Frequently Asked Questions in Vancouver (FAQ)
What is an Electrical Planning Report (EPR)?
An EPR is a document that outlines your strata’s current electrical capacity, existing demands, estimated peak load, spare capacity and capacity needed for future demands such as EV charging and heat pumps. BC regulations require strata corporations with five or more units to obtain an EPR.
How often should we schedule electrical maintenance?
Annual inspections are recommended for common‑area systems, with more frequent checks for high‑usage equipment. We’ll tailor a plan to your building’s needs.
Can you help us plan EV charging infrastructure?
Yes. We design EV Ready Plans that ensure every parking stall has an energized outlet capable of Level 2 charging and integrate load‑sharing technology to manage limited capacity.
How much does an electrician cost in Vancouver?
Electrical rates vary across the city, but at Akai Electric we keep it simple. Every job is quoted at a flat rate, so you know the total investment upfront. No hidden fees, no guesswork — just clear pricing and reliable service with our 5 year warranty.
