Electrical Repairs
From flickering lights in Metrotown condos to tripped breakers in Brentwood Park homes, our Burnaby electricians fix all types of residential and commercial electrical problems. We troubleshoot faulty wiring, overloaded circuits and damaged outlets in neighbourhoods like Highgate, Deer Lake, Capitol Hill and Willingdon Heights. No matter where you are in Burnaby, we restore your power quickly and safely.
Panel Upgrades
Burnaby’s older houses in areas like Burnaby Lake, Buckingham Heights and Cariboo often have outdated electrical panels that can’t keep up with modern appliances. We upgrade service panels to meet current electrical codes, add capacity for EV chargers or heat pumps and replace dangerous fuse boxes. Commercial buildings in Government Road or Central Burnaby can also count on us for clean, efficient upgrades.
EV Charger Installation
Whether you drive an electric SUV in South Slope or a luxury EV in the new developments around Brentwood and Lougheed, we install Level 2 home charging stations and commercial chargers. We manage permitting and ensure your charger is BC Hydro approved. Clients in Edmonds, Montecito and Suncrest trust us to future‑proof their parking spaces.
Lighting & Fixture Installation
Upgrade your lighting with our custom design and installation services. We install recessed lighting in Forest Glen townhomes, pendant lights in Burnaby Heights cafes and energy‑efficient LEDs in Garden Village offices. Whether it’s a chandelier in Deer Lake or outdoor lighting in Greentree Village, we handle the wiring and finishing touches.
