TDR was professional in all my dealings with them. They completed the work in a timely manner and to a high standard. I will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is looking for an electrical contractor in Metro Vancouver.

My experience with TDR was outstanding. They completed a 200 amp service upgrade + installation of a hardwired EV charger. Couldn’t be happier with the end result. TDR came up with a cost effective strategy and kept aesthetics in mind. They took the time to educate me on the process and made sure the electrical cable feeding the EV charger followed the natural lines on the exterior of our home. At first I was a bit worried how the cable might impact the aesthetics, but after seeing the final installation I couldn’t be happier. They did a fantastic job!!Why I selected TDR – At the proposal stage, Sam took the time to educate me on the job at hand. I didn’t feel he was rushing off to another project at any point. He did a fantastic job setting expectations and was quick to respond to a few change order requests. I clearly chose a great company to work with. Dillion and Matt (the folks who completed the work) were beyond friendly, professional, courteous and their work was impeccable. Thank you! Thank you!!

We recently used TDR to upgrade our electrical service from a 70 amp service to a 200 amp service. Due to some rather strange BC Hydro rules, it was more complicated than we thought it would be. We were required to install a “private pole” in order to run the service to our house. TDR took care of everything; from getting the pole installed to digging the trench, (we decided to run the cable underground rather than cut down a 50 year old tree – thanks for that idea Sam), to installing the new breaker box and answering any questions we had during the project. They were friendly, easy to deal with, on time, on budget and did quality work. A special shout out to Dillan and Peter for the great work and friendly service! We would highly recommend TDR for any electrical work.

We needed to have a new electrical panel and EV charger installed in our garage and TDR did a great Job. They responded to my emails promptly and clearly explained what the various steps would be (invovled BC Hydro and City of Vancouver). The electrician Dillon was on time, very friendly and patiently answered all of my questions. Very happy with the end result.

TDR Electric was great to deal with from quote to finish. The entire team was super professional. Dylan did a great job ensuring everything was done to high standards. We couldn’t be happier with our Tesla EV charger install and various electrical adjustments at our home.

Sam impressed me from the beginning of our interaction when he responded to my phone call within 20 minutes, and was able to come over quickly the same day and assess my situation. He was proactive and maintained contact with both the district inspector and the appropriate BC Hydro personnel. He was very knowledgeable about the repair issue (damaged BC Hydro meter box), how to obtain the permits required in the municipality, and also patiently and respectfully walked me through the process of the power shutdown at the street level and reconnection. He kept in contact with me throughout and made this potentially stressful situation, much more manageable. The service was exemplary, the price estimate was reasonable, and I look forward to working with them again!
