ABOUT CYPRESS ELECTRIC

Founded and led by Samson Lacasse, Cypress Electric is built on real-world electrical experience and a clear commitment to doing things the right way.

Samson has worked across the full spectrum of electrical construction, from residential and commercial projects to large-scale industrial work, including complex hospital builds and critical infrastructure environments.

He is a Master Electrician, fully licensed and bonded, and holds his FSR-A designation, allowing him to oversee and certify electrical work at the highest level.

His approach is modern and forward-thinking, grounded in strong fundamentals, current code knowledge, and a deep understanding of how electrical systems must perform safely, efficiently, and reliably over time.

OUR VISION

Our vision is to be a trusted partner for homeowners and businesses who want clarity & confidence, built into every project. We focus on electrical work done right, up to code, and properly permitted from initial planning through final inspection.

By combining decades of hands-on experience with a modern approach we help our clients navigate today’s electrical requirements with confidence, ensuring systems are safe, scalable, and future-ready.

Power built on expertise. Compliance delivered with confidence.

  • From small home renovation projects to large-scale commercial installations, we provide thoughtful electrical design and precision installation built on safety, performance, and fullfilment.

    Every project begins with proper planning , ensuring systems are designed to meet current code, load requirements, and long-term use, not just today’s minimum needs.

    Whether it’s lighting layouts, panel upgrades, tenant improvements, equipment connections, or complete system builds, our work is executed with attention to detail and regulatory oversight from start to finish.

  • As homes and businesses continue to add EV chargers, heat pumps, high-efficiency equipment, and modern technology, many existing electrical services are no longer adequate or compliant.

    Electrical service upgrades ensure your system can safely handle increased demand, meet current electrical code requirements, and support future growth. Whether upgrading panels, increasing service capacity, or coordinating with utilities and inspections, proper planning and permitting are critical.

    We provide professionally engineered, fully permitted service upgrades designed for reliability, safety, and long-term performance giving you confidence that your electrical system is built to today’s standards and tomorrow’s needs.

  • In British Columbia, including the Lower Mainland, many electrical systems require more than a one-time installation permit. Electrical Operating Permits are required for the ongoing operation and maintenance of certain electrical equipment and systems, particularly in commercial, industrial, and multi-use buildings.

    These permits ensure electrical systems are maintained, supervised, and kept in compliance with the BC Electrical Safety Regulation and the Canadian Electrical Code. They also require oversight by a qualified Field Safety Representative (FSR) to help protect occupants, property owners, and businesses from safety risks, code violations, and costly rework.

    We work with homeowners and businesses to navigate operating permit requirements, electrical planning, and compliance, delivering confidence that electrical systems are safe, up to code, and properly managed.

  • When electrical issues arise, fast answers and qualified expertise matter. Our electrical service calls are designed to identify problems quickly, resolve them safely, and ensure all work meets current code requirements.

    From tripped breakers and power outages to faulty wiring, equipment failures, and general concerns, we provide thorough troubleshooting and clear recommendations , not quick fixes that create future risk. Whether residential or commercial, every service call is handled with the same level of care, documentation, and professional oversight.

    Our goal is simple: restore power safely, reduce downtime, and give you confidence that the issue has been properly addressed.
