I’ve had Mike come out for several years now maintaining and repairing electrical countless times in southwest Calgary. When it comes to residential electrical repair and troubleshooting, He always finds the issue and fixes it if it’s possible to do it on the first trip without drywall repair or exterior adjustments and knows a lot about home construction and building science to advise the customer when it comes to weighing their options.

Mike and Team were fantastic to work with. We have a large property with a complex boiler, hydronic heating system and electrical system. To make matters more complicated, we had another company complete work on it the prior summer and many things were unfortunately broken in the process. Mike and team came in and promptly and efficiently diagnosed and fixed multiple issues. Everything is now working perfectly! They were great to deal with - on time, under budget and great communicators throughout the process. Would absolutely recommend.

Mike made it a top priority to come over to help us out (same day) to fix another terrible contractor’s work. He is a hard working and honest guy. So relieved to have him as an electrician going forward! Highly recommend!

Best electrician in Calgary - don’t call anyone else! I had a smoking thermostat and Mike from YYC Electrician came out right away. He helped me order a new one and then installed that one promptly. He is friendly, professional, and trustworthy and prices are reasonable. 10/10 recommend. Thank you Mike for all of your help!!

Great experience working with Mike. Organized the appointment on a Sunday night and he had everything fixed by Monday morning! Very professional and recommended some other solutions and price points for some lower priority items around the house. I will definitely be giving him a call again!

We had Mike replace our outdoor garage sconce lights partly because one of them had a short circuit and needed further looking into. He was able to repair the short and replace the old lights with a fixture that has motion detection and turns off automatically during the day and activates with motion automatically during the night. Mike responded right away to our request, service was excellent, and we are so happy with the new garage lights! Highly recommend this business A+
