Simple electrical work for appliance installation

Aaron at Silverback was great with a very simple job I needed done... was worried I'd never get someone since it was so small but he fit me in between a couple of other jobs, was very responsive getting in touch and gave me fair pricing. And he was super fast when he got here! I am so appreciative, nice to have a positive experience since I was already dealing with some unexpected hiccups in what should have been a straightforward install. Thank you!

Amazing Company the best out there

I am not the type to leave reviews but I just had to for silverback electric. Aaron (the owner) has been our electrician since our first renovation in 2013. He quoted the job and it was bang on, he and his staff arrived on time and got the job done when he said he would. It was a no brainer to have him back when we did construction again. They are just the best out there and he is the only electrician I would ever use. I give him 10 stars but I can only put in 5. Thank you Silverback Electric

Garage Sub Panel Install

I had Aaron and Silverback Electric do a job for me about 4 years ago for which he did a 10/10 job on. I didn't hesitate calling Aaron to get a 100 amp sub panel brought into my garage for power tools (wood working) and eventually a level 2 electric vehicle fast charger. He made sure he had all the materials (#2 wire, panel, new outlets, breakers) when he showed up to get the job done and as usual everything was a neat and tidy when completed. What I like about Aaron is he fits in the small jobs and doesn't charge you an arm and a leg like some of the other outfits do. Super easy going personality and explains everything in easy to understand terms. Thanks again Silverback for a job well done!

Light repair

My light in my mechanical room was not working so Aaron had a peek at it and fixed it in under 10 minutes. With the extra time he installed a new fixture that I had sitting around. I definitely recommend Aaron.

Removal of all knob and tube from a 1927 house

Dennis and Eric removed all of the knob and tube wiring from my old house with minimal damage to walls and ceilings. They cleaned up after the work as they went. I felt quite safe having them in my house. They were punctual, pleasant and efficient. The job was very complex and I expected a much larger bill. I absolutely recommend this company.

Absolutely fantastic

Off the back of his Homestars reviews I gave Aaron a call to resolve an issue where I had drilled into a wire behind some drywall. He tried everything he could to resolve the problem without cutting a hole in the wall, which I really appreciated (it did eventually need to be cut, sadly).

I liked his attitude so much that I immediately pulled the trigger on some LED pot lights I have been wanting to have retrofitted in my bedrooms since we moved in. Yet again I was impressed by his approach as he managed to remove and replace my crappy 1970s switch boxes without damaging the drywall, something akin to construction brain surgery.

By the time he and his colleague left, it was like the lights had always been there.

Aaron's quote was fair and the final invoice reflected it exactly. Throughout, he was approachable, good-natured, showed attention to detail and he went the extra mile.

As a new-ish homeowner, it's a huge relief to have a trusted electrician in my contacts list. The only problem is, now I have no excuse for putting off all the little electrical projects I have in mind! Sorry Aaron, you're going to be busy...

Laundry Dryer Install

Aaron is a problem solver and enjoys challenges. When I first started talking to him about this project he was responsive and optimistic and found a way to complete this task professionally and to code - where I was told by others that it would be too hard etc. He's great and I would definately recommend him to others.

Under kitchen counter LED lighting & outside addition of an outlet

Aaron installed under counter LED strip lighting and put the lighting on a dimmer (like my wife wanted). He also installed an outlet outside for us in an area we didn't have power.
Fast, efficient and cost effective. We would highly recommend Aaron for any job around your home - at a fair price for professional workmanship.

Fix faulty outdoor plugs

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.
