Excellence
Home Electrical Work in West Vancouver
The houses up here range from older waterfront places in Dundarave to the bigger family homes tucked into the British Properties. Each one comes with its own quirks, and we know how to handle them. If your wiring is acting up or your panel feels stuck in another decade, we will get it sorted and leave your home looking exactly how you want it.
Helping Your West Vancouver Business
The shops along Marine Drive and the cafes in Ambleside rely on their lights, their kitchens, and their tills staying on all day. When something goes wrong we get there quickly, fix it properly, and pack up so your customers never notice we were there. Restaurants, boutiques, and offices around the waterfront all fit right into the kind of work we do best.
Electrical Care for Strata
Plenty of West Vancouver families live in the condos along the shoreline and the townhouse complexes climbing up toward Caulfeild. They want their parkades lit, their lobbies bright, and their hallways trouble free. We talk things through with your strata council, schedule the work so residents barely notice, and finish the job without leaving anything behind. Buildings across the area already have us on speed dial.
Charging Your Electric Car
A lot of West Vancouver garages now have an electric car parked inside, and we have wired up driveways from Horseshoe Bay all the way down to Ambleside. We help you pick a Level 2 charger that suits your car, take care of the permits, and make sure your panel is ready for the extra load. You plug in at night and head out toward Cypress or downtown with a full battery in the morning.

We Know the Local Rules

Our Fresh Approach

You get a fair price up front, written so anyone can read it, and we walk you through the whole plan before we touch a single wire.
Precise & Clean Work
Our team turns up when we said we would, works tidy around your house, and clears everything away when the job is done. Your home looks the same when we leave as it did when we arrived.
Peace of Mind
Before we drive off we test the lot, double check the power is running safely, and make sure your home is in good shape. You get to relax and forget the whole thing happened.
We Look After West Vancouver, One Street at a Time
Our vans are out on West Vancouver streets every day, and we have come to know the area the way the people who live here do. These are the neighbourhoods we are in the most, helping the homes along the shoreline, the strata buildings up the hill, and the local shops keep their power running the way it should.
Ambleside
The shops along Marine Drive and the homes back from the seawall keep us busy through the week. If something starts acting up at your place, we are usually only a few minutes away.
Dundarave
A lot of the homes near the pier have been here for decades, and the wiring inside them shows it. We get them safe again without tearing up the character that makes the neighbourhood what it is.
British Properties
The big family homes climbing up the hill have their own kind of electrical setup, with long runs and plenty of zones. We have spent years getting to know how these houses are wired, and we work clean from the driveway in.
Caulfeild
The houses tucked into the trees off Marine Drive are quiet, private, and often older than they look. We are happy to come out and take a careful look at whatever is bothering you.
Horseshoe Bay
From the homes near the ferry terminal to the cottages above the harbour, we know how the older wiring out here behaves. We get the job done right and let you get back to the view.
Eagle Harbour
The homes around the cove are some of our favourite places to work, with their water views and their quiet streets. We look after the place the whole time we are there and leave it tidy when we go.

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!

West Vancouver Electrical FAQ
Common questions and honest answers for homeowners and businesses in West Vancouver, BC.
How fast can you get to an electrical emergency in West Vancouver?
Our crew is somewhere on the North Shore most days, so we can usually pull up at your home in under an hour. The same goes for Ambleside, Dundarave, Horseshoe Bay, and the homes up in the British Properties.
Do you know the building rules for West Vancouver?
Yes, we have been pulling permits across the North Shore for over 15 years. We handle the paperwork on your behalf, and every job we wrap up meets BC safety standards from the first wire to the last.
Do you work on older heritage homes along the West Vancouver waterfront?
Yes, the older homes around Dundarave and Ambleside are some of our favourites. The wiring inside calls for a gentle hand, and we can swap out tired panels without changing the character that drew you to the house in the first place. You end up with a safer home that still looks the way you love.
Do you help businesses along Marine Drive and the waterfront?
Yes, we have rewired restaurant kitchens, lit up retail spaces, and handled the power side of plenty of waterfront cafes and offices. The work happens fast so your customers keep coming through the door.
What kind of EV chargers do you install in West Vancouver?
We fit Level 2 chargers from all the big brands. We check that your panel can handle the load, sort the permits, and ring BC Hydro for you if your home needs a service upgrade to make the install work.
Do you look after strata buildings in West Vancouver?
Yes, we work with strata councils and property managers all around the area on common area lighting, parkade fixtures, and the late night repairs that pop up when something stops working in a unit.
Do you do panel replacements and service upgrades in West Vancouver?
We do, and quite a few of the older homes up here are due for one. The original panels were sized for a much smaller list of appliances. Once we upgrade yours you have room for an EV charger, a heat pump, a renovated kitchen, or whatever else is on your wish list.
Are your quotes really free?
Yes, every quote we send is free. You see the price in plain language before any work begins, so the final bill never holds any surprises.
