Vancouver Island Area homeowners may be curious to learn how electricity is installed in a house in Canada. Electricity enters the home through a service head via an underground connection or a series of outdoor power lines. Most service heads are made up of two 120-volt wires, in addition to one neutral wire, which delivers power directly to the lights, appliances, HVAC units, and electronics in your home. In Canada, all new houses are required to have a 220-volt main electrical panel with circuit breakers.

The average Canadian household uses anywhere from 9,000 to 11,000 kWh of energy per year. However, the amount of electricity you will need depends on the size of your home and your specific usage. The more lighting, appliances, and entertainment you have in your home, the more electricity you will use. The appliances that typically consume the most electricity in a home are air conditioning and heating units, as well as water heating, major kitchen appliances, lights, and televisions.
