Who regulates repair work in Alberta

In Alberta, electrical, gas and plumbing work falls under the Safety Codes Act: permits are issued by the municipality or an accredited agency, and the work is inspected. Trades are certified through Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training. A contractor that takes a deposit before starting work needs a prepaid contracting business licence from Service Alberta.

Consumer complaints and contract questions go to Service Alberta consumer protection. Workers’ compensation coverage, which protects you if a tradesperson is injured on your property, is verified through WCB Alberta. Old electronics can be dropped off free through Alberta Recycling.

In a condominium corporation, shared systems such as risers, venting and common wiring usually need the condo board’s sign-off before work, and most buildings require elevator bookings and contractor registration at the desk.
