WireChief Electric

Dwayne was professional and did a great job of fixing our dimmer switch/pot light problems.

Very professional and courteous. Provided thorough explanations. My second positive experience with this company.

I have used WireChief for 3 projects now, ranging from small (kitchen under counter lights and outlet installation) to pretty big (full knob and tube replacement for a 1930 Heritage home). Most recently WireChief performed a 200AMP panel upgrade and EV Charger install on our home. This required running a significant amount of new wire to the city utility connection and underground conduit to supply the EV Charger.

Each time Octavio and his team have been very professional, both in the examination of the requirements and level of effort, quote preparation, completion of work and communication through to inspection.

Despite the city utility giving only 12 hours notice of electrical disconnection to allow WireChief to do what they needed on the panel upgrade, Octavio was able to assemble his crew and get the job done.

The workplace is always clean during the project and returned to original conditions after.

I can't recommend WireChief enough for your electrical needs.

High project management service level for a challenging single family residential site was provided including coordination with the City of Vancouver, BC Hydro, and sub-trades - for new pole installation, relocation of meter, and underground cable.

Edmond was super efficient and quickly repaired our electric outlet. Highly recommend. Likeable folks.

My only criticism is to send invoice after the work done please, not prior. Must’ve been an admin error but worth keeping an eye on it

Dwayne did an excellent job, and was able to quickly resolve the issue. I liked the job based costing as opposed to the typical hourly charge as there was no incentive to work slowly. I would definitely use them again.

Dwayne was here to assist with materials, troubleshooting and follow up service. Well done and professional to ensure a complete the job!

Octavio's team came to install a 240 V plug in our kitchen so we can replace our gas stove with electric. I was happy with the online consult and the reasonable quote. The guys installing the wiring had trouble getting the cable from our 2nd floor panel to the 1st floor kitchen. But they communicated well and didn't charge any extra fees when the job took an extra day to finish. There's a fair bit of drywall repair to do now, but I'm pretty happy with the job they did.

We hired Octavio and his team given previous customers’ comments about their expertise in knob and tube removal. They brought the electrical up to code in our 110 year old home. We were worried walls needed to come down, but they were able to rewire the house by making minimal cuts to the walls. The guys are friendly, courteous, and reliable. They kept us updated on their progress, and when they encountered a complication, worked with us to find a solution. We would recommend Wirechief for anyone who needs to remove K&T wiring with precision.

I called WireChief Electric last week regarding regarding a concern I had regarding the wiring in my wall. He returned my call quickly and was able to deal with the problem. Octavio is a straight up honest guy who explains issues clearly and charges reasonable rates. I can't recommend him enough.

We hired Wirechief to remediate aluminum wiring in our house and to install some new fixtures. Octavio is great to work with and took the time to explain the process. Oliver, Ben and Edmond were on site for about a week and flawlessly performed the work. They were neat and tidy and exercised a high degree of care when they had to cut a few holes in to the drywall to run a new circuit which made it super easy to repair after the work was done. I highly recommend Wirechief and will be sure to hire them again for future electrical needs.

Great quality work!

I solicited multiple quotes for the socket work. This company is very competitively priced and I liked how it was a fixed price (as opposed to an hours rate with no fixed # of hours).

Availability for work was very quick which is nice to get the wiring job done.

Staff arrived on time, used drop sheets to keep the area cleaned. They worked quickly and efficiently (two people came). When they were done, they cleaned up nicely with a vacuum. Fixing the drywall was my responsibility (which is standard) and it was well communicated. Invoice was in my email inbox the day before and it was easy to pay (quick books).

I’ll definitely be recommending and using them again for electrical jobs!

We recently completed a big rewiring of knob & tube with not-to-code handyman specials done over the decades in a 100 yr old house. It was long overdue to be modernized and for insurance purposes. It was a challenging project that grew in scope from the initial plan and we are glad we chose WireChief. Octavio and his crew stood out from the start compared to the rest of the companies we contacted. Clear and responsive communication and excellent customer service, quotes were detailed and competitive with no surprise charges, the guys on site were professional and courteous, flexible with scheduling around our young children's schedules. Highly recommended.

I've worked with Octavio and the WireChief Electric team on numerous residential renovation projects. I appreciate the level of professionalism he brings to my projects. I also am always impressed with his open and clear communication as well as the timely manner in which he completes the jobs. Octavio always delivers a friendly and knowledgeable service. I would not hesitate to recommend him and his team for your electrical project - big or small.

Octavio is a great electrician, with prompt, friendly, and reliable service. His work and professionalism are excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend Octavio and Wirechief Electric for any electrical needs you may have.

Our 6 unit strata recently hired WireChief Electric to do a "full electrical system review" that was required by our insurers. We originally thought we would have the electrical review completed by WireChief and then obtain quotes from 3 or 4 electricians for the repairs, but I think we all now agree that having the report and the repairs completed by WireChief was the most efficient and cost effective approach. Octavio, Ben and Edmund were amazing - the report was comprehensive, estimate for repairs accurate and cost very reasonable, scheduling of repairs timely and flexible, and the work itself was great. As someone who is severely immunocompromised, the extra care and attention that Ben and Edmund took each day (for over a week) to miminimize the risk of Covid-19 for me and others in the building is much appreciated. We are all very happy with WireChief and recommend them completely!

Chief Electronic did an excellent job replacing our regular lights for pot lights the work was done very professional, clean and on time we are very satisfied with results thank Octavio and crew.

WireChief rewired the electrical system of my property. It was a $11,000+ job. I had to chase them down for the final report. Communication was spotty. I had another job but they didn't seem interested in giving me a written quote despite doing the first job. If you're in a situation where your insurance company compels you to upgrade your electrical system under a quick deadline, your choices are limited. I am not an electrical expert and knew very little about the work itself. It's a game of blind trust. The options WireChief offered were very expensive. In hindsight I would have shopped around more. If you're spending such a big chunk of money, it makes sense to do your due diligence.

Came to replace 3 20 year old hardwired smoke alarms. Was kind, quick and efficient all the way. Great people!
