Inspections

SaskPower's permit and inspection system supports the safe use of electrical and gas equipment by customers and licensed contractors. An inspector reviews every installation described on a permit, and may decide to conduct an inspection.

A gas inspection includes your furnace, chimney, piping and gas appliances. An electrical inspection includes all electrical wiring, as reported on the permit.

Hiring a contractor

When you hire a contractor, the contractor is responsible for obtaining the necessary permits.

Hiring a licensed and bonded contractor ensures the installation will be done in accordance with applicable safety codes and regulations.
