No matter the size of the job, we bring the same level of professionalism and attention to detail.
Is Your Electrical Panel Keeping Up?
Between high-speed EV chargers and modern heat pumps, your home is working harder than ever. If you’re living in an older Maple Ridge home, your current 100-amp panel might not have the "headroom" for these new upgrades.
We specialize in service upgrades that take the guesswork out of going electric. From performing precise load calculations to handling all the City permits, we ensure your new panel is safe, code-compliant, and built to last. We don’t cut corners on hardware, either—we exclusively install industry-leading brands like Square D, ABB, and Leviton.
If you’re upgrading for a new heat pump, you may be eligible for CleanBC rebates up to $5,000 to cover the cost of the electrical work. We’ll help you navigate the paperwork so you get every dollar you're owed.
A Level 2 charger is a major addition to your home’s electrical system. We don’t just 'install a plug'—we perform a full panel check to ensure your service can handle the new load safely. From precise load calculations to clean, professional conduit runs, we provide turnkey solutions for Tesla, Audi, ChargePoint, and all major EV brands.
Planning a renovation or adding a heat pump? Most older homes require a 200-amp service upgrade to handle modern electrical demands. We specialize in modernizing outdated systems and fuse-to-breaker conversions using industrial-grade gear like Square D and Leviton. We handle the design, the permits, and the BC Hydro coordination.
Professional electrical maintenance for strata and commercial properties across the Lower Mainland. We take a proactive approach—identifying aging components and safety risks before they turn into expensive emergency repairs. From routine panel inspections to emergency service, we keep your building’s infrastructure efficient and code-compliant.
Backup Generators
When the power goes out, a properly installed backup generator keeps your home or business running — automatically, without you lifting a finger.
We install and wire backup generator systems from Generac and Honeywell, two of the most trusted names in home and commercial standby power. Whether you're looking for whole-home coverage or backup for essential circuits only, we size and install the system to match your actual power needs.
What we handle:
Load calculation to determine the right generator size for your home or business
Automatic transfer switch installation — so power switches over the moment an outage starts, no manual intervention needed
Full electrical integration with your existing panel
Permits and coordination with the City and BC Hydro
Placement planning that meets code setback and ventilation requirements
Why it matters in the Lower Mainland: winter storms and wind events are a real and recurring cause of outages here — a standby generator means your fridge, sump pump, heat, and essential systems keep running whether you're home or away.
Hot Tub & Pool Wiring
Hot tubs and pools both require dedicated, GFCI-protected circuits sized specifically for the equipment — not a standard outlet extension. We handle the load calculation, permit, and installation so your outdoor equipment is safe, code-compliant, and ready to use.
What we handle:
Dedicated circuit sizing for hot tubs, pools, and spa equipment
GFCI protection to current BC Electrical Code requirements
Panel capacity check — some homes need a service upgrade to support the added load alongside existing appliances
Permits and inspection coordination

EV Charger Installation :
Your Questions Answered
Transitioning to an electric vehicle brings a lot of questions about home infrastructure, electrical loads, and provincial incentive programs. As licensed, Red Seal certified electricians and CleanBC Authorized Contractors, Royle West Electrical Ltd provides safe, fully permitted Level 2 charging installations across Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam and the Fraser Valley. Below, we break down the critical technical details, panel constraints, and BC Hydro rebate processes to help you get your home EV-ready safely and efficiently.
-
Yes. Every Level 2 EV charger installation in British Columbia requires a certified electrical permit. As fully licensed contractors, Royle West Electrical Ltd files and manages all necessary permits through Technical Safety BC or your local municipality on your behalf. This ensures your installation is fully legal, completely safe, logged for insurance purposes, and officially compliant for provincial rebate tracking.
-
Not if it is handled correctly. Before any work begins, we perform a precise load calculation of your home's current power draw (taking into account heavy appliances like hot tubs or heat pumps). If your main panel is maxed out, you don't necessarily need an expensive 200-amp utility service upgrade. We can install an approved EV power management device (like a DCC or BlackBox) that safely monitors your home's power and pauses vehicle charging if your home reaches peak capacity.
-
We install a wide range of premium, rebate-eligible smart chargers certified for use in Canada, including ChargePoint+, Wallbox, and Hyper Charge. We choose brands that offer robust weatherproofing for Pacific Northwest climates, reliable Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity for smart scheduling, and seamless integration with power management hardware.
-
IteFor a standard installation where the electrical panel is in the garage or nearby, the on-site work typically takes 3 to 5 hours. If we need to run conduit across a finished basement, trench through a driveway, or integrate complex energy management systems, it can take a full day. We always give you an exact timeline during your upfront quote.m description
-
Yes. We routinely handle complex exterior installations. This can involve running weatherproof, heavy-duty conduit along the exterior of your home, or trenching underground to a detached garage, carport, or custom post-mount parking stall.
PLANNING A HEAT PUMP INSTALLATION? DON'T FORGET THE ELECTRICAL
When upgrading your home’s climate control, the electrical requirements are often the biggest hurdle. Modern heat pumps almost always require a dedicated 240V circuit, and many older houses across the Lower Mainland simply don't have the panel capacity to safely support the extra power draw.
That is exactly where we step in. We focus entirely on the electrical infrastructure of your residential projects. Whether you are currently gathering quotes from HVAC contractors or already have an installation date booked, we deliver the specialized wiring backbone needed to ensure your new system runs safely and perfectly to code.
-
We evaluate your current electrical service to ensure it can handle the new equipment, performing heavy service upgrades if necessary.
