Powering an ADU in Cambridge: Adding a Second Service for a Backyard Tiny Home

At Dr. Sparky Electrical Contracting Ltd., we’re proud to take on unique projects that improve our customers’ homes and lifestyles across Brantford, Cambridge, Hamilton, Brant County, Kitchener, Waterloo, and Ancaster. One of our most recent jobs was in Cambridge, where a homeowner needed additional power to supply a new accessory dwelling unit (ADU) – a tiny home in their backyard.

Our customer’s vision for this backyard ADU required a dedicated and reliable electrical supply, and the best solution was to add a second electrical service to the property. John Landsborough and the Dr. Sparky team carefully coordinated the installation, ensuring everything complied with electrical codes, safety standards, and long-term efficiency.

As shown in the photo, this process involved setting up a new meter base and electrical panel, running power lines safely from the main utility connection, and preparing the system to deliver consistent, dependable electricity to the tiny home. By completing this second service installation, the customer now has peace of mind knowing their ADU is fully powered for heating, cooling, appliances, and everyday living needs – without overloading the original home’s system.

Projects like this highlight the growing popularity of ADUs across Ontario. Whether it’s for family members, rental income, or simply maximizing backyard space, tiny homes need the same safe and professional electrical work as any larger building. That’s where Dr. Sparky Electrical Contracting comes in – delivering trusted solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial projects of all sizes.

If you’re planning an ADU, addition, or any other electrical upgrade, call Dr. Sparky Electrical Contracting Ltd. today. Our experienced team is here to keep your projects powered safely and efficiently across Brantford and beyond.
