Plenty of electrical jobs out here start with a long gap between where the power is and where it's needed. The shop sits well back from the house, the bin yard is across the yard, the sauna is down by the water. Running that power underground keeps it out of the way of equipment, snow and trees, and that's what our trenching services are for.
We dig the trench, lay the cable or conduit at the depth the code requires, put warning tape over it and backfill. Buried lines are located through Sask 1st Call before anyone digs. Because the same licensed contractor does the trenching and the wiring, nothing is left half-finished between two companies, and the run is sized properly for the load at the far end.
Lift services cover the other direction: tall yard lights, high shop and warehouse fixtures, signs, rooflines and anything else past the top of a sensible ladder. It's also how we reach high rooflines for Gemstone permanent lights. Trenching is easiest between spring thaw and freeze-up, so book early if the job has to be done before winter.

Why Baer Electric
Local, licensed, and accountable.
-
One crew, start to finish
We dig, lay, wire and connect, so the run is sized for the load and nobody is waiting on another contractor.
-
Located before we dig
Buried lines are located through Sask 1st Call before the trench is opened.
-
Done to code
Cable or conduit at the depth the Canadian Electrical Code requires, with warning tape above it.
-
Planned around frost
With a regional frost-free season of roughly 96 days, we book trenching for the months the ground cooperates.
-
Up high, safely
Lift equipment for work past a ladder's reach: yard lights, high fixtures, signs and rooflines.
