Electrical Solutions.
Made Simple.
Clear, dependable electrical service for homes, renovations, property managers and local businesses in Port Alberni and across Vancouver Island.
Simple Electric
For more than a decade, Simple Electric has provided practical electrical solutions for homeowners, property managers, restoration contractors and local businesses throughout the Alberni Valley and Vancouver Island.
From planning and troubleshooting through installation and final testing, every project receives direct communication, careful workmanship and a clear understanding of what comes next. Small service calls receive the same attention as substantial renovations and service upgrades.
Our work includes renovations, lighting, new circuits, panel and service upgrades, EV charging, electric heating, safety corrections and network cabling—the electrical and data connections that keep a property working.
