Who We Are
-
Every project has its quirks — an odd panel, a mid-reno surprise, a design detail that needs a creative fix — and that's honestly the part of the job we enjoy most.
We work directly from architects' and designers' plans, and we're just as comfortable talking through fixture placement as we are running wire.
Solving puzzles efficiently and without cutting corners is what 17 years of renovations and custom builds across Whistler and Squamish has taught us to do well.
-
It comes down to trust. Trade partners want the electrical to go smoothly so they can focus on everything else they're managing. Homeowners want fair value and real peace of mind the job’s done right.
Either way, that means clear communication throughout a project, pricing you know upfront, and work done to the proper standard, that when necessary, passes inspection without a second look, and in a timely fashion.
-
Locally owned and operated, originally out of the Garibaldi Highlands of Squamish BC, Highlands Electric has served the Sea to Sky corridor for over 17 years.
Now based in both Squamish and Whistler with multiple vehicles on the road, and a modest sized crew, yet adequate enough, dependent on the needs of any given project, big or small. Be it a 1 man service call out, or a decent sized crew for larger residential and commercial projects, we can handle it.
Every Whistler and Squamish project we take on gets our full attention.
Call Highlands Electric and there's a good chance you're talking directly to the owner himself — on the phone, or on-site in person with his tools in hand.
