Four townhomes were severely damaged in the explosion and six people were injured.
Calgary police say a 40-year-old man who was earlier charged with arson with a disregard for human life now also faces one count of arson causing damage to the property of others, as well as possession of incendiary material.
A 43-year-old woman who lived with the man is now facing identical charges.
Both are to appear in court in February.
