Renovations & New Construction

Build it once, Build it right.

When you’re renovating or building a new home in Surrey, Langley, or anywhere in the Lower Mainland, the last thing you want is electrical work that slows your project down, blows the budget, or leaves you wondering if it’s even safe. Your wiring powers everything: the fridge, the furnace, the lights, and the upgrades you’ll want down the road. Cut corners now and it can cost you big later. At Oakwest Electric, we make sure you don’t have to worry about that.

Oakwest Electric: Residential electrical wiring for new construction and home renovations in Langley, Surrey, and the Lower Mainland.
Collage showing residential electrical renovation projects, including wiring rough-in, new lighting fixtures, and panel upgrades by Oakwest Electric.

Why electrical is the first thing to get right

Bad wiring doesn’t just cause a few headaches; it can bring your entire project to a stop. We’ve walked into beautiful new builds that looked perfect on the outside but had dangerous shortcuts hiding in the walls. We’ve seen renovations get held up because the panel couldn’t handle the extra load. And we’ve met homeowners who were left with flickering lights and tripping breakers after spending thousands on a remodel.

You deserve wiring that’s safe, reliable, and ready for everything your home needs today and tomorrow.

I hired James and his crew when I needed to upgrade my service to 200 amps. They did an amazing job. I will be hiring them again in the future and highly recommend.

We had James and his team check our panel to make sure it didn't need upgrading and to make sure everything was up to code. Within two days, everything was done! We highly recommend James and his team to anyone needing electrical work done. You will not be disappointed as they are punctual, efficient, and reasonable. Their customer service is top notch and that is such a rarity these days.

I contacted James after having power issues with my main breaker at home. He provided an assessment over the phone and sent me a proposal/estimate for the work to be done. James set me up with one of his technicians Kiel who was also amazing throughout . Kiel competed the work , explained everything he was doing and was friendly and knowledgeable . James arranged for the permit and contacted hydro to restore power after the work was competed. I highly recommend the team at Oakwest, honest and hardworking, excellent communication throughout and quality work done!

These guys were wonderful. They upgraded our electrical panel, installed a Level 2 car charger by running cable through our attic and then they did a bunch of small electrical fixes we needed around the house. We originally hired Hilltop Electric and they sent Oak West to do the job. Next time we will cut out the middle man!

Had an issue with an electrical to a washer and dryer. I found oak west in a Google search and was very happy with their service. I was well informed on my initial call. James was very professional, informative and followed up on things afterwords. Definitely recommend.

I called Oakwest Electric later in the afternoon with an unusual electrical problem. He arrived soon after and found a problem with our meter. It ended up being a major repair that required hours sourcing materials on a Saturday before a long weekend. He finished around 11PM. BC Hydro replaced their service cable and drove off 1:15 AM. James took care of every detail. The cost was at least $1000 below what I anticipated. We were in a pinch and James quietly took care of every detail.

Dealing with Oakwest was smooth and convenient. James had a technician dispatched to my place within the hour I called for an emergency repair, kept up solid communication throughout the process, and worked with BCHydro to make the whole event as pain free as possible. Bobby, the electrician sent, was quick, courteous, and knowledgeable. If I could give more stars, I would. 100% recommend.
