Home Electrical Work in Port Coquitlam
Port Coquitlam has a real mix of homes, from the older Mary Hill places to the newer family builds out in Riverwood. We give each one the same careful attention. If your panel keeps tripping or some of the wiring just does not feel right, we will get it sorted and put your home back exactly the way you like it.
Helping Your Port Coquitlam Business
Shops and offices along Shaughnessy Street and Downtown PoCo stay busy, and an outage can cost you a whole day of customers. Our crew moves fast, works tidy, and gets you back up and running so the foot traffic keeps coming. Cafes, restaurants, retail, and small offices are all our regular thing.
Electrical Care for Strata
A lot of new townhouses and condos have gone up around Riverwood and Citadel Heights, and the people living there just want their hallway lights, lobbies, and parkade fixtures to work without fuss. We sit down with your strata council, plan the work so residents barely notice, and take care of both the quick fixes and the bigger upgrades. Your neighbouring buildings already lean on us.
Charging Your Electric Car
A lot of Port Coquitlam families have picked up an EV in the last couple of years, and we have wired up garages and driveways all over the city. We match a Level 2 charger to your car, take care of the permit, and check that your panel can carry the load. You pull in, plug in, and the car is ready for the morning drive.

We Look After Port Coquitlam, One Block at a Time
Our vans are out on Port 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.
Downtown PoCo
The shops, restaurants, and small offices along Shaughnessy Street keep us busy most weeks, so we already know the buildings down here and what their wiring is hiding behind the walls.
Citadel Heights
The newer hillside homes up here run bigger panels and a lot more gadgets than people think, and we have wired enough of them to know where things usually go sideways.
Mary Hill
Some of the oldest homes in PoCo sit up on Mary Hill, and the wiring in them was never built for the way we use power today. We bring it up to today's code without making a mess of your walls.
Riverwood
The family homes out by the river are still pretty new, but the EV chargers, hot tubs, and basement suites that get added later are where we usually come in.
Birchland Manor
A lot of the 70s and 80s homes around here are getting their first proper electrical refresh, and we have done enough of them to know what is hiding behind the panel cover.
Oxford Heights
We are over in Oxford Heights most weeks for the small upgrades, basement suites, and panel swaps, and the neighbours know our trucks by now.

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.

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!

Our team works around the Tri-Cities every day, so most calls from Port Coquitlam get an electrician at your door in under an hour. That covers Downtown PoCo, Citadel Heights, Mary Hill, and the streets out by Riverwood.
Do you know the building rules for Port Coquitlam and the Tri-Cities?
Yes. We have been pulling permits with the City of Port Coquitlam and the surrounding cities for over 15 years. We handle the paperwork, and every job we wrap up lines up with the BC electrical safety code from start to finish.
Do you work on older homes around Mary Hill and Downtown PoCo?
Yes, we really like the older Port Coquitlam homes. The wiring inside often needs a gentle touch, and we can swap in a fresh panel without changing the character of your house. You end up with a place that feels safer to live in and still looks like the home you fell in love with.
Do you help small businesses around Downtown PoCo and Shaughnessy Street?
Yes, we have wired up cafe kitchens, retail shops, restaurants, and office spaces all around the Downtown PoCo area. We work quickly and try to keep the noise down so your customers can keep walking through the door.
What EV chargers do you install in Port Coquitlam?

Do you look after strata buildings in Port Coquitlam?
Yes, we work with strata councils and property managers across PoCo on common area lighting, parkade fixtures, and the late night repairs that come up when something fails in a townhouse or condo.
Do you do panel replacements and service upgrades in Port Coquitlam?
We do, and plenty of the older Mary Hill and Downtown PoCo homes need it. The original panels were built for a much smaller list of appliances. Once we upgrade yours, you have room for an EV charger, a heat pump, a kitchen reno, or anything else you have planned.
