Excellence
Home Electrical Work in Vancouver
Every Vancouver home tells a different story. A Kerrisdale character home, a Mount Pleasant heritage place, or a brand new build along Cambie all need their own approach. If your panel looks tired or your wiring keeps tripping, we will get it sorted and leave the inside of your home the way you found it.
Helping Your Vancouver Business
Downtown foot traffic moves quickly, and a dark storefront on Robson or Commercial Drive sends customers walking past. We work fast, keep the noise down, and tidy up before we leave. Cafes, restaurants, offices in Yaletown, and shops along Main Street all fit right into the kind of work we do.
Electrical Care for Strata
Vancouver has more strata buildings than almost any city in Canada, from Yaletown towers to West End low rises. The people inside just want their hallways, parkades, and suites to work without a fuss. We talk things through with your council, plan around your residents, and keep small repairs and bigger projects on track without leaving a mess behind.
Charging Your Electric Car
EV ownership in Vancouver keeps climbing, and we have wired up chargers in garages from Kitsilano to Kerrisdale and in plenty of strata stalls downtown. We help you pick a Level 2 unit that suits your car, take care of the permits, and confirm your panel can carry the extra load. You plug in at night and wake up ready to drive.

Why People in Vancouver Choose Townside Electric
Vancouver is a city of neighbourhoods, and word travels fast on each block. Our crew works across the city every day, so when we pull up outside your home we already know the streets, the parking, the City of Vancouver permit desk, and what older houses in places like Mount Pleasant actually need.
We're at your door in 30 to 60 minutes.
Our vans are out on Vancouver streets all day, so a call from Kitsilano, the West End, or East Van usually means a short hop to your address. We know the bridges, the back routes, and the quickest way through downtown traffic.

We Look After Vancouver, One Block at a Time
Our vans are out on Vancouver 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
We are in the towers, restaurants, and offices around the core most days of the week, so when you call us we already know the building and how to get in.
Kitsilano
Lots of the houses in Kits are older than the people living in them, and the wiring shows it. We have spent years getting these homes safe again without tearing up the finishes you love.
Mount Pleasant
The character homes around Main Street were beautiful when they were built and they still are, the wiring just needs to catch up. We bring it up to today's code and keep the house feeling like itself.
Strathcona
These are some of the oldest homes in the city, and the wiring inside them has stories. We take our time, treat the building with respect, and leave it safer than we found it.
Fairview
From the condo towers near the seawall to the older walk ups closer to Cambie, we have wired up almost every type of home in Fairview. Tell us what is going on and we will sort it out.
Shaughnessy
The homes around here have been in families for a long time, and the work we do reflects that. We take care of your floors, your walls, and your furniture the whole time we are there.
Kerrisdale
We know Kerrisdale street by street, from the houses along the boulevards to the shops on West 41st. If something is acting up at home, we are usually only a few minutes away.
Dunbar-Southlands
The homes out by the river and around Pacific Spirit Park are quiet, well loved, and often older than they look. We are happy to come out and take a look at whatever needs sorting.
Oakridge
The Cambie corridor has changed a lot, and the new townhomes and builds come with their own electrical needs. We move quickly and finish clean so you can get settled in.
Marpole
The older houses and small apartment buildings around Marpole often need a little electrical attention before anyone notices a problem. We come by, take a look, and tell you what is actually going on.
Grandview-Woodland
The shops on Commercial Drive and the homes tucked behind them are some of our favourite places to work. We keep the kitchens running and the houses safe so The Drive keeps doing its thing.
Hastings-Sunrise
Family homes around the PNE, small shops along Hastings, and the everyday calls in between. We are out here most weeks and we know how these older homes were put together.

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!

Vancouver Electrical FAQ
Common questions and expert advice for homeowners and businesses in Vancouver, BC.
How fast can you get to an electrical emergency in Vancouver?
Our crew is out on Vancouver streets every day, so most calls get a van at the door inside an hour. That covers homes in Kitsilano, condos downtown, places along Commercial Drive, and the houses tucked into Kerrisdale.
Do you know the building rules for the City of Vancouver?
Yes, we have been pulling permits with the City of Vancouver for over 15 years. We handle all the paperwork for you, and every job we finish meets BC safety standards from the first wire to the last inspection.
Do you work on heritage homes in Kitsilano and Mount Pleasant?
Yes, the older homes in Kits and Mount Pleasant are some of our favourite jobs. The wiring inside them asks for a gentler touch, and we can swap out an old panel without taking away the character that drew you to the house. You end up with a safer home that still feels like yours.
Do you help businesses on Robson, Main Street, and Commercial Drive?
Yes, we have wired up restaurant kitchens in Yaletown, lit up shops on Main, and handled the power side of offices and cafes across downtown. We work quickly so the doorbell keeps ringing and your customers keep coming in.
What kind of EV chargers do you install in Vancouver?
We install Level 2 chargers from all the well known brands. We check that your panel can take one, sort out the City of Vancouver permits, and reach out to BC Hydro for you if a service upgrade is needed to power the charger.
Do you look after strata buildings in Vancouver?
Yes, we work with strata councils and property managers all over Vancouver on hallway lighting, parkade fixtures, lobby upgrades, and the late night repairs that pop up when a breaker trips inside a suite.
Do you do panel replacements and service upgrades in Vancouver?
We do, and a lot of the older Vancouver homes really need one. The original panels were sized for a much shorter 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.
Are your quotes really free?
Yes, every quote is free of charge. You will see the price in plain language before any work begins, so the final invoice never throws you a curveball.
