“Repeat business IS our business!”

Rivard Electrical is a family-owned and operated electrical contractor proudly serving homeowners and businesses throughout Port Alberni, Parksville, Nanaimo, and surrounding Vancouver Island communities. We believe in honest communication, quality workmanship, and providing reliable electrical solutions tailored to each customer’s needs.

We relocated from Ontario to B.C., in June of 2024, with the desire to be closer to our kids and grandchildren.

Rivard Electrical was established in 2007 in Ontario, servicing a vast array of customers, from private homeowners, Kingston & Gananoque Dairy Queens, Gananoque L.C.B.O., Lyndhurst & Lansdowne Canada Post Offices, Kingston & Gananoque Pharmasave, Stones Mills Medical Centre (Gananoque) as well as several custom builders including C.R. Builders (Gananoque), Innovative Construction (Rockport) and Smith Carpentry (Lansdowne ).

Being a family-run electrical business, we started small, and have decided to remain small focusing on quality and detailed workmanship. 

Whether you need help with a renovation, service upgrade, new construction, or electrical repairs, Rivard Electrical is committed to providing safe, professional service from start to finish.

We use KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE AND RELIABILITY as the cornerstones for building long-lasting business relationships. We look forward working with you!
Owned and operated by Jim and Michelle Rivard.
