Reliable has been an influential part of designing and installing the electrical on hundreds of custom home new builds. For the past 30 years this has been our most consistent area of expertise, and we are proud to have worked on some amazing homes in the greater Vancouver area that have ranged from 2,000sqft intricate homes up to 32,000sqft mega mansions! Collaboration is a technique we find most conducive to ensuring our clients get what they want in their end product. This can include assisting in finding the right lighting packages, designing and installing lighting and shade controls and working in conjunction with automation companies for smart home configuration. Right from the initial drawings down to installing the last few items before occupancy we work alongside the key stakeholders to meet the expectations of the homeowners.

Much like our new home construction process, we actively work with general contractors, designers and homeowners to make sure everything electrical has been thought through and accounted for so the end user is not left wishing they had implemented something that was never discussed. For the safety or our customers, our team will meet or exceed the current Canadian electrical code as quite often situations arise once walls and ceilings have been exposed to reveal old, non-permitted work from decades ago. From kitchen and bathroom renovations to complete home makeovers, Reliable Electric can effectively and efficiently ensure your end product functions as it should.

With the increased demand for electrical components such as EV charging and electric heat pumps, Reliable Electric are able to provide a full offering of options to upgrade your existing electrical service. From standard single phase 200 and 320 amp to upwards of three phase 600 amp upgrades, no service upgrade is too small or too big for our installation team. On top of offering solutions to balance electrical usage, our in house collective intelligence can easily provide detailed load calculations for municipalities and BC Hydro requirements as well as being well versed in varying municipal bylaws and constantly changing BC Hydro standards. Due to this knowledge base, we can effectively work with homeowners, engineers and general contractors to ensure the proper installation is completed both on time and on budget.

Replace the "wall of switches" with elegant, custom-engraved keypads like the Alisse or Palladiom series. HomeWorks allows you to orchestrate "scenes" where a single button press simultaneously adjusts overhead lights, accent lamps, and art lighting to a pre-set level—perfect for entertaining, movie nights, or a "Goodnight" path that clears the house in one tap.

HomeWorks isn't just about bulbs; it’s about managing the sun. Through integration with Sivoia QS or Palladiom motorized shades, your home can automatically track the sun’s position to reduce glare and protect furniture from UV damage. "Daylight Harvesting" sensors can also dim interior lights when natural light is abundant, significantly improving energy efficiency without sacrificing ambiance
-
Beyond lighting, HomeWorks acts as a central hub for your HVAC, security, and audio-visual systems. The "Away" mode can simulate occupancy by playing back your actual light usage patterns while you're on vacation, providing a layer of security that standard timers can’t match. It also integrates natively with platforms like Josh.ai, Apple HomeKit, and Sonos for effortless voice and app control.
