Jasjot Kohli

Owner · Red Seal certified · Class B Field Safety Representative

Our story

Before the trade, Jasjot worked as a security guard. What he actually loved was fixing things, so he made it his trade, and he has worked as an electrician since 2016. He earned his Red Seal, and in September 2019 he started The Wire Guys so he could run a business doing the work he loves.

We are still a Canadian family-owned business, with Jasjot as our owner and our designated Field Safety Representative. That makes him the person responsible for the electrical work our crew does meeting code.

BBB Accredited

We have been BBB Accredited since 2023. Our profile is public, so you can read it yourself.

See the profile

We pull the permit

Work that needs a permit gets one before it starts, and we file it ourselves in whichever municipality the job is in. We are there when the inspector comes, and the job is not finished until it passes.

A guarantee in writing

New construction carries a one-year guarantee and renovation work carries six months. If something we installed is not right, we come back.

Pricing you can see

Our rate is $135 an hour for a Red Seal electrician plus a helper, and it is the same rate at 3am as at 3pm. Many jobs get a flat price instead. The estimate is free. Tracing a hidden fault is a $165 diagnostic for 45 minutes, and you finish it knowing what is wrong and what fixing it takes.

Homes, businesses and strata buildings

We work in three kinds of buildings, and the job runs the same way in each one: permit filed, work tested, inspection passed.

Businesses

Lighting, tenant improvements and repairs for commercial buildings. For FIFO Innovations in Burnaby we replaced the lighting across the building and did the electrical for their kitchen, attic and crawl space. See our commercial electrician services.

Strata buildings

Electrical work for strata buildings and the people who manage them, on the same permit-and-inspection process as every other job.

Our head office is in Abbotsford, and we work across British Columbia from the Fraser Valley to Greater Victoria.

What our customers say

Every quote below is word for word from our public Google profile.

  • This was our third time using The Wire Guys and again they did a great job! NaNak removed an old, noisy ceiling fan in the main bedroom and replaced it with a silent, modern one that works like a charm. He called before arriving, removed the old fan, installed the new fan, showed us how to work the remote control and then cleaned up the area and took the old fan away to be recycled. We are very happy with the services The Wire Guys have provided us and would recommend them for anyone's electrical needs.

  • Needed power behind my new fireplace. I fully expected I would have to repair drywall and paint after an electrician was done.Jas arrived same day I called, laid out a plan where no drywall would be disturbed. Appointment made for 2 days later. Arrived on time, Nick and Nanek did a very clean job running line behind baseboards. Everybody was very polite and respectful.

  • Just want to say thank you so much to Jaz and his crew. He took the time out of a very busy work day and personal schedule to come and assist me with my issues in my home. He made what could easily have been a much more traumatic electrical experience into a calm well thought out affordable plan His work was top-notch and I highly recommend The Wire Guys Electrical Ltd to everyone looking for an honest thorough good electrician. I will be calling the Wire Guys for future endeavours as I have a few projects. I’m looking at right now. Thank you again.

  • Jas and his team installed a couple of ceiling fans for us, which involved cutting open the ceiling and rerouting wires. He was polite, knowledgeable, and thorough. Even after the job was done, he took the time to address any remaining concerns we had. Would happily work with him again and recommend to others.

  • I spoke with Jas to set up installing a 36 inch ceiling fan. Two guys arrived on time and did a great job with the installation and installing a switch. They even offered to sweep up the little bits of dust from the install. Excellent prices and professionally run.

  • Jas and his team did a great job installing new landscape lights for us and also fixing the deck lights that haven’t worked in years. They also added another electrical outlet outside on our deck for us which we have been wanting for a while. Efficient and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!!

  • We had an outstanding experience with The Wire Guys Electrical Ltd.! Their team is incredibly professional, punctual, and highly respectful of your time. We initially hired them to replace the lights in one of our commercial warehouse units, and their fair pricing and excellent service quickly convinced our entire team to proceed with them for the second unit as well. Since this was a commercial project, they took all the necessary steps to ensure compliance, including verifying their insurance with the strata, confirming their license, and meeting all strata restrictions. Their attention to detail and professionalism gave us complete peace of mind. What truly set them apart was their flexibility and commitment to our needs. Since shutting off electricity during working hours wasn’t an option, they went the extra mile to complete the entire job during night shifts, allowing our operations to continue uninterrupted. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and customer-focused electrical company, we highly recommend The Wire Guys Electrical Ltd.!

  • I am thrilled with the top notch job The Wire Guys (Jas and Guri) did for me - wall plug replacement, troubleshooting & fixing a chronic breaker issue, AND installing the proper support hardware for a ceiling fan. These guys were knowledgeable, polite, thorough, clean, and met their ridiculously reasonable quoted price. Would I recommend them? Absolutely!!! Thank you thank you thank you!

  • I first contacted another company to come fix. I left vm and after a day did not have a response. I then called these guys and within 4 hours Jas was over and fixed my panel! Amazing customer service in an era where the norm seem to be customer LACK OF service! You guys rock!

  • Replaced breakers and separated the microwave on a separate plug. This avoided the overload in Deming of light that we were experiencing. Great work. Jas and team will ensure renovations are properly wired!

  • Jas came and set up our electrical for our new hot tub and also helped us out by fixing some of our outlets that weren't working properly. He did a wonderful job and we would recommend him to anybody. He is very professional and also good communication and lets you know everything he is doing.

  • I wanted to install a EV Charger for my car. I was confused between the 240v plug or the wall charger. I contacted Jas, and he recommended the $50 240v adapter. His knowledge about various wall chargers actually helped me save $650. On another note this is the only company that ever cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend these guys.
