Upgrading Hospitality: Electrical Retrofitting Solutions for Hotels and Resorts

The hospitality industry is changing fast—and guest expectations are evolving even faster. From energy savings to modern amenities, hotels and resorts across Western Canada are under pressure to upgrade without disrupting operations. At EB Horsman & Son, we work with trusted suppliers like Cooper, Signify, Rab, Standpro, and LightLine to provide practical retrofitting solutions that help facilities stay competitive, safe, and efficient.

Here’s what property managers and facility teams should consider when planning electrical upgrades:

Energy Efficiency Upgrades

Retrofitting to LED lighting, smart thermostats, and motion-sensor controls isn't just about cutting costs—it's about improving overall building performance. These updates significantly reduce energy consumption while extending product life and lowering maintenance needs.

Modernizing the Guest Experience

Today’s guests expect more. From integrated USB outlets and EV charging stations to automated room controls, the right upgrades create a better stay and support customer satisfaction. These updates are also easier than ever to implement with wireless and modular solutions.

Safety and Compliance

Outdated electrical panels and emergency lighting can put both people and property at risk. Upgrading panels, wiring, and lighting systems helps ensure your building stays within code and avoids unplanned downtime or safety hazards.

Supporting Sustainability Goals

Sustainability matters to guests—and many are actively choosing where they stay based on green practices. Solutions like solar panels, energy management systems, and low-energy HVAC controls can support LEED certifications and long-term environmental targets.

Minimizing Downtime with Retrofit-Friendly Products

We understand that downtime means lost revenue. That’s why we recommend solutions like modular wiring systems, wireless controls, and pre-assembled units. These products are designed for quick installation and less disruption to daily operations.

EV Charging Stations

As electric vehicles become more common, guests now expect charging options as part of their stay. Installing EV chargers not only improves guest satisfaction but also positions your property as future-ready. We offer scalable charging solutions that are easy to integrate into your existing infrastructure, without major electrical overhauls.

Stanpro Emergency Lighting

Safety doesn’t stop at aesthetics. Emergency lighting must work when it matters most. Stanpro’s emergency lighting systems offer reliable, code-compliant solutions with LED efficiency and easy maintenance—ideal for high-occupancy buildings like hotels and resorts.


LED Lighting by Signify

Signify’s LED solutions help hotels and resorts reduce energy costs while improving lighting quality across their properties. From guest rooms and corridors to outdoor spaces and lobbies, their full product line delivers long-lasting performance, low maintenance, and consistent light levels. These upgrades not only lower utility bills but also support sustainability goals and provide a better visual experience for guests and staff.

Smart Lighting Controls by Lutron

Lighting isn’t just about visibility—it’s part of the guest experience. Lutron offers flexible lighting control systems that help hospitality facilities reduce energy use while improving comfort. With options like occupancy sensors, dimmers, and fully automated scene control, Lutron solutions make it easy to manage lighting in common areas, meeting rooms, and guest suites. These systems also help reduce operating costs by only using energy when and where it’s needed.
