Why UBC Families Stay With Townside Electric
UBC and the University Endowment Lands have distinct property types and approval processes, from modern strata communities to institutional and commercial buildings. We verify site requirements before the job moves ahead.
Planned response to the Point Grey peninsula.
We account for campus traffic, building access and parking before dispatch, so the electrician arrives prepared and time on site is used efficiently.
An Answer Within the Hour
Leave a message or ring the office and a real person gets back to you inside an hour during the working day. We tell you what the fix looks like and when we can be there, so you can plan the rest of your day around it.
The Right UBC or Provincial Process
UBC and the UEL are not governed by the City of Vancouver permit office. We verify whether the project falls under UBC Campus and Community Planning, Technical Safety BC or another applicable authority and coordinate accordingly.
How We Work With You
Hiring an electrician should never feel confusing. Here are the four steps from your first call to the day we pack up.
Tell Us What Is Happening
Ring us or send a message about what is going on at your place. We call you back within the hour to talk it through, and that chat costs you nothing.
A Price You Can Actually Read
You get the cost in writing before a single tool comes out, written in words that make sense, along with a simple plan for how the job will run.
Clean Work, Kept on Schedule
We turn up when we said we would, keep the mess in one spot, and clean it up before we go. Your floors and walls end up the way we found them.
Checked Before We Leave
Before we leave we test the work, check the whole system is running safely, and walk you through it. After that you can forget about it and get on with your week.
