The expert consensus is broad: the most direct path toward a clean energy future is to replace technologies that still run on combustion — including gasoline vehicles and natural gas heating and cooling — with alternatives that run on electricity, such as electric vehicles and heat pumps, all tapping into renewable or low-carbon power sources. Call it the First Law of Decarbonization: everything that can be electrified, will be.
Often the cable lengths can be too long and place too high a load on the breaker. Always consult load and length charts from the manufacturer when sizing circuits.
Static Electric was founded in 1976 as an electrical contracting business in Winnipeg, Manitoba. As a family-owned business Static Electric has steadily grown to include a full fleet of service vehicles, and in response to technological advances expanded in the early 1980s to include a networking and cabling division.
One of the truly ironic things in life is that the events that shape us, make us stronger than we would be otherwise and define our adult selves are, frequently, bad things.

Recent research and new requirements in the 2018 Canadian Electrical Code, Part I and NFPA 70E – Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace form the basis of the new and improved CSA Z462.
General electrical supplies drive electrical product sales in Canada with 27% of the market mix, followed closely by lighting with 19%.
The value of building permits issued by Canadian municipalities declined 7.7% to $7.7 billion in November 2017, the first decrease in three months. Nationally, the value of permits for all building components declined, with the exception of single-family dwellings.

Much media coverage during the last year has focussed on the emergence of robots, artificial intelligence technologies (AI), and the threat this poses to a significant number of Canadian jobs.
See how the rates for electricians working in electrical engineering compare to technicians, engineers and others.
David Johns is a unique and dedicated individual both at home and in the workplace. At home he is a dedicated husband and father, but when the work days starts David spends most of his time teaching a new wave of electricians.
After two years of work, Lightemotion has added another noteworthy project to its list with the lighting design for Gatineau’s Canadian Museum of History.
