Our Electrical Services in Vancouver
At Trigger Electric, we offer a full spectrum of services designed to keep your power running safely. We categorize our expertise into specialized areas to better serve the distinct needs of our residential and commercial clients across the city.
Residential Electrical Services
Vancouver’s residential landscape requires a nuanced approach. Our team specializes in maintaining the charm of older homes while integrating modern electrical safety. In neighborhoods like Mount Pleasant, we frequently assist homeowners with heritage home rewiring, replacing outdated systems with modern, grounded solutions that reduce fire risks. For residents in Coal Harbour, we focus on smart home integration, ensuring that luxury condos are equipped with the latest in automated lighting and climate control systems.

Commercial Electrical Services
For local businesses, downtime is not an option. Trigger Electric provides robust commercial electrical services that include tenant improvements, scheduled maintenance contracts, and comprehensive code compliance audits. Whether you are opening a new retail space in Gastown or managing an office building in the Financial District, we ensure your electrical infrastructure can handle your operational demands. We focus on energy-efficient lighting and power distribution systems that help Vancouver businesses reduce their carbon footprint and lower utility costs.
Electrical Panel Upgrades
Many older Vancouver homes still operate on 60 or 100-amp service, which often struggles to support modern appliances, heat pumps, and home offices. Trigger Electric specializes in transitioning these properties to 200-amp service. A panel upgrade is more than just a convenience; it is a critical safety measure that prevents circuit overloads. We handle the entire process, including coordination with BC Hydro for service disconnects and reconnections, ensuring a smooth transition to a more powerful and reliable electrical system.
EV Charger Installation
As Vancouver moves toward a greener future, the demand for electric vehicle infrastructure has surged. We help local residents take full advantage of current rebates by providing professional Level 2 EV charger installations. Our team assesses your home’s current capacity and installs a charging station that is both fast and safe, ensuring your vehicle is ready for your daily commute through the city.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a permit for electrical work in Vancouver?
Most electrical work in Vancouver, including panel upgrades and new circuit installations, requires a permit from the City of Vancouver. Trigger Electric handles the permit application process for our clients to ensure all work is inspected and recorded correctly.
Can you help with aluminum wiring in older Vancouver homes?
Yes. Many homes built in the 1960s and 70s in areas like Marpole or East Vancouver have aluminum wiring. We offer specialized remediation services, such as ‘pigtailing’ with copper or full rewiring, to ensure these systems are safe and meet modern insurance requirements.
How long does a typical 200-amp panel upgrade take?
A standard panel upgrade usually takes one full day to complete. This includes the physical installation and the mandatory inspection. We coordinate closely with BC Hydro to minimize the time your power is turned off during the transition.
