LGD Electric / Service Areas / Electrician Point Grey
Licensed Electrician Serving Point Grey: waterfront panels, character rewires, EV charging.
West Point Grey covers the waterfront neighborhoods along Spanish Banks, Jericho Beach and the UBC endowment lands border. The housing stock mixes pre-1950 character homes with newer infill toward the UBC side. Waterfront exposure drives corrosion on outdoor meter bases, masthead weather-heads and exterior receptacles. LGD Electric pulls the City of Vancouver electrical permit (Vancouver operates its own permit system), uses corrosion-resistant NEMA 3R enclosures on every waterfront installation and coordinates BC Hydro on any panel upgrade or service change.
What we see in Point Grey
Point Grey service calls fall into two buckets: pre-1950 character home rewires along the lower slopes and waterfront corrosion remediation near Spanish Banks and Jericho. Outdoor meter bases take a beating from saltwater and humidity. LGD specifies corrosion-resistant fittings and NEMA 3R enclosures on every waterfront job.

Vancouver is one of the only BC municipalities that operates its own electrical permit system independent of Technical Safety BC. Every electrical job in this neighborhood is pulled under a City of Vancouver electrical permit through the City's Development and Building Services office. LGD holds the contractor licensing required to pull City of Vancouver permits and handles the final inspection walkthrough with the City inspector.

Is Point Grey inside City of Vancouver boundaries?
Yes. West Point Grey is inside the City of Vancouver. Every electrical job in Point Grey goes through the City of Vancouver electrical permit, not Technical Safety BC. (UBC endowment lands are a separate jurisdiction.)
