Unity and Light Electric Inc provides expert hot water heater wiring for homes, farms, and commercial buildings across the North Okanagan. We ensure your system has the correct breaker, gauge, and dedicated circuit to power your tank or on-demand heater efficiently and safely. Our work meets BC electrical code and is performed by licensed technicians who understand the demands of modern systems. We get it done cleanly, quickly, and correctly.
No Shorts. No Surprises. No Redo.
Protect Your System with the Right Setup
Improper wiring can void your warranty, reduce efficiency, and put your entire system at risk. That’s why we treat every hot water heater install like a critical load—not an afterthought. At Unity and Light Electric Inc, we verify load calculations, select the correct wire size and breaker, and install GFCI protection where needed. Whether you’re running off a panel upgrade, solar tie-in, or older infrastructure, we make sure your water heater receives clean, stable power. It’s not just about making it work—it’s about making it last.
Sized, Placed, & Installed With Care
Wiring That Matches Your Heater & Home
We install electric hot water heaters of every type—tank, tankless, hybrid, or high-recovery. And we match the wiring not only to the heater’s needs, but to your property’s layout and panel capacity. We keep lines clean, minimize surface conduit where possible, and handle all shutoffs and labeling for your convenience. For agricultural or rural setups, we account for vibration, moisture, and seasonal loads. For commercial spaces, we meet utility coordination and safety requirements. When Unity and Light Electric Inc wires your system, you know it’s built to spec and built to last.
Peace of Mind Starts with Power

Water heaters do their job behind the scenes—but only if they’re wired right. At Unity and Light Electric Inc, we bring a decade of licensed experience to every project, ensuring that your hot water heater is safe, legal, and ready for years of reliable service. Whether it’s a quick replacement, a full new install, or part of a home upgrade, we’ll make sure the job is done right—on time, and with no stress. Stay warm, stay safe, and stay powered.
What You Need to Know Before Installing
Hot Water Heater Electrical FAQs
Do I need a dedicated breaker for my water heater?
Yes. All electric water heaters require a dedicated breaker sized to the unit’s amperage and voltage. We’ll install it cleanly and to code.
Can I wire my own water heater?
It’s not recommended. Improper wiring can lead to fire risk, damage to the unit, or failed inspections. We ensure it’s done safely and legally.
Do tankless water heaters need special wiring?
Yes. They often require larger circuits and higher amperage. We’ll assess your panel and install exactly what’s required.
Will I need an upgrade to my panel?
Maybe. If your panel is older or already full, we’ll recommend options to safely support the new heater without overloading your system.
How long does installation take?
Electrical hookup usually takes 1–2 hours. If panel work or rewiring is needed, we’ll provide a clear estimate and timeline up front.

Wired Fast. Wired Right.
