Standard service calls are typically booked within one to two weeks.

Yes. Grifflyn Electric pulls every permit under our Technical Safety BC electrical contractor licence LEL0209496 and coordinates all inspections directly. You do not need to contact Technical Safety BC or your municipality yourself. Permit costs are itemized in your quote so nothing arrives as a surprise.

We do. On a service upgrade Grifflyn Electric submits the application to BC Hydro, coordinates the disconnect and reconnect, and schedules the Technical Safety BC inspection in between. You do not need to contact BC Hydro yourself. The main timing variable is how quickly BC Hydro schedules the disconnect, which is outside our control.

A panel upgrade replaces the electrical panel and breakers while keeping the same incoming service size, and is common for older or recalled panels such as Federal Pacific Stab-Lok. A service upgrade increases the amperage coming into the building, typically from 100A to 200A or 400A, and involves the meter base, mast, service conductors and coordination with BC Hydro. A service upgrade is the larger and longer of the two.

Yes. Single outlets, light fixtures, dead circuits, dimmer swaps, EV charger installations and general troubleshooting are all normal work for us. Small jobs start at $179 and are quoted before we begin, so there is no minimum project size and no obligation to bundle work you do not need.
