Good to know before you book
Do electrical panel upgrades need a permit in Metro Vancouver?
Yes — panel upgrades and most new circuits require an electrical permit, with the work done or supervised by a licensed electrical contractor registered with Technical Safety BC. Permits protect your insurance coverage; unpermitted work can surface during a home sale.
What does an EV charger installation involve?
A Level 2 charger typically needs a dedicated 240 V circuit and a permit; older homes may also need a panel or service upgrade if capacity is tight. Some municipalities and BC Hydro have offered EV charger incentives — check current programs before you book.
How do I verify an electrician is legitimate?
Ask for the contractor's Technical Safety BC licence number and confirm the company pulls permits for the work it quotes. A contractor who suggests skipping the permit is transferring the risk to you.
