Home Electrical Work in Burnaby
Burnaby homes are a real mix, from the older houses up in Burnaby Heights to the newer family places near Lougheed and Edmonds. We give all of them the same careful treatment. If your wiring has been acting up or your panel is looking tired, we will get it sorted and leave your home tidy when we go.
Helping Your Burnaby Business
Foot traffic around Metrotown and Brentwood does not slow down, and a power problem can stop your day cold. We get in fast, do the job properly, and clean up so your customers never notice we were there. Cafes, retail shops, dental offices, and the towers along the SkyTrain corridor all sit comfortably in our daily work.
Electrical Care for Strata
Burnaby has more towers and townhouse complexes going up every year, and the people inside want their lobbies, hallways, and parkades to stay bright. We sit down with your strata council, plan around the residents, and look after both the everyday fixes and the bigger upgrades without leaving a mess behind. Plenty of buildings around Metrotown and Brentwood already count on us.
Charging Your Electric Car
Burnaby drivers are picking up EVs faster than ever, and we have wired chargers into garages and driveways from Capitol Hill down to Edmonds. We help you pick a Level 2 charger that suits your car, take care of the permits, and double check your panel is up to the load. You plug in at night and pull out fully charged.

Family homes sit right next to the high rises by the SkyTrain station, so our days here look different every time. We turn up with the right gear and get on with the job.
Burnaby Heights
The character homes along Hastings Street have a lot of personality and a lot of old wiring. We take our time and bring them up to code while keeping the place feeling like home.
Edmonds
The family streets and townhouse complexes around Edmonds Station are part of our regular run. If your panel is acting up or a circuit keeps tripping, we will come by and sort it out.

This is an excellent company to work with. Mike did some pot light installation for me and he did a fantastic job. The work was well priced, efficient and professional. Mike is a pleasure to deal with too. I've worked with several of the local companies in South Delta, and my experience with this one has been the best.
Noah
Mike was great, he installed some mysas and smart dimmers but he went above and beyond. He spoke with a colleague who sells the dimmers as our bulbs were cheap so he had to figure out a different solution. Then in an unrelated event with our complexes power Mike went above and beyond and spoke with the developers electrician to help with the issue. I am hoping our developer hires him as the strata electrician!

We had a great experience with Mike. He was always super responsive and timely from the moment we first reached out. We were unable to be at the house when he arrived so he was sure to know the plan and got straight to it, reassuring us there wouldn't be any issues. I'm always so grateful for good communication and reliable scheduling, and Mike delivered on both these fronts. In addition to that, he got all the lights up ahead of time and was lovely to chat with. Thank you!! Highly recommend if you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable electrician.

Suzanne Cziraki
Exceptional service from Townside Electric! I can't say enough about the outstanding help I received from Mike, the Red Seal electrician and owner of Townside Electric in Delta. My home suddenly lost power on a cold Sunday night after the main electrical panel tripped—of course, I wasn't even in town when it happened. Mike came to the rescue right away, went to my home, diagnosed the issue, and restored power so that when I finally returned, the lights were on and the house was warm. His professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care turned a stressful situation into a huge relief. Highly recommend Townside Electric—Mike is truly a lifesaver!

Do you work on older homes in Burnaby Heights and Capitol Hill?

What kind of EV chargers do you install in Burnaby?
