Lighting

The job was completed within a week - from the day we spoke to the on site estimate to completion. Cory made a couple of suggestions that were far better than the 'ordinary'. Jessica was meticulous and clean. Mine was a small residential job, but they both made me feel like it was an important one. I highly recommend Vancity Electric.

Outlets upgraded to Aluconn

Vancity sent out one of their electricians for a consultation/quote, and the work was completely fairly shortly thereafter. Wasn't charged any higher than the quoted rate, which is appreciated, and the electrician did everything to code and cleaned the site after.

Hi Roberta, thanks for the work. This was a complete service change from 100 amps - 200 amps and it couldn't have gone smoother. I enjoyed your coffee you brought us in the morning as well !

Thanks.

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 was very pleased with the work Vancity Electric completed in my apartment (installing new heaters, lights and bathroom fans). Cory and Jessica were both wonderful to deal with. Cory had some great ideas on how to accomplish what I wanted (things I hadn't thought of). He really listens to what you want and has a "can do" attitude. Many contractors don't seem comfortable dealing with women. Not the case with Vancity Electric! I highly recommend them.

Knob and Tube Inspection

I got Vancity to come by to do an inspection re knob and tube. Not sure how common it is but they charge for the inspection since it's so involved. We were very happy with the inspcetion - very thorough and Jeff answered all our questions. The only thing was that they seemed to drop the ball for a few weeks when we asked for a quote on all the other work that needed to be done on the house - but in fairness they also didn't send us an invoice for the inspection until much later as well. Jeff was very apolegtic when they did send it and we still plan on using them once we start removing walls in our house:)

Small Electrical Problem

After a disastrous experience with another electrican I found these guys here. They were professional but friendly even though it was obviously a small job. He quoted $150 for 1 hour and thought it should be done within that time but couldn't guarantee it. Jessica arrived on time and clean (important to me) She rocked. She methodically went through all the things it could be and then she discovered that the light bulbs I replaced the old ones that had burnt out with were the wrong ones. She did this within the hour and even put in the right ones. I shall use no other.

electrical wiring and appliance installation

My daughter and I have called on VanCity Electric several times for work in our homes. Jessica and Cody have done excellent work - ranging from pulling wire from the electrical panel to install new baseboard heaters in an old home (not an easy job), to rewiring an apartment kitchen, supplying and installingn pot lights and a smoke alarm, and other general work. I ask all my friends and family if they need electrical work just so that I can recommend this company. Their work is outstanding and so is their attitude. Great customer service. Great technical work.
