Quick, professional and reliable service. RJ installed an electrical outlet over our fireplace mantle for tv installation. He also mounted our TV for us, along with changing 4 of our ceiling light fixtures. Total cost for all services $1200. Very knowledgeable and we will definitely be calling him back.

We had an excellent experience with Trigger Electric Ltd. while making some electrical upgrades to our clinic, and I couldn’t be happier with the work they did. They added an additional dryer outlet for us and installed individual light switches throughout our treatment rooms, which has made a much bigger difference to our day-to-day operations than I initially expected. Having better control over the lighting in each room gives our practitioners far more flexibility and allows us to create a more comfortable environment for both our team and our patients. The entire process was handled professionally and efficiently. They understood that we were working within an active healthcare clinic and completed the upgrades with care and attention to detail. Everything looks clean, properly finished, and thoughtfully done rather than simply “getting the job done.” What I appreciated most was their willingness to work with what we needed and help improve the functionality of the clinic. These upgrades have genuinely made the space more practical, flexible, and comfortable for everyone using it. Very happy with the quality of the workmanship and the overall experience. I would absolutely recommend Trigger Electric Ltd. to other business owners or anyone looking for reliable, professional electrical work. We will definitely keep them in mind for future upgrades at the clinic.

I had a small electrical inspection job at my condo and wasn’t quite sure who would be willing and able to check things out for me. I used “find a service professional “ at Home Depot. The Home Depot associate and I had just finished entering details into the system when RJ from Trigger Electric called (he followed up immediately while I was still standing at the computer in Home Depot). A world record response time I bet! RJ not only took on this small job but he was also super flexible with his availability, punctual and speedy with his arrival time. Trigger is very professional and affordable- I highly recommend calling RJ for any size of job. Trigger is my go to guy for any future electrical work. Great customer service RJ - well done!

I had a great experience with RJ from Trigger Electric. He came to my condo in downtown Vancouver to troubleshoot an issue with the kitchen countertop outlets and did an excellent job. RJ was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to properly diagnose the problem instead of just replacing parts. He explained what was going on and made sure everything was working safely and properly before leaving. Very happy with the service and workmanship. I would definitely recommend RJ and Trigger Electric to anyone looking for a reliable and professional electrician in Vancouver!

I had a brand new stove delivered and I had no heat from any element or the oven. I called RJ and he came that same day to diagnose my dilemma. My breaker needed to be replaced. He was professional, courteous, and a pleasure to deal with. I am extremely happy and will absolutely use his services again. Thank you RJ!

We recently had our 200A electrical panel upgraded, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. RJ was professional, knowledgeable, and arrived on time. He explained everything clearly, completed the work efficiently, and left the area clean when work was compelete. The new panel looks great, and it’s reassuring to know our home’s electrical system is now safer and ready for future upgrades. Their attention to detail and quality of work really stood out. I highly recommend Trigger Electric to anyone looking for reliable, honest, and skilled electricians. Thank you for the outstanding service!

Thank you so much to RJ at Trigger Electric for helping us out with a damaged breaker. We reached out late at night, heard back right away from RJ who scheduled an appointment the next day. He called us that night to talk about the issue and we immediately felt reassured. The problem was fixed within a few days and we are so grateful. Would highly recommend Trigger Electric!
