FAQS

Do you have questions or things you are unsure of about Electric1? We’re here to answer them. Below are some of the most common questions about electrical services and our responses to them. If you still have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Electrical contractors in BC are required by law to be up to date in the latest methods and standards for the safe installation of equipment. They are also bonded and regulated by Technical Safety BC allowing the contractor to be able to pull permits as required in your local area. The oversight from the inspecting authorities and constant upgrading ensures that the work your electrical contractor does for you will be of a high standard. At Electric1, we are fully insured and licensed, TSBC License # LEL0026932.

Did you know that unpermitted work is four times more likely to result in a significant safety hazard than work performed under a permit? Permits help ensure that the work on your property or business is safe. Permits also help to confirm that maintenance or operation of regulated equipment is done properly. Each time you take out a permit, you are adding yourself to the safety system – a network of everyone else in BC who also have permits – this shared data allows the inspecting authority to alert you of any risks or hazard trends seen in others’ work or equipment similar to yours, sometimes even before you order your equipment or do the work, saving both time and money.

A permit is required anytime regulated electrical work is done. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Replacing light fixtures or ceiling fans.
  • Installing or moving light switches or electrical outlets unless done by a qualified person
  • Installing electrical wiring for renovations, including solar installations.
  • Connecting permanently-installed electrical equipment such as a dishwasher, over-range microwave or hood, security camera, or heat pump.

Permits are a legal requirement in BC and often necessary for home insurance purposes. They give inspecting authority data and information to help with safety oversight in the province – your permit allows us to contact you or warn others of trends in unsafe work or hazards that may lead to an incident. Failure to obtain a permit where one is needed may result in enforcement action by the inspecting authority.
