Questions to resolve
- 01Locate the documented service rating at the meter and main disconnect; a 200A enclosure does not prove a 200A service.
- 02Confirm whether the supply is overhead or underground and identify the meter/utility boundary.
- 03Verify permit authority and distribution utility for the exact address in Calgary / utility unconfirmed; municipal boundaries alone do not establish the utility.
- 04List existing and proposed loads before choosing a panel or service size.
- 05Document existing circuits, meter, service disconnect and available panel spaces.
- 06Ask what a repair, panel-only change, additional distribution and service change each solve.
- 07Document available circuit positions and reasons for any proposed distribution change.
- 08Ask who will retain the condition and inspection records for hand-off.
- 09Check whether proposed work changes tenancy or metering.
- 10Ask whether any outdoor equipment is planned.
- 11List any detached-building or workshop feeder plans.
- 12Ask who will apply for the permit, coordinate isolation, arrange inspection and confirm reconnection before scheduling.
