We Are the Electricians Seafair Families Call
We work on west Richmond wiring most weeks, from the sixties originals on the Mond streets to the big new builds going up near the dyke.
Excellence
Home Wiring Across Seafair
Plenty of Seafair houses still hide their original sixties wiring behind the walls, along with a 60 amp panel that was never meant to run a heat pump or a car charger. We bring those up to date safely. When you are gutting the place or starting fresh on the lot, we wire the whole house from scratch, so you end up with outlets where you actually want them and a panel with room to spare.
Power for Business at Seafair Centre
A shop at the plaza starts losing money the minute a breaker goes or the lights over the till die. We get out to you quickly, get you serving customers again, and save the slower jobs like new lighting or extra circuits for after you close. The offices and small clinics nearby get looked after the same way.
Looking After Seafair Strata Buildings
The townhome and condo complexes tucked around Seafair need someone who can talk plainly to a council and still show up on a Sunday night when the parkade goes dark. We take care of common area lighting, the panels, and repairs inside units. Residents hear from us before their power goes off, which keeps everyone on your side.
Home EV Charging Made Easy
Seafair driveways are wide and most homes here have a garage, so charging at home is easy to set up. We check what your panel can carry, fit a Level 2 charger that suits your car, keep the cable run tidy, and take care of the Richmond permit. You plug in after dinner and pull out the next morning with a full battery.

Why Seafair Neighbours Call Townside Electric
Word travels fast on quiet streets like these, so we would rather earn the next job than chase it. We are in Richmond most days pulling permits and working on houses the same age as yours, which means we usually know what is behind the panel cover before we take it off.
We are usually with you in 30 to 60 minutes.
One of our vans is working somewhere in Richmond nearly every day, so hopping over to Seafair is a short trip. Boyd Park, Quilchena, the Mores and the streets running down to the West Dyke Trail are all ground we cover, and we head straight over when you call.
A Real Person Rings You Back
Leave a message or give us a ring, and someone from our team gets back to you inside the hour during the working day. We will tell you what the fix involves and when we can be there, so you can plan the rest of your day around it.
We Know How Richmond Does Things
Permits in Richmond have their own steps, and an older Seafair house throws up things a new build never would. Every job we finish is wired to the BC safety code, and you keep the paperwork that shows an inspector signed off on it.
How a Job Usually Goes
We keep the electrical side easy to follow, so here is what you can expect once you get in touch.
Tell Us What You Need
Ring us or send a message about the problem. Someone calls you back the same day to ask a few questions, and that chat costs you nothing.
You Get the Price in Writing
We put the cost in plain words before anything begins, and we walk you through how we plan to do the work so you can say yes with confidence.
We Work Neatly Around You
Our team turns up when we said we would, works around your family, and takes the dust and offcuts away. Your home looks the way it did before we arrived.
And Then You Relax
Everything gets tested before we pack up, and we show you what changed. Your power runs safely again and it drops off your list of worries.
Seafair Electrical FAQ
The questions we hear most often from homeowners, business owners and strata councils around Seafair.
How soon can you reach a Seafair home when something goes wrong?
We have vans working somewhere in Richmond nearly every day, so a call from Seafair usually puts one of us on your street inside 30 to 60 minutes. Boyd Park, Quilchena and the streets running down toward the West Dyke are all a short drive for us, morning or midnight.
Who sorts out the City of Richmond permits?
We do, and it is part of the price we quote you. Our licence covers pulling the permit and booking the inspector, so you never have to phone the city yourself. Once the work passes, the signed paperwork goes to you for your records.
Our house on one of the Mond streets is from the sixties. Is the old wiring still safe?
Most of the original Seafair houses still sit on a 60 amp panel with wiring that suited the appliances people owned back then. We open things up, look at what is really there, and tell you plainly what is fine and what needs replacing. Plenty of owners only need the panel and a few circuits redone to feel comfortable again.
Do you look after the shops and restaurants at Seafair Centre?
Yes. We handle lighting, kitchen circuits, sign power and the sudden faults that stop a till working on a busy Saturday. Bigger jobs get booked around your quiet hours so your regulars keep coming through the door.
Can you put a car charger in our garage or driveway?
Yes, and we install a lot of them around west Richmond. We check what your panel can carry, match a Level 2 charger to your car, run the cable neatly to the garage or a driveway post, and pull the permit. If the house needs more power first, we arrange that side with BC Hydro.
Do you work with the townhome complexes around Seafair?
We do. Councils and property managers call us for walkway and parkade lighting, common area panels, repairs inside units and the odd late night callout. Residents always hear from us before their power goes off, so nobody is caught out.
What do we get out of a panel replacement or service upgrade?
Moving up to a 200 amp service gives your house room for a heat pump, a car charger, a bigger kitchen and a suite downstairs without breakers tripping every evening. It is usually the first thing we do on a Seafair renovation. We take care of the panel, the meter base and the BC Hydro side of it.
Is there a charge for coming out to quote?
None at all. We look at the job, talk it through with you on the spot, and send a written price with the parts and labour spelled out. You take your time deciding, and you owe us nothing if the timing is wrong for you.
