Can you spot the apprentice updating the wiring on this boat not charging the house battery bank? Corvette engine, Malibu stamp. This vessel headed for fresh water for good, and away from the wicked salt waters of the coast. #fullyelectric https://www.instagram.com/p/CQCQZKEsZCd/?utm_medium=tumblr
Not all boats are made equal. Cheers to the weekend, and not having a project that looks like this. #fullyelectric https://www.instagram.com/p/CQCQJ46Mv2v/?utm_medium=tumblr
A job well done. 1. Starter battery wouldn't start engine ✅ 2. Battery wiring incorrectly lugged and sealed ✅ 3. Numerous loads constantly powered from house bank ✅ 4. Battery charger leads incorrectly placed ✅ 5. Radar not working ✅ 6. Running lights both bow and stern not working ✅ 7. Alternator wiring corroded ✅ 8. Starter motor wiring corroded ✅ 8. Non marine grade wiring powering instruments ✅ 9. Courtesy lights not working ✅ 10. Shower sump not working ✅ 11. Breaker panel unlabeled to make troubleshooting extra interesting ✅ 12. No switched distribution ✅ https://www.instagram.com/p/CP4p0TlsZML/?utm_medium=tumblr
An absolute pleasure tackling some starting/charging and battery issues as well as some high efficiency LED lighting upgrades to @yvanfit beautiful Catalina. A load test, some corrosion removal and some cleaning up of the Nav lights and this boat is seaworthy once a again. #fullyelectric https://www.instagram.com/p/CPo6LDGMRRT/?utm_medium=tumblr
One of our trusted clients called us mentioning that their commercial cooking equipment was down. Our main guy Ziggy headed out to find this situation behind the unit. Breaker and wiring was ok, but this plug had had enough. A trip over to the local wholesaler and some 3phase parts later and it was back up in running before the mad lunch rush. This commercial kitchen serves over 1000 meals a day to our community most at risk and we're more than happy to be there at the drop of a hat to keep them moving. #fullyelectric https://www.instagram.com/p/CNoXiOIsqCZ/?igshid=7wmpnh7gk915
A pretty badass barrel sauna we helped hook up for one of our good friends. Ditch witch ✔ Trenching ✔ Demand calculation ✔ Outdoor landscape plug ✔ Sauna heater mounting ✔ #fullyelectric ✔ https://www.instagram.com/p/CEFVGefhJ97/?igshid=ofor2ly4yy97
All looks good, right? This tandem 15amp breaker seemed fine in appearance... The lights, plugs and microwave (not to code) were not working in this condo that had been subject to a renovation some time ago. After testing the breakers for voltage, this breaker which appeared to be on, was only showing power when wiggled and arced while doing so. Anyone who knows anything about electrical, sparks and arcing aren't your friend. After inspecting the bus bars of this panel and realizing they had been charred and melted over time, we did a quick breaker replacement in a new breaker spot with virgin bus bars. All is well that ends well. The microwave separation is a story for another day, but lights, plugs and microwave now work without worry. Call us, and we'll use our experience and top of the line tools to make sure you and your home are safe. #fullyelectric https://www.instagram.com/p/CDUzVujhkgK/?igshid=p3val5jwwtzq

A little solar install at a local marina we completed last week. This one was fun and a nice in and out after finding our cable routing. 🌞🌞🌞🌞 https://www.instagram.com/p/CBodDPsBGPR/?igshid=dus8kph73bq
Smart. Mysa line voltage baseboard wifi thermostats. Control from your phone, and easily programmable. ...and a Canadian company. Swap out your old rotary thermostat and reduce energy loss by 30%. This seems like a no brainers to us. https://www.instagram.com/p/CAI9F-Lhsuf/?igshid=e3vxdk15ysyd
Playing with a bit of DC today, a little bit of AC as well. Swapping out the ac panel on this 35 foot sailboat and added a full set of lithium batteries. With the amount of wiring that's been pieced together by different owners over the years it was a challenge we were glad to take on. If you've got a boat, or questions about how a boat should be safely wired give us a call or shoot us a message.

We'll be working on this beauty 45 foot sailboat and be convert it to an electric drive. Our first thought was where is this motor coming from and how big does our lithium ion (or lithium iron phosphate) battery bank need to be. 2 things to consider when talking batteries. AGM would come in at a much more desirable price point, but the energy density is almost half. Secondly the discharge of an AGM battery is recommended to be 40-50% depending on brand (carbon foam fireflys excluded). Lithium ion can be closer to full discharge making the usable energy capacity much much greater and taking up a significantly smaller footprint on the boat. Besides battery type and consideration of the voltage requirements of the on-board electric retrofit motor, which could be anywhere from 12-48 volt, we will either be coupling the house bank with the lithium motor bank with an ACR (automatic charging relay) or simply switching the house bank out and having one bank for both systems. Because we'll be eliminating the "generating feature" of the alternator on the dual diesel on-board motors, shore power will be the fastest and most efficient way to charge the motor/house bank, but it will also eliminate the the ability to turn on the engine for a quick battery top up when at anchor especially when using more demanding loads - keeping beer cold, music going, small appliances and unconverted incandescent lighting going are huge energy sucks when out at sea. That all considered, a backup generator for emergency battery top up will be considered. Supplemental solar will be added, and we'll be looking at a small microhydro turbine to give supplemental charge when the sails are up. Our boat jobs have been limited to only close friends and family, but we'll never turn down the opportunity to get on a boat & put our skills to use. Can you tell we're looking forward to this project? Hopefully there will be cold beer in the fridge when our first week is complete and Friday hits 😉 https://www.instagram.com/p/B860BfzB-cx/?igshid=1gznzyo2m6s2v
Wish we had a before picture of this soffit retrofit... but then we realized, you wouldn't be able to see anything anyways. Lighting makes a world of difference. #fullyelectric https://www.instagram.com/p/B8alMozBNXB/?igshid=119m97n2gpqur
Troubleshooting the last couple of issues with a very old Litetouch2000 system in West Vancouver. Clients aren't ready to do a full retrofit of HomeworkQS quite yet. One of the circuits would not turn on and off as usual and seemed to latch when the switch was turned on, making the lights impossible to switch off... Some old keypads off of Ebay to replace the contacts on some other existing keypads and a bit of reprogramming on the latching circuit and we had the system up and working properly again. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8akwbMBy-C/?igshid=19xa3a559twtq
We like drawing on pictures... We also feel that clear, concise communication is a huge part of our success. It keeps our clients happy, and gives us instant feedback. So many times a phone conversation, text or email can get misconstrued. When what an experienced trades person with over 10 years experience would think would be 'common sense' or quite obvious, to a new home owner, or client who's new to hiring a trades company, it isn't. We try our best to take the guessing game our of the equation, and time and time again we receive feedback on how appreciated our methods are. We truly believe the simplest things, such as clear communication and planning are the x-factors to completing even the smallest of projects to our clients liking. Here's to more doodling on pictures, more check ins with clients and contractors, and more concise answers to keep our guys and our workflow going in the best possible way. Onward and upward in 2020. Thanks for stopping by and listening to our rants. ☝️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B8LHxx2hXAy/?igshid=da4kc8zo260y
