200 Amp Upgrades
200 amp electrical service upgrades ensure modern homes meet current power demands. We assess existing systems, determine upgrade necessity, and install new panels to accommodate electric vehicles, heating systems, and high-amperage equipment. Our experts handle permits and inspections while minimizing disruption to homeowners.
Aluminum Wiring Safety
Aluminum wiring remediation addresses safety concerns in homes built during the 1960s-70s. Our certified technicians perform pigtailing transitions to copper wiring, inspect connections for overheating, and ensure compliance with modern electrical codes. We complete most 2-bedroom home remediations within two days using minimally invasive techniques.
EV Charging Stations
EV charging station installations support sustainable transportation needs. We evaluate existing electrical capacity, recommend appropriate charging solutions, and ensure proper installation meeting local utility requirements. Our team coordinates with BC Hydro rebates and completes installations quickly with minimal disruption to property.
Antique Lighting Restoration
Antique lighting restoration preserves historical integrity while ensuring modern safety standards. Our licensed craftsmen rewire vintage fixtures, replace damaged components, and restore functionality to chandeliers and period-specific lighting. The workshop handles pieces of all sizes with professional-grade techniques developed through movie set restoration projects.
EMF Radiation Testing
EMF radiation testing identifies electromagnetic field sources in residential and commercial spaces. Using professional equipment, we measure radiation levels, identify problematic sources, and implement shielding solutions. Our services include installing protective materials and providing practical recommendations to reduce exposure in living and working environments.

Questions
How do I know if I need a 200 amp service upgrade?
Check your main breaker panel's amperage rating. If it's 100 amps or less, consider upgrading if you use electric heating, plan EV charging, or have major renovations.
Is aluminum wiring dangerous in my home?
Aluminum wiring is legal but requires proper maintenance. We recommend safety inspections for homes built before 1977 to check for oxidation and connection issues that could create fire hazards.
Can you restore antique light fixtures?
Yes, our licensed electricians specialize in antique lighting restoration using professional techniques. We handle chandeliers, period fixtures, and movie set pieces with care and historical accuracy.
Do you provide emergency electrical services?
We offer same-day service for urgent electrical issues including power failures, safety hazards, and critical system malfunctions affecting residential or commercial operations.
How do you handle island property access?
Our marine-capable teams access Southern Gulf Islands properties by boat, providing full electrical services including installations, repairs, and emergency response for remote locations.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept major credit cards, electronic transfers, and cash payments for completed electrical services and installations.

Jesse (owner) always provides prompt, professional and reliable service. Hes been my go to electrician for many years. Always available when urgent service is required. Recently we lost power due to the main line being ripped off from the house. Denny was able to fix everything and Jesse able to get BC Hydro to hook up power, all within 10 hours. No need to sleep without heat that night! Absolutely FAST and RELIABLE service. Highly recommended.

Jesse is wonderful! I called him in full panic mode when the main breaker failed at my rental. His calm demeanor and insightful questions helped troubleshoot the issue and also reassure me. He was upfront about the price of an emergency (after hours) visit, and honest about what was and wasn't possible for him to accomplish in the evening. I appreciate his honesty and integrity - increasingly rare qualities these days.

I appreciated the estimator talking me through the options and explaining why the more expensive ones weren't necessary rather that trying to up sell me. The work crew were polite, professional and did neat and tidy work. Would use again for household projects.

We had a puzzling intermittent circuit fault so we called the experts at Fairfield Electric. Jesse quickly scheduled a team member to investigate. The technician checked the wiring, serviced our main panel and was able to successfully identify the problem. We were extremely pleased with the rapid response and the great five-star service we received. Thank you Fairfield Electric.
