Orange Electric

Of all the trades that were part of building our 4600 sq.ft. dream home in Squamish, Karl and his crew at Orange Electric were one of the best to deal with. Not only was he one of the few trades who stayed on budget (except for additional items or changes on our request, of course), he took ownership when he had misquoted our main service panel (a 400A beast!) and he ate the cost difference despite me offering to meet him in the middle. What a class act!Although not everything went to plan perfectly, Karl was always available to discuss options or help with compromises. His solutions were clever and the results amazing. As a home owner, our vision is sometime nearly impossible to execute, but Karl's job is to make sure that it can get pulled off as close as possible without infringing on the code and by trying to stick to the schedule as best as possible under the circumstances. A tough job, for sure!I appreciate Karl for his honesty and down-to-earth, calm nature - something that is so important during the stresses of a complex home build.I would highly recommend Karl and his crew at Orange Electric and if you can secure him on your project, consider yourself lucky! I look forward to using his services again.

They were the electricians used by our contractor; kitchen & bathroom renovations a couple years ago. I can’t say enough good things about all the guys that came and worked on our house.Since then we’ve called them a few times for other jobs. Shockingly fast response, come when they say there are, professional, explaining what’s going on and why. We have the downstairs to renovate and I’m hoping they are going to be available when the time comes. As I said, I can’t say enough good things about Orange Electric in Squamish.

I have been a tradesman (HVAC) for 31 years so I have worked with many, many different electricians. Karl and the guys at Orange Electric stand out as one of the best I have every worked with.I built my own house 2-1/2 years ago. I was lucky enough to have Karl recommended to me by my builder Aaron. I had never previously met Karl.Karl was on time and on budget with no hidden extras. He accommodated the few changes I asked for without any problems.I can't recommend Orange Electric highly enough.

Karl at orange electric is very professional and knowledgelable, but I regret going with Orange electric for the following reasons:1. They were unable to commit to any sort of timeline which caused us delayes and additional costs. My opinion is that they signed up for more jobs than they could deliver and hence had to juggle them.2. Despite paying over 10K for a Lutron system, they did not complete the configuration and face plates for it.3. They made a mistake in putting in boxes in concrete for outdoor lights. That mistake cost me over 1000$ in having to buy new lights as they were required to complete the build.If I was building again, I would not use Orange electric but try one of the bigger electrical companies in Whistler/Squamish area.

Karl is an outstanding electrician and I find it hard to believe that someone could leave him a negative review. I have used him for years and he has always been excellent.Dean TerryTim Horton's Squamish and Whistler
