A new chapter for Pr1mo Electric & Access — and a milestone I’ll never forget has been confirmed. ♾️⚡

​I am incredibly proud to share that I have officially been approved and registered as a Citizen of the Métis Nation of Alberta (Otipemisiwak Métis Government).

​For me, this goes far beyond a piece of paper or a registration number. It connects my family directly back to generations of Métis trade masters, boat builders, and wilderness navigators—the original O-TEE-PAYM-SOO-WUK ("the people who own themselves").
​I’ve been holding onto our new Pr1mo Electric & Access logo design until this moment was official, and with National Day for Truth and Reconciliation approaching, the timing couldn't be more meaningful.

​If you look closely at our new logo, right in the heart of the structural steel truss—representing the heavy access platforms, and electrical foundations we build every day—is the Métis infinity symbol. It represents endless growth, resilience, and the bridge between our history and our future.

​Building an Indigenous-owned trade business in Alberta is about setting an example for my kids, creating lasting value for our clients, and proving what’s possible when you honor where you come from while building where you're going.

​Thank you to our clients, crew, family, and community for standing behind Primo Electric & Access. We are just getting started!

Level 2 EV Chargers — The 50A Daily Recovery
​
​It's not "just another plug." It’s an industrial circuit in your residential garage. 🚘⚡

​Installing a Level 2 EV charger gives you 40–50 km of recovered range per hour of charging right at home.

​The Pros: Waking up to a "full tank" every morning; zero gas station stops; lower cost per kilometer. The amount of time/stress saved from no pump lineups. Just come home, plug in, forget about it until the morning.

The Cons: A continuous 40A to 50A draw running for 4–8 hours straight overnight. Slapping this onto a maxed-out panel without dynamic management mathematically fails code.

​The Pr1mo Standard:
Master Electrician Cory Clarke completes an official CEC load calculation sheet before touch-down. We evaluate your service entry, submit municipal permits, Uograde the service if needed, or install EVEMS (Electric Vehicle Energy Management Systems) that throttle charging if household demand spikes.
​
What if your EV charger could automatically communicate with your entire panel—charging at max speed only when the rest of the house is asleep?

Hot Tubs & Saunas — Continuous High-Thermal Draw
​
​50 Amps of continuous thermal draw. Is your panel quietly melting? 🛁🔥

​Adding a backyard hot tub or indoor infrared sauna creates an incredible home spa experience, but it is one of the most electrically demanding additions a homeowner can make.

​The Pros: Year-round wellness, hydrotherapy, and elevated property enjoyment.

The Cons: A 50A continuous load running for hours at a time. If connections aren't torqued to exact inch-pound specifications, continuous heat creates atmospheric oxidation, loose jaws, and severe micro-arcing.

​The Pr1mo Standard:
We don't take shortcuts with water and high voltage. Every Pr1mo installation features Class A GFCI protection, CEC-compliant bonding, municipal permits (City of Calgary / Area), and inspections.
​
A hot tub heater drawing 5,000W continuously leaves almost zero headroom on a standard 100A panel for anything else. How do you run both without paying $10,000 for utility trenching? Stay tuned.

Central Air Conditioning — The Summer Peak Demand Spike
​​Surviving a July heatwave in Calgary shouldn't trip your main breaker. ☀️30°C

​As Alberta summers get hotter, central air conditioning has shifted from a luxury to an essential comfort item.

​The Pros: Whole-home climate control, humidity reduction, and better sleep during 30°C+ summer stretches.

The Cons: High locked-rotor inrush current (LRA). When an A/C compressor kicks on, it demands a massive spike of instantaneous amperage—putting intense pressure on a legacy 100A main service.

​The Pr1mo Standard:
We evaluate motor starting current, install soft-start kits where necessary to prevent light flickering, and verify that your branch circuit is interlocked against winter heating loads under CEC Rule 8-200.
​
When your A/C compressor spikes demand on a hot afternoon, does your electrical panel know how to prioritize household power? There is a smarter way. Ask us how...

Sub-zero Calgary mornings shouldn't mean a $300 jump on your ENMAX bill. 🥶🚘

​An electric garage heater (3,500W to 10,000W) is one of the single best winter upgrades for Southern Alberta homeowners. It keeps your engine block warm, protects tools, keeps those vehicle interiors warm and creates a functional workspace year-round.

​The Pros: Instant, clean heat; zero gas line venting required; precise thermostat control.

The Cons: A massive continuous 30A to 50A electrical draw that fires up during the coldest, highest-rate utility hours of the day.

​The Pr1mo Standard:
Slapping a generic 40A breaker into a maxed-out panel leads to nuisance trips and melted terminal screws. Master Electrician Cory Clarke calculates panel capacity compliance to the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) standards, recommends/installs your required heating solution, and all completely permitted/inspected.

What if your garage heater only drew full power when electricity rates were lowest—and automatically backed off when your kitchen range turned on? That would be pretty "Smart" eh?
