Commercial Electrical, Start to Finish
New Construction
Tight timelines and high-spec installs demand a crew that scales. We crew up to meet your schedule without compromising finish quality or technical complexity.
Tenant Improvements
Tenant disruption and schedule risk are real. We work after hours, predict scope creep early, and keep every milestone on time.
Fire Alarm Replacement
Pre-2000 systems are reaching end of life — false alarms and obsolete parts erode life safety. We deliver turnkey replacements to current code.
Distribution Upgrades
Aging panels and rising power demands cap your building's potential. We upgrade distribution systems across commercial, retail, industrial, and multi-story residential.
EV Charging Solutions
Your tenants and customers expect EV charging. We deliver everything from single Level-2 installs to custom multi-175KW DC quick-charger kiosks.
24/7 Service & Small Contracts
Power doesn't fail on a schedule. Four service vans and two boom lifts mean we respond around the clock, every day of the year.
Built on 50 Years of BC Electrical Work
Action Electric has run commercial and industrial electrical projects across British Columbia since 1973. GM Mark Amos brings 25+ years in the trade — from service electrician to superintendent managing 25-plus electricians in downtown Vancouver. Project Manager John Vieira led the fire alarm upgrade at the Hotel Vancouver while the property stayed fully operational. As part of the Paladin Group of Companies, we coordinate electrical alongside security, data, and AV trades under one contract — fewer hand-offs, tighter scopes, better outcomes for clients.

What Clients Say
- ★★★★★
“Can't say enough about their service. I was a first time client that operates a frozen food establishment. BC hydro came into do a routine meter exchange and found an issue with our meter panel and subsequently had to shut our power off. After calling our regular Electritian to look into fixing our challenge we found that he was on holidays. Ok now for a perfect storm. No power and no Electritian. Upon his recommendation I called Action Electric. Without any previous history of me being a client or knowing what the issue was they called the hydro team and got to the job of repairing and replacing the issue right away. Allan the Electritian was one of the most professional service men I have met in my years of doing business. He obtained the parts and headed over and got us back up and running within hours. It was not a small task. The prognosis with hydro was not good , I had to have a back up plan to rent large external generators or move thousands of pounds of frozen items to a cold storage which would have resulted in several man hours and a closure of our store. Allan was most helpful as he went beyond the normal call of his scope and co ordinated with the hydro team to restore the power quickly after his repair work was done. I cannot say enough about their work, service team and their coordinator on the phone Patty. Thank you guys you will be doing all my future work going forward.”
