ELECTRICAL UPGRADE

Octavio was a pleasure to deal with right off the get go. He was prompt (within hours) in responding to my initial email requesting a quote to showing up early for the work that was completed in two days. He worked around my schedule and the quality of work was fantastic. I would recommend his services to anyone. Thanks Octavio.

Office Electric Audit

Octavio came to our medium sized office to do a wiring audit and was pleasant and helpful. In the end he had suggestions and what we could do if we wanted to spend money but was honest enough to inform me that we were fine to continue as we are and did not charge me for the audit.

I would definitely use WireChief again in the future.

Track lighting job

Everything was perfect. Octavio was my electrician and he arrived 30 minutes ahead of time actually. Very friendly, and they did the job quickly. I would hire them again for an electrical need. Cheers, Ryan

Troubleshooting

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

I had no power in my apartment, I called WireChief Electric and Octavio arrived promptly. He found what the problem was and fix it in a professional manner. He was friendly and tidy. I would definitely recommend WireChief Electric.

Pot lights, sconces, moving electricial

Immediately after taking possession of a new construction townhouse, we proceeded to tear it apart to install additional lights and move electrical for audio/video. Octavio was professional, punctual and efficient. Couldn't be happier, and we've since scheduled him for additional work.

Installation of bathroom fan

Octavio was pleasant, fast, clean, and informative. He went the extra mile to help correct additional problems he discovered. Octavio event went so far as to provide the model number of the fan ahead of time so that we may familiarize ourselves with what we were buying before we accepted. He was excellent, and I would use him again or recommend him to friends/family.

ELECTRICAL UPGRADE FROM 100 TO 200 AMPS AND INSTALLATION OF BASEBOARD HEATING SYSTEM TO 1030 SQ FT BASEMENT

This was a completely unknown territory for me and Octavio and his colleagues not only explained in clear terms what would be necessary from the outset, including his accurate estimate and alterations to the house, but also as the project was in process. They arranged the permits and appointments with the city engineers and BC Hydro, and it was evident that they had good relations with both. They always called ahead of time to let me know when they were about to arrive, they called the night before to let me know what time they would arrive in the morning. They were professional, friendly and very accommodating. I feel very confident in their excellent work and would recommend Octavio to my family and friends.

Restored electrical service to building

On a Friday night late, we lost power (and subsequently hot water) to part of our building. Saturday morning I was not able to get my usual electrician in. After calling four recommended by BBB and having none return my messages, I came upon Wirechiefs. They returned my call with in 5 minutes. They arrived when said they would. Being a woman I appreciated not being talked down to, rather learning something new about the building I look after, and having the rest of my day to myself. They also provided me with an extra part for emergencies down the line.

What could this company do to improve their services?
At this point, I cannot say.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
I found out regulation emergency lights only stay on for one half hour. It really is a good idea to keep alternate sources of light around!

Electrical work - replacing plugs, installing baseboard heaters

We've had Octavio in a couple times to do electrical work in our place in Kits. We replaced a few baseboard heaters, several outlets, some lighting reworking, and needed to get some guidance on our main electrical box. I recommend him. I thought the pricing was fair & competitive. I called another place that gave me a quote that was double in price. Octavio was prompt, clean, professional and didn't waste time. We still have some work to do and we'll use his services again.

Get more than one quote. We were shocked at the difference in quotes for the same job.
