We Know the Local Rules
Coquitlam has its own way of running permits, and the older homes around Maillardville and the central neighbourhoods need a bit more care than the new builds further up the hill. We stick to every line of the BC safety code and hand you paperwork that shows the job was done the right way.
Our Fresh Approach
We try to keep the electrical side of life feeling easy. Here is what it looks like to have us on the job.

We Look After Coquitlam, One Block at a Time
Our vans are out on Coquitlam streets every day, and we have come to know the city the way the people who live here do. These are the neighbourhoods we are in the most, helping the homes, the strata buildings, and the local shops keep their power running the way it should.
Coquitlam Town Centre
We are around Town Centre most weeks, in the condo towers by the SkyTrain and the shops near Coquitlam Centre mall. If you live or run a business in the core, we are usually just a few minutes away.
Burke Mountain
A lot of the newer homes up on Burke Mountain look fine on paper, but once you actually live in them you start noticing the small things the builders skipped. We have wired up plenty of these places for EV chargers, hot tubs, and the extras families want once they move in.
Westwood Plateau
The houses on the Plateau are big, and the panels inside them have a lot on their plate between the heat pumps, the cars, and everything else plugged in at once. We know these homes street by street and we keep them running quietly in the background.
Maillardville
Some of the oldest homes in the Tri-Cities are tucked into Maillardville, and the wiring inside them has been around for a few decades. We take our time with these houses, bring them up to today's code, and leave the character of the place exactly the way you love it.
Como Lake
A lot of the homes around Como Lake have been added to and renovated over the years, so the wiring inside ends up looking like a patchwork. We come out, sort through what is there, and leave it tidy and safe.
Austin Heights
Austin Heights is busy with families and small shops, and the older bungalows around here usually need a panel upgrade well before anyone notices a problem. We are happy to drop by and tell you what is actually going on inside the walls.

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!
