Commercial Electrician in North Vancouver
Licensed Electrical Contractor, Technical Safety BC
Fully Insured, Certificate Available on Request
Evening and Weekend Scheduling
Written Quotes for Council and Owner Approval
Industrial Electrical Contractors North Vancouver Businesses Trust
Commercial electrical work runs on a different clock than residential. A tripped circuit in a restaurant at 6pm is a very different problem than one in a living room, and a strata council needs a written quote it can vote on, not a number over the phone.
Greenvolt Electric has been working with North Shore businesses and property managers since 2016. We handle everything from a single service call at a Lonsdale storefront to ongoing electrical maintenance across a multi building strata. Our crews are licensed through Technical Safety BC, we carry full liability coverage, and we can send you our insurance certificate before you ever sign anything.
Most of our commercial clients came to us because their last electrician stopped answering the phone. We answer.

Industrial Electrical Services We Provide
Commercial Service Calls and Troubleshooting
Finding the actual fault when a circuit drops, equipment stops, or a section of the building goes dark.

Commercial Kitchen and Equipment Wiring
Dedicated circuits and correct connections for ovens, walk in coolers, hood systems and refrigeration.

Exit Signs and Emergency Lighting
Installation, replacement and annual testing to keep your building compliant.

Lot lighting, entrance lighting and photocell or timer controls for common areas.
Preventive Maintenance Programs
Scheduled inspections that find loose terminations and overheating before they become an outage.
After Hours Emergency Response
When something fails outside business hours and it cannot wait until Monday.
Strata and Property Management Electrical Services
Working with a strata is not the same as working with a single owner. Decisions go through a council, budgets get approved in advance, and the work usually has to happen without disrupting dozens of residents at once. We are used to that process.
What we do for strata buildings
- Common area lighting maintenance and replacement in hallways, stairwells, lobbies and parkades
- Parkade and exterior lighting, including controls and photocells
- Electrical repairs in common property and building service rooms
- Emergency lighting and exit sign testing and certification
- Written quotes formatted so your council can review and vote on them
- Ongoing maintenance arrangements so you are not sourcing an electrician every time something fails
Working with property managers
If you manage multiple buildings, you already know the value of one contractor who shows up, documents the work, and invoices clearly. We can work across your portfolio and keep records consistent between properties.
Planning EV charging for your building? That has its own set of considerations around building capacity, and we cover it on our EV charger and load management page.
We Work When Your Business Is Closed
Shutting down a retail floor or a restaurant kitchen during business hours costs you money. For most commercial jobs we can schedule evenings, early mornings or weekends so the work happens while you are closed.
Tell us your hours when you call and we will build the schedule around them.

How We Work on Commercial Projects
1. Initial call and scope
You describe the work and the constraints, including your hours of operation and any access limitations.
2. Site visit
We walk the space, look at the existing service, and identify anything that affects the cost before it becomes a surprise.
3. Written proposal
You get a written quote broken down by scope, suitable for a strata council package or a business owner’s records. Insurance documentation is included if you need it.
4. Scheduled execution
Work happens in the window we agreed on. If we are running behind, you hear it from us first.
5. Documentation and sign off
Permits, inspection paperwork and a summary of what was done, handed over at completion.
What Our Clients Say
Questions We Get From Business Owners and Property Managers
1. Can you work outside our business hours?
Yes, and for most commercial jobs we recommend it. Evenings, early mornings and weekends are all workable. Tell us your operating hours when you call and we will schedule around them.
2. Do you carry liability insurance and WorkSafeBC coverage?
Yes to both. We can send you a certificate of insurance and our WorkSafeBC clearance letter before work begins. Property managers usually want these on file, so just ask.
3. Do you work with strata councils?
Regularly. We provide written quotes formatted so a council can review and approve them at a meeting, and we understand that timelines depend on when your council meets.
4. Do you handle permits for commercial electrical work?
Yes. As a licensed electrical contractor we pull the permits and coordinate the inspection. You should not be dealing with Technical Safety BC paperwork yourself.
5. Can you take on ongoing maintenance rather than one off calls?
Yes. For buildings and businesses that need regular attention, we can set up a scheduled maintenance arrangement so problems get caught early and you are not scrambling for an electrician each time.
6. How quickly can you respond to an emergency?
It depends on the day and where you are, but commercial outages get priority. Call us and we will tell you honestly when we can be there rather than promising something we cannot deliver.
7. Do you provide detailed written quotes?
Always, for anything beyond a basic service call. The quote breaks down scope so you know what you are paying for and can compare it fairly against anyone else’s.
