Selecting an electrician solely on the estimated price doesn’t mean that you’ll get the best value. By hiring a licensed electrician, you can not only save time, money, and aggravation but possibly even your life. What does it mean to be licensed? It means that an exam has been passed and the necessary qualifications to do the work is guaranteed. So, there are five important things to consider:
- Safety always comes first. Go with a company you trust. Electricity is dangerous, and if the work isn’t done correctly, it could lead to a fire. Note: your insurance may not cover you once they discover that the electrician was unlicensed. You risk a lot if you only consider the price.
- Time is valuable, and you can’t get it back. Your unlicensed electrician may take longer and do the work incorrectly. You may need to hire a licensed electrician then to do the work over, why pay twice?
- Aggravation results when you have no way of holding someone you hired accountably. If the person you hired is unreliable, takes longer than they claimed, or makes mistakes, you have no recourse except to fire the individual and hire a licensed electrician to do the work over.
- The cost of getting the job done right may be more in the long run if you try to save money upfront with an unlicensed electrician. What price do you put on your safety? It is better to get the work done right the first time and have peace of mind, knowing that all safety precautions have been taken. Pay a trained professional the first time.
- A guaranteed job is your best bet. A licensed electrician must guarantee their work. So, it follows that a licensed electrician takes responsibility for their work. You can be sure that the work has been done correctly and is safe.
If you are thinking of doing your electrical work yourself, there is an answer to this– don’t do it. As you read above, there are several good reasons for not doing the work yourself, even if you think you have the skills. This work remains the domain of the trained professional. The BC Safety Standards maintain tight, specific rules as to who has the kind of certification and license required to perform electrical work. At Wire-man Electric, we make sure that all the code requirements are met. We also facilitate permits which are required for all but the most minor electrical work.

Dante Gorn2024-01-15Very friendly, fast and efficient. Charges by time but definitely doesn't waste time. The job was done within 5-10 minutes and everything is working as it should.
Roberto Gonsalves2024-01-12I highly recommend Harman ! He helped me out when I was in a crunch with the apartment building I'm managing . He will for sure be the guy I call for this buildings electrical issues going forward. Thanks again Harman!
Amneet Khaira2024-01-11Full disclosure - I am Harm's sister but I've decided that it's finally time to leave his company a review. You can see through the 200 + reviews that Harm and his team are reliable. My husband and I have used Wireman for a number of years for various projects. They do great work and leave the site clean. On top of that, Harm is easy to deal with and is honest when providing electrical advice. Keep up the great work!
Merlin Oldejans2023-06-01Wireman Electric did an excellent job from start to finish. The crew were professional and always showed up on time. The quality of work was great and I am happy to recommend them!
The Centre for Child Development2023-04-03Harm was extremely professional and committed, persisting to find a solution for our portable power situation. He worked with us to get our portable onto a dedicated electrical service instead of being powered by a gas generator! As a non-profit organization, every penny counts and this will lower our costs and our carbon footprint. Thank you to Harm and your team for a great job!!

Barry Warne2022-10-19Top notch crew! Expedient. Friendly. Prompt and professional.
VM Travis2022-09-20Second time using their services because I was impressed by the great service they provided regarding installing my bathroom fan. Ali came this time to fix 2 outlets in my kitchen. After checking both out, it turned out only 1 needed fixing. He explained to me what the issue was and also checked out why 1 outlet that had a smart plug that was not working. Don't call anyone else! This company is the best.
Tanya Zukewich2022-05-31Wire-Man Electric is awesome! Harman and his crew are great! They came on time, were professional and cleaned up before they left. I would recommend this company to do any electrical work.
