Kitchen renovation

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.

Arthur what can I say it has been pleasure to work with a client such as yourself.
Your condo reno turned out extravagant.
I think you did a great job designing the layout and all the built-in cabinets I'm glad you are enjoying all your new LED pot lights and in floor heat.

See you on the next one

Running Ethernet line from basement to pantry

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!

My go-to electricians: excllent work, honest and dependable

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!

Hey Arthur

It was an absolute pleasure working for you.
You did the right thing by replacing your old aluminum wiring.
Alluminun wiring can definitely be a safety hazard as time goes on.

Hope you enjoy your fresh new look on your Vancouver townhouse.

Thanks again Aaron

Great experience

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!

Secondary Suite Decommission

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.

Thanks for the great review I'm glad we could be of service and decommission your secondary Suite
We have done quite a few of these lately as the city of Burnaby is starting to enforce their tax penalties for having a secondary Suite.

Installed mast, upgraded power to 200 amps

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!

Secondary Suite Decommission

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.

Good to hear everything worked out with the inspector in the city of Burnaby secondary Suites need to be decommissioned if you are not using them or else you will have to pay extra every year for no reason

Decommission suite

We read about all the great reviews on Silverback Electric and decided to call Aaron. We needed an electrician to remove the 40 amp range receptacle, remove the range breaker from the panel, and remove hood fan and terminate hood wiring as per the city. All of our questions were answered quickly and the job was completed professionally, quickly and reasonably priced. HIghly recommended!
