Electrical service
New Builds and Renovations
From the first rough-in to the final inspection, Storm Resilience Electric wires new houses and renovations in Powell River and across the service area, working with your builder or directly with you.
On a new build the electrical goes in twice: the rough-in, when the walls are open and every box, cable and feeder is placed, and the finishing, when devices, fixtures and the panel are completed and the house is inspected. Both are scheduled around the builder, and both are permitted and inspected.
The design conversation at the start matters more than anything later. Where the panel sits, whether to reserve capacity for a heat pump, a charger and solar, and where a battery would go are easy to decide on the plans and expensive to change afterwards. Those are asked before the first cable is pulled.
New houses
Kitchens, basement suites, additions and garage conversions all need new circuits, and usually a look at whether the existing panel can take them. A suite in particular has code requirements of its own. The work is scoped from the plans or from a site visit, and the quote says what is included.
Where a renovation exposes old wiring, knob-and-tube, or aluminum branch circuits, you are told what was found and what the options are before anything is covered back up.

How a job goes
Call or write
Say what you need, where the property is, and anything you already know about the panel or access. Photos help.
Site visit and quote
Mitch looks at the panel, the roof or the space, and what the house actually runs. The quote says what the work includes before it starts.
Permit and install
Permits are pulled where the work needs one. The install is scheduled around ferries and the jobs already booked.
Inspection and handover
The work is inspected where required, then walked through with you: what was done, where the shutoffs are, how to read the app if there is one.
Do you work with my builder or directly with me?
Either. On a new build the schedule is usually coordinated with the builder. On a renovation you can engage Storm Resilience Electric directly.
Should I plan for solar or an EV charger in a new build even if I do not want them yet?
Yes. Reserving breaker space and a conduit route costs little during construction and saves a lot later.
Do you handle the electrical permit for a renovation?
Yes. The electrical permit and inspections are part of the job wherever the work requires them.
