Electrical Services for Acreages & Farms

Our team has worked with acreage and farm owners throughout southern Alberta designing power and lighting solutions for their whole properties including machine shops, barns, garages, homes, lighting, fencing, livestock needs, and property security. With our experience and expertise, we offer consulting services to design innovative new solutions and cleverly adapt existing setups to make your property function efficiently according to your business needs.

Prairie Electric & Controls can complete the full electrical setup for a farm machine shop, including full wiring underground service, or overhead service if requested, gas line installation, and water line installation. With our trenching equipment and bucket truck, we can provide all the services needed to get your shop set up and operational.

Prairie Electric & Controls owns and operates trenching equipment ensuring your project will not be delayed by subcontractors. While doing any trenching for electrical work, you can also run other utility lines needed as the trenching work is done. Work with our team for a one-stop-shop solution for your underground electrical projects.

We can install and calibrate new lighting systems for your property, repair existing systems, and install light poles. We own both trenching equipment for installing new light standards, and a bucket truck for installation and repairs, providing a comprehensive solution for all your rural property lighting projects.

Our team can install and repair livestock waterers throughout your property including any trenching services required. We can also consult with you to determine the most strategic placements to minimize costs and help you choose waterers for our climate that will meet your livestock needs.

Prepare for a power interruption on your property. We can consult with you to determine your power supply needs, acquire a generator through our suppliers, install the generator system, and set up a transfer switch for your generator connection.

Our team can handle any repairs and upgrades to your existing gate system, or install new automatic yard or driveway gates on your property. View our projects to see photos of recent gate installations.

Improve your property security with Prairie Electric & Controls. We can supply and install yard monitoring and surveillance systems or install the equipment you’ve already purchased.

Prairie Electric & Controls can complete inspections of your whole property and provide a report that lists any upgrading work required to meet code and safety standards. Depending on your specific system, we will audit panels and wiring, perform thermal imaging, check for code violations, inspect surge protections, and complete any necessary testing and troubleshooting.

Provide heat for your home, shop, barn, or heat your driveways to remove snow and ice in the winter. Our team can install and set up boilers, program them, and troubleshoot issues if they are not functioning properly.

If you are considering solar power for your property, our team can consult with you on your options, install the system, and provide service and maintenance. Whether you are considering an off-grid system tied to your home power grid, or a grid-tied system that stores energy in the utility grid and allows you to sell excess power, we can design and build a system to meet your unique requirements.

All overhead electrical work required on your property can be handled by our team with our bucket truck services. Ideal for replacing or repairing lights, repairing or installing new light standards, and repairing or upgrading overhead utilities throughout your property.

We can complete trenching for underground power lines with our trenching services. Our team owns and operates trenching equipment so all underground electrical work required on your property can be completed by our team rather than waiting for another contractor to provide these services.
