Common queries about our electrical services on Vancouver Island
We provide comprehensive residential electrical services including panel upgrades, home rewiring, EV charger installation, lighting installation, outlet and switch installation, electrical inspections, generator installation, smoke detector installation, and 24/7 emergency electrical repairs across Vancouver Island.
Residential electrical systems are grounded using a grounding electrode system connected to the main electrical panel. This typically includes grounding rods driven into the earth and bonding to metal water pipes. Proper grounding protects against electrical shocks and ensures safe operation of your electrical system per BC electrical code.
Electrical panel upgrades on Vancouver Island typically cost between $2,000 and $4,500 depending on amperage (100A, 200A, or 400A), panel location, additional circuit work, and permit requirements. Most homes upgrading to 200A service invest around $3,000-$3,500. Contact us for a free detailed estimate specific to your home.
Yes, most electrical work in BC requires permits from BC Safety Authority including panel upgrades, new circuits, EV charger installations, hot tub wiring, major renovations, and service upgrades. Minor work like replacing existing outlets or light fixtures typically doesn't require permits. We handle all permit applications and inspections for you.
Complete home rewiring typically takes 3-7 days for an average home (1,500-2,500 sq ft) depending on the size, number of circuits, wall accessibility, and whether drywall repair is included. We work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring code-compliant installation and BC Safety Authority inspection approval.
EV charger installation on Vancouver Island costs between $800 and $2,500 depending on distance from panel, charger type (Level 2 recommended), required electrical upgrades, and permit fees.
