December is here, which historically is one of the most demanding months in the Pacific Northwest. As such, it is also one of the most difficult times of year to tackle home electrical repair projects on your own as icy conditions and cold weather can put a strain on electrical systems. Lucky for you, if there are urgent home electrical repairs or commercial electrical services you need to be handled quickly, Wireman Electric has a Vancouver electrician team always ready to help.
Identifying Potential Issues Before They Arise
The most critical winter electrical safety tip we can provide at Wireman Electric is to stay ahead of the curve and know how to identify potential electrical problems before they become major issues. If you notice your lights flickering or irregular buzzing sounds coming from any of your electrical devices or outlets, consider that a cue to call a Vancouver electrician. Pay extra close attention to these signs during or following intense snowfall or freezing rain events and extremely cold conditions. As you wait for a professional to arrive to help with your home electrical repair, make sure to turn off all power in your home – or at the very least isolate the part of your house in question – to avoid causing a serious electrical emergency.
Conduct a Thorough Check Before Winter Truly Sets In
To be even more proactive about the challenges posed by the encroaching winter months, the experts at Wireman Electric recommend doing a thorough walkthrough of your electrical system each fall. The best way to do this is to hire a Vancouver electrician trained in such things to visit you once or twice each year. They will ensure everything in your home is working as it should and will be able to identify possible problems or areas that may need an upgrade more precisely than an untrained eye. This not only keeps major electrical overhauls and repairs at bay but is a great way to ensure the safety of everyone in your home as well.
Don’t Do It Yourself, Call the Professionals
Of the many utility systems within a home or business, your electrical system is by far the most difficult and dangerous to work with. A lot can go wrong with DIY electrical projects, and it is not uncommon to do more damage than good. As we move into the deeper winter months – where having functional electricity in your home or business becomes even more critical – leave the heavy lifting of residential and commercial electrical services to the professionals.
Whether you want to schedule a routine systems check, have a critical repair that needs to happen as soon as possible, or are requesting a quote for an upcoming electrical project, give the experts at Wireman Electric a call today. There is no project too small or too large for our passionate and experienced team, and we are here for you!

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.
