ABOUT COQUITLAM ELECTRIC
One Team, Two Kinds of Electrical Work
Coquitlam Electric is a locally owned electrical contractor built around a simple idea: residential and commercial electrical work require different approaches, so we run them as two dedicated tracks instead of one generic service list.
Whether it's a homeowner adding an EV charger or a business coordinating tenant improvement wiring around a lease deadline, you get a electrician who works that side of the business every day.
- Licensed Master Electrician on every crew
- Separate residential & commercial workflows
- Permits pulled and inspections coordinated
- Upfront, written quotes before work begins

MOST-REQUESTED RIGHT NOW
Built for the Two Things Homeowners Are Asking For
EV charger installs and panel upgrades make up a growing share of our calls — here's why they matter and what's involved.
EV Charger Installation
More BC homeowners are switching to electric vehicles than their existing panels were ever designed for. We assess your home's electrical capacity, install a properly sized Level 2 charger circuit, and make sure the install meets code — so you're not the reason your insurance claim gets complicated.
- Load calculations to confirm your panel can handle it
- Dedicated circuit sized to your charger and vehicle
- Garage, driveway, and outdoor-rated installs
Electrical Panel Upgrades
Older 60-100 amp panels weren't built for EV chargers, heat pumps, hot tubs, and modern appliance loads. A panel upgrade to 200 amps isn't just about avoiding tripped breakers — it's often the first thing an insurer or home inspector flags. We handle the permit, the upgrade, and the inspection.
- Upgrades to 100A, 200A, or higher service
- Federal Pacific & knob-and-tube panel replacement
- Permit pulled and inspection scheduled for you

TESTIMONIALS
Hear From Our Customers
Sample reviews shown for demonstration purposes.
"Had our panel upgraded to 200 amps ahead of getting a heat pump. They explained exactly why our old panel couldn't handle it and had the permit sorted before they even started."
"Got an EV charger installed in the garage. They did a proper load calculation instead of just slapping in a circuit, which is exactly what I wanted to hear."
"Handled the electrical for our restaurant tenant improvement. Worked around our contractor's schedule and passed inspection on the first try."
