Expert Electric Ltd.

Called them because we a tenant had electrical problems. They were here in 20 minutes and fixed the problem!

I was able to get an appointment the same day. The electrician, Hamid,
found a problem with the old thermostat where a wire had become frayed and had sparked at some time in the past. We decided it was best to replace the thermostat even though it could be made functional, because it could be a safety hazard in the future. Hamid went to a supplier to get the correct thermostat for our electric baseboard heaters and replace it the same day.

Our electrician was helpful, polite and completed the work I requested in a timely manner. I called Expert Electric and I had the work completed the very next day.

"EXPERT" Electric Ladner / Tsawwassen. Short circuit...

We had been experiencing issues with our electrical panel - several plugs continuously blowing circuits until one day last week reseting the breaker didn't appear to fix the problem. I called the 2 page spread in the local phone book "Expert Electric". They agreed to show up the next day within a 4 hour window, which they did. I explained the problem to the technician who pulled out his quote sheet (you are promised a quote before any work starts) for an "18 Point Electrical Safety Inspection". Our house was built in the 80's so I thought a thorough inspection might be in order - and I signed off on the "inspection". $293.50 right there. For that much $ you'd think you'd be getting a very thorough evaluation of your home's electrical and that the problem would also be remedied. NOPE. In the hour that followed my signature on the "work order" nothing worth $293.50 happened. The panel cover was removed, tech used my compressed air to blow out any dust. He tightened a few connections (none that I saw needed any tightening), checked a few circuits and put the cover back on. He put a new cover on the outlet (which, btw, was actually working when he checked it). Then he checked the smoke alarm. And then, on his way out I noticed the front house lights were not working. He said "Oh, they probably just need to be turned on again". And then he and my cheque were gone into the Friday afternoon - and the problem that I called about in the first place was not corrected. Let me tell you about some of the finer points of the "18" point inspection: 1. Proper clearance of overhead wires. 14. Test Smoke detectors 18. Company contact info sticker on main panel. I understand that getting a quote up front might be important, but when I call for a specific issue I expect I'll be billed per hour until the problem is fixed.

I called that evening to notify EE that the problem had not been fixed, but that I had reset the breakers myself.

On Monday morning I called the office to explain what had happened and my complete dissatisfaction. What would have been fair would be for me to pay for the hour at the hourly rate and that would be that. No deal. When these guys roll up, it's $293.50 for their inspection, regardless of what your electrical problem might be. James was the guy who answered and told me they would be happy to set up another 4 hour window for me to hang around until they could get there and do what they were asked to do in the first place. I watched the service $293.50 got me. If you don't have time to do it right the first time (at $293.50) when will you have time to do it over? Not interested. Not interested in tearing my garage apart for the 2nd time. Not interested in watching a tech obviously feeling guilty about taking $300 of my hard earned money for doing next to nothing.

I will not be having EE back to my home. They did not fix or address the problem. They basically gave me the electrician's version of "We will steam clean every carpet in your house" deal, got the cheque and left doing a half-assed job - or in my case doing very little - certainly not $293.50 worth, even at trade rates. This is a make-work program. In hind sight I signed up for what I thought would be a full electrical evaluation and a solution to the problem. Instead I got my cheque book tested. They talk a good game - all work guaranteed. I guess there just has to be some work done TO guarantee.

I'm sharing this so anyone can avoid the jolt I got.

Expert Electrical : AVOID

We had Mike help us install another plug for our washer and update our smoke alarm system.
Was such an amazing experience. Very professional, courteous and helpful. The job was done as forecasted.
Will definitely use this company again.

I was getting my home ready for tenants, who were moving in within a few days. I called Expert Electrician to diagnose a ceiling fan that wasn't working. The electrician advised that I could either replace the two broken parts, or get a new fan, and if I decided to purchase a new fan, I have to make sure that I got one that was able to accommodate a vaulted ceiling. While he was at my house, he noticed that all of the smoke detectors were expired! He came back a few days later to install the fan and upgrade the smoke detectors before the tenants moved in. Ali, the electrician, saved me from what could have been a very serious situation -- renting out my house with dysfunctional smoke detectors! Thanks, Expert Electric! Your technicians always show up on time, with a heads-up call from the dispatcher 30 minutes prior to arrival. Technicians are always polite and professional.

the technician was honest,kind,very helpful and quickly repaired the problem and gave great advice for other issues.I would definitely call for further issues and recommend them to other people.thank you

I requested same day service as we are a working family and the bathroom and bedroom lights were off. I called at 7am and they fit us in the same morning. The techs were professional and courteous and found the problem yeah! We have always used this company for our electrical problems. We have an old rancher and the problems have never been easy but this company has been a life saver!

Hamid was accountable for his time and for his pricing.
He was friendly, informative and looked at a range of solutions before moving forward.
Would have him back and recommend to others.

The lighting in my condo was dated, and the existing fixtures threw off a lot of additional unwanted heat in the summer. I called Expert Electric, because my friend used them before for her town-home. She highly recommended them, and specifically, Brad. Now I can see why. In April of 2017 I called and they sent Brad out to do an estimate the very next day. Brad was not only on time, he was 15 minutes early! Brad was super polite, professional, humorous, and he was very confident in his trade. Brad reassured me he would have my lighting revamped within my budget in no time. When Brad returned to change the lighting, once again he was early and clearly ready to work. He completed everything promptly, and was very focused on the task at hand. I also overheard Brad on the phone, dealing with another customer. This customer had phoned Brad with a question. Brad was super polite, reassuring, and confident in speaking with this client too. Brad completed all of the work under the time estimate he gave me. He did not stop for one break, and the lighting chosen works and looks excellent. I can't say enough, about how pleased I am with this company, and their electrician Brad:) -- a day after the work was completed, the public relations gal Lindsey called me to make sure that I was happy with the job. I also thought this was a classy gesture, from a great company. If you need a very confident and skilled electrician, and a genuine down to earth pleasant fellow, call Expert Electric in Vancouver, BC and ask for Brad. Thank you, Anita.
