17 years of electrical experience, focused on your home
After 17 years in the electrical trade, there isn’t much Tyler hasn’t seen in a home—from EV charger installations and electrical panel replacements to dead outlets, lights that stop working, tripping breakers, troubleshooting and urgent electrical calls. That experience helps us find the problem efficiently, explain the options clearly and complete the work safely.
The move from TY Electric to Lime Electric is more than a new name and a bright new look. We wanted to build a fun, energetic electrical company that stands out for customer service. Our focus is simple: give North and West Vancouver homeowners the best possible experience from the first call to the final clean-up.
When you book Lime Electric, you can expect a friendly, highly experienced electrician at your door, reliable arrival and communication, respect for your home, and straightforward advice without a sales pitch.
As the company grows, that standard stays the same. We only bring on licensed journeyperson electricians with several years of hands-on experience—people we trust to troubleshoot properly, do clean work and treat homeowners well.

Residential services
What do you need help with?
Everything we do is residential — houses, suites, townhomes and small strata units. Repairs and service calls are the bulk of the week; panel upgrades, EV chargers and hot tub electrical are the projects we're quoted for most.
Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting
Breakers that trip repeatedly or won't reset. Dead plugs and receptacles, and half-working circuits.
Panel Upgrades & Panel Swaps
Service capacity assessed before any upgrade is recommended. Panel swaps where the equipment itself is the problem.
EV Charger Installation
Level 2 (240V) charger installation and hardwiring. Service load assessment and capacity options.
Hot Tub Electrical
Electrical hookup for new and replacement hot tubs. Assessment of existing service and panel capacity.

Why homeowners call us back
A small residential crew, working one neighbourhood
We're not trying to be the biggest electrical company in the Lower Mainland. We're trying to be the one North Shore homeowners keep the number for.
You talk to the electrician, not a call centre
Call or text and you reach Tyler directly. The electrician who visits already has the details, so nothing gets lost between a dispatcher, a salesperson and the van.
Working the North Shore since 2012
Residential electrical work in North Vancouver and West Vancouver has been the focus for over a decade, so local homes and the way they get used are familiar ground.
Small jobs get taken seriously
A single dead outlet is a real appointment, not a favour. Repairs and service calls are booked the same way a larger project is.
Straight answers about scope and cost
If a repair will do, we say so. If a panel genuinely needs replacing, you get the assessment behind that recommendation rather than a sales pitch.

Small job? Big deal to us.
A lot of electricians would rather only quote big projects. Small residential service calls are the core of what we do — one dead outlet is a real appointment, not a favour. If any of these sound like your house, this is exactly the kind of call to make.
A breaker keeps tripping
It resets, then goes again — often when one particular appliance runs. The breaker is reacting to something real.
An outlet or plug is dead
One receptacle stopped working, or a few on the same wall quit together while everything else is fine.
A light isn't working
New bulb, still nothing. Or it flickers, buzzes, or only works when something else is switched on.
A switch is acting up
A switch that does nothing, a dimmer that hums or won't dim smoothly, or a three-way that never worked right.
Partial power or a panel issue
Half the house is out, some rooms are dim, or the panel itself looks or sounds wrong.
Something you can't identify
You know something electrical is off but can't describe it in trade terms. That's fine — describing the symptom is enough.
Text Tyler a photo
A photo or short video of the outlet, the light, or the open panel gets you a far more useful first answer than a phone description. Send it to 604-700-3414 with one line about what stopped working. We aim to reply to calls, texts and service requests within 15 minutes during working hours.
Bigger home electrical projects
When it’s more than a service call, these are the jobs North Shore homeowners quote us for most. Each one starts with a capacity check — a photo of your panel is the fastest first step.
Panel Upgrades & Panel Swaps
01Most homeowners ask about a panel for one of two reasons: they have run out of breaker space, or they are adding something large — an EV charger, a hot tub, a heat pump, a suite or a renovation — and want to know whether the house can carry it. Those are different problems with different fixes, and an assessment is what tells them apart..
Panel Upgrades & SwapsEV Charger Installation
02Home charging is mostly an electrical capacity question, not a car question. Before we quote a Level 2 charger we look at your existing service, what else draws on it, where the charger needs to go, and how far the cable has to travel.
EV ChargersHot Tub Electrical
03A hot tub is one of the biggest single loads most homes ever add, and it's usually the electrical side — not the tub — that decides how straightforward the project is. Before anything gets quoted we look at what your existing service can actually support, where the tub is going, and how the circuit has to get there..
Hot Tub ElectricalPot Light Installation
04Pot lights are one of the most common residential lighting requests, and the difference between a good job and a bad one is layout and access. Spacing, beam angle and colour temperature decide how the room feels; ceiling framing and insulation decide how much drywall repair is involved..
Pot LightsLocal coverage
Residential electrical work across North Vancouver
North Vancouver is our primary service area and West Vancouver is a close second — the North Shore is where we work.
We cover the City and District of North Vancouver — Lonsdale, Lynn Valley, Edgemont, Deep Cove, Seymour, Blueridge, Canyon Heights, Pemberton Heights, Grand Boulevard, Norgate and the neighbourhoods around them. Houses, suites, townhomes and small strata units are all normal work for us.
Every quote reflects the property rather than a flat rate: the age of the wiring, the capacity already in use, and how far a new circuit has to travel. That's why a photo of the panel or the problem gets you a far more useful answer than a phone description alone.
If you're on the North Shore and it's residential, it's almost certainly something we cover — including small repair calls. Start with repairs and troubleshooting if something has stopped working, or panel upgrades if you're adding a large load.
Every core service has its own page with the detail behind it, and the services hub points you at the right one. West Vancouver homes are covered from the West Vancouver page, and the full breakdown is on service areas.

How it works
Three steps, no runaround
Most homeowners go from first message to booked work in a single conversation.
- Step 1
Tell us what's happening
Call, text a photo, or send a request. A quick description usually gets you a useful price range without a site visit.
- Step 2
We confirm scope and timing
You get the plan in plain language — what's involved, whether a permit applies, and how long we'll be in your home.
- Step 3
Work done, area left clean
Circuits labelled, drywall impact kept minimal, and inspection handled where required.
We aim to reply to calls, texts and service requests within 15 minutes during working hours. The quickest start is a text with a photo or short video of the problem — or of your panel, if it's a panel upgrade, EV charger or hot tub you're pricing.

Short notes from the posts on our Google profile.
Checking an older panel before an EV upgrade
Before planning an EV charger, it's worth looking at the panel's age and condition and how much capacity the house actually has — so the upgrade fits the home rather than a guess.
Panel upgradesLayering kitchen lighting
Pot lights handle general light, pendants work over an island or table, and placement matters most where you actually prep and cook.
Pot lightsBreakers that trip, and planning new loads
A breaker that keeps tripping is a signal worth tracing. Finding the cause also shows whether that circuit has room for something new.

Also over the bridge in West Vancouver
West Vancouver is our second home patch — Ambleside, Dundarave, Horseshoe Bay, Caulfeild, the Upper Levels and the properties along Marine Drive. Same residential focus: repairs and troubleshooting first, plus panel upgrades, EV chargers and hot tub circuits.
Larger lots and long cable runs change what a new circuit costs, so a photo of the panel and the location usually saves a trip. Text it to 604-700-3414.
