Silverback Electric

I just had Aaron out to fix a faulty outdoor outlet. It turns out that the electrician who installed it 5 years ago had done a very poor job. Aaron fixed everything quickly and efficiently and his bill was extremely reasonable. I see why he has been the Homestars Best of Vancouver three Times. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing electrical services.

I'm currently in the process of renovating my condo kitchen and I needed an electrician to relocate some receptacles and switches and add wiring for two new pot lights as well as new receptacles to match the amperage requirements of our new cook-top and wall oven.

I'm new to BC so I had no particular contacts for the job. I found Silverback Electric on homestars.com, called them and spoke with Aaron. Aaron was super kind and helpful and came over two days after our initial phone conversation to do the work.

Communication leading up to his visit was a breeze. Aaron made sure to check all my needs prior to the job so that he was able to complete everything in one visit, which is always nice.

Beyond the work itself, Aaron was extremely patient in answering my questions, especially since I know very little about electrical work. I'm very happy with the work that was done and feel much more confident with my own knowledge of electricity after dealing with Silverback Electric. I highly recommend them!

Update: I had Silverback Electric back for some more work last week and this time I dealt with Eric. Wanted to note that the service was once again excellent! Eric was super nice and very professional. I was especially impressed with his knowledge since he is so young. I think he's got a promising future as an electrician and as a Silverback Electric employee. Will be calling these guys back whenever I have more electrical work to be done at our place.

I had Aaron's team do a tough ethernet run from my office to my upstairs pantry as I was having wifi problems. His team was on time, professional and hard working.

They found a route that snaked through my ducting and through paths that I didn't know existed (or possible) in my house! Lines were terminated with patch panels.

It's been a year and a half and things are still working perfectly! The networking in my home is super fast and no more complaints from the family about no or slow internet.

Aaron also came out to help me fix an outdoor receptacle that was giving me problems. He tested and fixed the problem quickly and professionally.

Would definitely use them again and would recommend to my friends!

I initially called Aaron to quote on a complete electrical system replacement in my townhouse. The building had aluminum wiring from the 1970s, and it needed to go.

Right from the get-go, I knew that I was in good hands. Aaron is one of the most honest, down to earth and reasonable trades I've had the pleasure of working with. From the initial visit to scope out the work, to the communication during the quoting process, right through to the electrical system removal and replacement, I have had nothing but an amazing experience. My project wasn't easy - but Aaron and his expert team of electricians handled it all deftly.

Since the original electrical system replacement, Aaron's number is the first one I call if I need any electrical work done in my home. He's the kind of guy who is always there for you. Can't recommend him enough!

Aaron and his team are true professionals! Easy to deal with. Good price. Works around your needs. One of the best decisions we have made during the renovations. Will definitely use again and highly recommended!

Needed some new light fixtures installed. Silverback was able to work with my schedule and send someone in less than 48 hours! Derek was great. He arrived on time and was very professional, going above and beyond to take care of everything we need, even following up later in the day to make sure things were still working well. I'd highly recommend them!

Read a lots of great reviews about Silverback Electric and was pleased to hire Aaron to decommission our secondary suite. He promptly responded to all my inquiries and the quote was very reasonable. He guaranteed his work and even suggested that I paid him after the inspection was passed. He arrived punctually at the scheduled time and the work was performed quickly, professionally. He is knowledgeable and had all the parts handy to complete the job. The inspection was passed without any problem the next day. I am very satisfied for the work Aaron has done and I highly recommend him. Would definitely hire him again in the future for any electrical works.

I am very happy that I had Silverback Electric do our bathroom electrical updates, Aaron did an awesome job and he is a great electrician and does great work. I highly recommend him to friends and family to have him do any of their electrical needs. I will be having Aaron back to do more electrical updates in our home.

Thank you, Aaron
for a great job.

We needed to have our power line moved from under our roof soffits to a roof mast, and to have the service upgraded to 200 amp. I'm so pleased we hired Silverback for this work! Aaron responded to our initial email inquiry really quickly and had a quote to us shortly after getting our photos/job details. His quote was very fair and matched my final invoice with no surprises.

The work took place over two days and Aaron and Andrew arrived right on time both days. In addition to doing fine work (which passed inspection no problem) they were both very considerate of my property - e.g., laying down cardboard so as not to track mud on my floor, carefully cutting out my drywall so it can be reinstalled etc. Aaron also had all the details sorted out - once I hired him I didn't have to worry about dealing with Hydro, permits or inspectors. It was all organized at his end - all I had to do was be there to open the gate.

It's just like the Silverback website says - these guys are reliable, honest and friendly and I wholeheartedly recommend them!

Hired Silverback to decommission our basement suite.
Aaron arrived promptly at the scheduled time. We found him to be honest, pleasant and easy to talk to. He completed the work quickly as well as giving us a fair price.

This morning the Burnaby inspector came and said the work was done perfectly to their requirements. I would highly recommend Aaron for any electrical work and would not hesitate to hire him again in the future.
