Residential Electrical Services
Your Local Electrician — Based Right Here in Chilliwack
Most homes in Chilliwack were built before modern electrical codes caught up with how we actually live — panels sized for a toaster and a TV are now expected to run heat pumps, EV chargers, hot tubs, and home offices simultaneously. Huntley Electrical is based right here in Chilliwack and has been solving exactly that problem for Fraser Valley homeowners.
Whether you need a full panel upgrade, new lighting, EV charger wiring, or just a licensed set of eyes on something that doesn’t look right — we handle it start to finish, permitted and inspected.
Huntley Electrical is the residential electrician Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley trust for panel upgrades, EV charger wiring, hot tub hookups, and everything in between — licensed, local, and Red Seal certified.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Chilliwack Homeowners Usually Ask
What electrical upgrades add the most value to a home in Chilliwack?
The three upgrades we see make the biggest difference are panel upgrades, EV charger installation, and backup generator wiring. A panel upgrade to 200A is often the first thing a home inspector flags. An EV charger is increasingly expected by buyers — especially in newer neighbourhoods like Sardis and Promontory. And a backup generator is a genuine quality-of-life upgrade for anyone who’s lost power during a Fraser Valley windstorm. All three can also qualify for CleanBC rebates.
Do I need a permit for electrical work on my home in BC?
Almost always, yes. In British Columbia, most electrical work beyond simple fixture swaps requires a permit through Technical Safety BC. That includes panel upgrades, new circuits, EV charger wiring, hot tub hookups, and rewiring. Huntley Electrical pulls the permit, schedules the TSBC inspection, and makes sure everything passes. You don’t need to manage any of that.
How do I know if my electrical panel needs an upgrade?
The most common signs are breakers that trip frequently, a panel that’s warm to the touch, flickering lights when appliances kick on, or a Federal Pioneer or Zinsco panel (both recalled brands common in older Chilliwack homes). If your home still runs on 60A or 100A service and you’re adding a heat pump, EV charger, or hot tub, you’ll almost certainly need an upgrade to 200A. Learn more about panel upgrades.
Is Huntley Electrical licensed and insured?
Yes. All our electricians are Red Seal certified journeymen licensed in British Columbia. We carry full liability insurance and WorkSafeBC coverage. We’re also a registered CleanBC contractor, which means we meet the provincial standard for energy-efficient electrical upgrades and can help you access rebates.
Can you help me get CleanBC rebates for electrical upgrades?
Yes — this is one of the things that sets us apart. Huntley Electrical is a registered CleanBC contractor, so qualifying work we complete (heat pump electrical upgrades, panel upgrades tied to electrification) can be eligible for up to $10,000 in provincial rebates. We handle the documentation and make sure the installation meets CleanBC requirements.
How long does a typical residential electrical job take?
Simple jobs like outlet replacements or fixture installs usually take 1–3 hours. A panel upgrade is typically a full day, sometimes two if BC Hydro needs to disconnect and reconnect service. EV charger installations run 3–6 hours depending on the distance from the panel to the garage. We give you a timeline before we start and stick to it.
Do you serve areas outside Chilliwack?
Yes. We’re based in Chilliwack but serve the entire Fraser Valley — Abbotsford, Langley, Mission, Hope, Agassiz, and Harrison Hot Springs. No travel surcharges. Same crew, same standard of work.
What’s the difference between hiring a licensed electrician and a handyman?
In BC, it’s actually illegal for unlicensed individuals to perform most electrical work. A licensed electrician pulls permits, follows the Canadian Electrical Code, and has their work inspected by Technical Safety BC. A handyman working without a permit puts your home insurance at risk — if something goes wrong, the insurer can deny the claim. Every Huntley job is permitted and inspected.
