding device is necessary or if your existing service can support the additional demand.

Inspector Requested

Even though homeowners can perform their own electrical work, inspectors may require a load calculation during inspections—and it must be signed off by a master electrician to confirm accuracy and safety. Our app streamlines this process, providing precise calculations and generating the necessary documentation for a master electrician’s signature, ensuring you meet all code and compliance requirements.

How It Works

Step 1

Gather essential details: measure your living space in square meters and note the wattage draws of your key appliances. Record the nameplate ratings for electric heating and cooling units, spa & pool equipment, electric range, EV charger (if applicable), and any additional loads over 1500W. This foundational data ensures an accurate calculation.

Step 2

Enter the data from Step 1 into the calculator. This simple input process helps you verify that every detail is captured correctly.

Step 3

Click the "Calculate" button to generate your load calculation instantly. Optionally, submit your results for review by a master electrician who can sign off on your calculation if required.
