Common jobs in North Saanich
These are the four jobs that come up most on acreage.
Standby generators
Treed roads mean storm outages, and on a well, no power means no water. We size, install and permit automatic standby generators, including the transfer switch, gas coordination and load management.
Generator installsEV chargers on larger services
Larger homes often have bigger electrical services, which can allow two chargers without load sharing, and we can run spare conduit to a detached garage.
EV charger installsPanels & sub-panels
Main panel upgrades and the sub-panels acreages collect over time: workshop, studio, pool house, gate and irrigation controls. We map the whole system before we change anything.
Panel upgradesService & repair
Faults on long underground feeders, failed yard lighting, dock and boathouse circuits in Deep Cove, and ordinary breaker and outlet calls.
Residential serviceNorth Saanich neighbourhoods

Deep Cove, Ardmore, and the waterfront properties along Madrona Drive and Downey Road on the Saanich Inlet side.

Dean Park Estates, Cloake Hill, the Wain Road and McTavish Road corridors, and Curteis Point overlooking Tsehum Harbour.

Lands End Road, the area around the Swartz Bay ferry terminal, Moses Point, and the rural properties off Tatlow and Birch Roads.
Acreage wiring in North Saanich
Many houses here are large custom builds from the 1970s to 1990s, often with underground services run decades ago. We find old direct-buried cable where there should be conduit, sub-panels daisy-chained by previous owners, and 200-amp mains working harder than they were sized for.
Dean Park homes are reaching the age where original panels and fixtures all come due at once.
Permit work is filed with Technical Safety BC under our contractor licence, and we schedule the inspection. For EV chargers and service upgrades, we tell you at quote time whether provincial rebates may apply. We handle the electrical side of heat pump installs (the circuit, disconnect and panel capacity) and work with your heating contractor.
Common questions
We're not booking work in North Saanich yet. Service starts soon. Call (250) 882-5282 and we'll let you know when.
On a 320- or 400-amp service, usually yes, without load management. On 200 amps it depends on your heat, range and hot water loads. We run the load calculation (Section 8 of the Electrical Code) and, if needed, add an EVEMS load-management device so both cars charge without a service upgrade.
One to two days on site for the pad, the transfer switch at the panel, and coordination with your gas fitter for fuel supply. Power is off for a few hours during the transfer-switch tie-in, and we schedule that with you ahead of time.
Yes. Gate operators, driveway lighting and outbuilding feeders on long runs are routine here. Voltage drop sets the conductor size, so we calculate it for every long run. Trenching, conduit and cable are quoted as one scope.
