Electricians in British Columbia

Search BC electricians free, and see which ones the people you know already use.

Electrical work is the one trade where an unlicensed job is illegal in most of Canada, and where the licence is easy to check.

Pros We Know holds 1,649 electrical businesses in British Columbia, 673 of them checked against the City of Vancouver business licence roll. Search them free in the app. When you connect with people you know, their electricians show up first, with who used them and whether they would rehire.

Is the electrician licensed?

What to check whoever you hire

• WorkSafeBC clearance letter. Free to check, no account needed (check it here). Without it, an injury on your property can become your problem.
• Liability insurance. Ask for the certificate, not the promise.
• A written quote that says what is included, what is extra, and when payment is due.
• Someone you know who hired them. That is what Pros We Know is for.

What to ask a electrician before you hire

• What is your ECRA/ESA (or provincial) licence number?
• Will the work be inspected, and who books the inspection?
• Is the panel big enough for what I am adding, or are you quoting an upgrade too?
• Can I see the permit before you start?

Where they are

The BC electrical businesses we hold, by city: Surrey (627), Vancouver (241), North Vancouver (78), Coquitlam (54), Abbotsford (54), Langley (48). The app searches by your own postal code or location, so the list you see is the one near you.

Why the pros your people use rank first

Pros We Know is not a review site. There are no star ratings and nothing a business can pay for. When you search, the pros your own contacts have used come first, then the ones people in your network trust, then licence-checked businesses nearby. What you see about a pro is who used them and whether they would rehire, from people you can actually ask.
