DCC Load Management with EV Charger Install
An electrical calculation has determined that your electrical service cannot accommodate a new EV Charger Load, we always recommend a service upgrade for detached homes and load management systems for non-detached homes.
How it works:
The load management system will monitor your electrical panel’s total power. Once 80% of your panel capacity has been met the DCC will disconnect your EV Charger from the panel. The charger will be reconnected once the value has dropped below 80% for approx 15mins.
Budget:
Install package prices start from $2900 plus tax, and electrical permit costs vary. Additional charges that are not included in the electrical scope – drywall/paint repair, roof repair, building envelope repair, asbestos testing/abatement (required for homes built prior to 1990). Price is subject to a site visit.
Step 1: Prepare Budget:
Send the following information and images to [email protected]:
- Information: full home address, square footage, location of electrical panel
- Following Images: Electrical Panels in the home (Clear images of the labeling on the panel)
Appliance list, type of heating in the home, number of electric stoves, hot tubs, etc.
Step 2: On-Site Visit
- Once requested information and images have been sent to us, our team will provide a budget via email.
- Once a budget is approved, our electrical team will schedule an onsite visit.
- A final quote will be sent once an onsite visit is completed. If that quote is approved, our office will ask for a deposit prior to pulling permits and scheduling.
Step 3: Permits/Scheduling
- Permits take up to a week to be issued.
- BC hydro scheduling may take up to two weeks. Once a day has been scheduled, we will inform the customer of the date.
Step 4: Day of Install
- Technicians may require power to be turned off for 1-2 hours for the install
- Note: the customer is responsible for, roof repairs, building envelope repairs, and drywall/paint repairs
- EV Wiring included up to 10ft within the electrical panel.
- The customer is responsible for the supply of an EV Charger
Notes:

Dante Gorn2024-01-15Very friendly, fast and efficient. Charges by time but definitely doesn't waste time. The job was done within 5-10 minutes and everything is working as it should.
Roberto Gonsalves2024-01-12I highly recommend Harman ! He helped me out when I was in a crunch with the apartment building I'm managing . He will for sure be the guy I call for this buildings electrical issues going forward. Thanks again Harman!
Amneet Khaira2024-01-11Full disclosure - I am Harm's sister but I've decided that it's finally time to leave his company a review. You can see through the 200 + reviews that Harm and his team are reliable. My husband and I have used Wireman for a number of years for various projects. They do great work and leave the site clean. On top of that, Harm is easy to deal with and is honest when providing electrical advice. Keep up the great work!
Merlin Oldejans2023-06-01Wireman Electric did an excellent job from start to finish. The crew were professional and always showed up on time. The quality of work was great and I am happy to recommend them!
The Centre for Child Development2023-04-03Harm was extremely professional and committed, persisting to find a solution for our portable power situation. He worked with us to get our portable onto a dedicated electrical service instead of being powered by a gas generator! As a non-profit organization, every penny counts and this will lower our costs and our carbon footprint. Thank you to Harm and your team for a great job!!
Jesse Davidge2023-03-02We had a 400amp service installed at my house. Harman and his team did a great job and were very responsive to any questions/concerns I had. Appreciate the work they did.

Barry Warne2022-10-19Top notch crew! Expedient. Friendly. Prompt and professional.
VM Travis2022-09-20Second time using their services because I was impressed by the great service they provided regarding installing my bathroom fan. Ali came this time to fix 2 outlets in my kitchen. After checking both out, it turned out only 1 needed fixing. He explained to me what the issue was and also checked out why 1 outlet that had a smart plug that was not working. Don't call anyone else! This company is the best.
Tanya Zukewich2022-05-31Wire-Man Electric is awesome! Harman and his crew are great! They came on time, were professional and cleaned up before they left. I would recommend this company to do any electrical work.
