  • Servicing Port Alberni, Parksville, Nanaimo
Jim Rivard, electrician servicing Port Alberni, Nanaimo and Parksville stands in front of his electrical van near the Port Alberni sign. He looks friendly and knowledgable.
What our customers have to say
We are a construction company working on the mainland and in the 1000 islands. Jim Rivard was our subcontracted electrician, for approximately 20 years. Our joke was that he is the only electrician that we hired, who cleaned up his mess!

But seriously, Jim is always, prompt, knowledgeable and works faster than any 2 electricians which we have had to hire before him. After he migrated to B.C. our loss is certainly your gain! We wish him all the best in his new location!

Owner - Innovative Construction
We initially hired Jim from Rivard Electrical for the full rewire of our home in 2017. His professionalism and skill far exceeded our expectations. Since that first job, we have continued to have him back for all of our electrical needs.

He is an efficient, honest, and extremely reliable contractor. He always took the time to explain his work to us, and was very patient and knowledgeable when helping us make decisions about optimizing the function of our home. We recommend Rivard Electrical for any job, big or small!
