There are an incredible amount of things to consider when building a home in Vancouver. Many of these challenges can be fun and rewarding to tackle yourself, but when it comes to electrical installations it is always wise to work with residential electrical contractors. Of all the systems and projects in a new home, electrical work provides the greatest chance for error and the highest risk for serious injury or even death. Hiring a residential electrician is the easiest way to guarantee a quality job completion and also your personal safety, and when seeking residential electrical contractors why settle for anything but the best? With decades of experience and a caring and passionate staff, the experts at Wireman Electric have worked tirelessly to cement our reputation as the leading provider of electrical repairs and electrical services in Vancouver. As you prepare for upcoming electrical installations in your new home, here are five things to consider.
Power Usage
As you plan for your electrical installations it is critical to consider how much power you anticipate using in your new home. If you are technologically motivated and plan on having many electrical conveniences that will draw on your system, work with your residential electrical contractors to ensure that the system they set up can support your needs.
Energy Efficiency
It is becoming much easier to incorporate energy efficiency into new home design, and if that is something of interest be sure to address that with your residential electrician early on in the planning process. From smart systems that reduce energy use to new efficient appliances, there are many ways to increase the overall energy efficiency of your home, and no one is more familiar with them than the residential electrician team at Wireman Electric.
Outlet and Switch Location
As you create the floor plan for your new home, don’t forget to consider locations for all light switches and outlets. Having a good idea of where you would like these critical components will help electricians create an electrical layout for your home. Remember it is much easier to install things like outlets and switches at the beginning of a project than at the end, and it is always better to overestimate your needs than underestimate them.
Specialty Switches
While it may seem novel, make sure to put some consideration into the types of light switches you wish to incorporate into your new home. Dimmer switches, for example, can add a lot of ambiance and class to your home but may impact the type of wiring you will need. If you intend to include any specialty light switches in your home, be sure to speak with residential electrical contractors first!
Don’t forget the Exterior
It is easy to get caught up in the details of planning for your home’s interior electrical needs, but don’t forget the exterior! Things like porch and backyard lighting and strategic outlet placement are critical for maximizing your home’s outdoor space, and they deserve proper consideration!

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.
