If you are planning a Vancouver home renovation, and hope to include electrical repair or electrical services in your project, you will want to hire a certified electrical technician and a team of residential electrical contractors to handle that aspect of your project for you. Electricity is not to be taken lightly, as it can often be the most dangerous aspect of any Vancouver home renovation. In addition to keeping you safe, a Vancouver electrician will also make sure that your renovation is completed in the most efficient, aesthetic, and affordable way possible. What follows are a few electrical considerations brought to you by the professional home electricians at Wireman Electric. Here are things to keep in mind as you move forward with your Vancouver home renovation.
Outlet Placement
Seemingly a small detail, strong outlet placement throughout your home will make a huge difference and can be a real challenge to change once your renovation is complete. Consider where you need access to electricity currently and where you may want it in the future, and consult with your certified electrical technician to create an outlet map.
Get Creative
It is easy for homeowners to fall in line and choose the simplest lighting design or fixtures. Unfortunately, this often leads to boredom and dissatisfaction. As you work with your service electrician, don’t be afraid to ask about alternative solutions to see if you can find something a bit more unique and quirky that fits both your functional and aesthetic needs.
Don’t Forget About Exterior Lighting
Certainly, the interior of your home is important, but as long as you have residential electrical contractors working with you be sure to examine your exterior lighting as well. Tasteful lighting outside of your home can open up a world of opportunities in terms of enjoying your yard, porch, or balcony and things like motion sensor lights can do wonders to improve safety and security.
Build a Balance
While your Vancouver electrician is sure to be trained in the means and methods of safe electrical installation, they will also have great eyes for design and balance when it comes to rewiring or relighting your home. Lean on electrical services professionals to help you build the perfect balance between over-lighting and under-lighting, function and fashion, and budget and design.
Be Mindful of your Budget
Speaking of budget, the overall cost of a home renovation is certainly something to consider and will likely require you to prioritize some projects over others. After establishing a rough budget for yourself, be transparent with your home electricians to get a better understanding of what is and is not feasible. This will help you formulate a plan and decide what features or additions you would like to include in the final renovation.

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.
