About Us | Breakwater Electric Ltd

Cam Gellatly, Kerry Meservia, and Marv Kaetler are more than just names on a sign. Together, they have years of hands-on experience serving the homes and businesses of Vancouver Island. Each owner is a Journeyman FSR, which means every project, large or small, receives top-level technical oversight and code validation. This unique structure eliminates the single-point-of-failure that often leads to delays or quality issues with smaller outfits. From Parksville and Qualicum Beach to Nanoose Bay, Nanaimo, and beyond, our team manages everything from quick troubleshooting calls to complex new construction wiring. We run a lean, residential-based shop to keep costs competitive, and we never take shortcuts. Our clients receive the benefit of owner-led work, delivered with the kind of care you only get from people who live in your community.

Breakwater Electric bridges the gap between traditional service values and the technology needs of today. We are certified installers for Lutron Caseta smart lighting, Gemstone Track Lighting, and EV charging stations, serving everyone from tech-forward custom home builders to retirees wanting safer homes. Our service map covers core residential repairs, full panel upgrades, commercial facility maintenance, and specialty installations. We know the importance of clear communication and follow-through, whether helping a business in Nanaimo stay open during repairs or future-proofing a Denman Island home with integrated automation. Our clients value our straightforward approach and our willingness to offer professional advice while being decisive when it matters. We are proud to be the team you trust to protect your home, power your business, and keep your neighbors talking for all the right reasons.
