There is a reason these guys are 5 star rated! I always get great service, speedy responses and a high level of communication on my projects. It would be hard to use another electrician after using CBS. Highly recommended!

I contacted CBS after a referral from a friend. Immediate response and work started within days. My major stressor was an autistic son who was not thrilled moving his belongings and having strangers in his space. Wes was very understanding and accommodating by spreading the work into two half days which helped us immensely.
Russ and Carl were absolutely amazing, patient and non judgemental. Over two days they called before arrival , were on time, had a great sense of humor with us and amongst themselves which I must say I found very refreshing these days. The quote I got was spot on, they finished

I can't tell you how impressed I am with the professionalism and service of CBS Electrical. I had my thermostats switched out. My husband and I could not figure out how to re-set the programs resulting in freezing cold and way too hot when we didn't want to be! After two days of trying ourselves we called CBS. They came out within 2 hours and switched them out for us - thank you Christian! Wow what service! I am and will continue to recommend this company to all my friends and family

I found CBS to be responsive, professional, and courteous. I left a message online near end of day on a Friday, and within three minutes I got a return phone call. The technician offered to do a "free fix" by phone, if possible, and when that didn't work, they had someone out to my home the next business day first thing in the morning. Later that day, the fellow that took my original call, contacted me to make sure that my problem had been resolved, which it was. Rarely, do I find any business that offers this kind of customer support--it was impressive.

CBS did a satisfactory job with our new house build in Nanaimo. The new wiring met code and the first stages were done in a timely manner. However, we were met with a scheduling issue on CBS's side which affected our occupancy date. We also have an outstanding item (kitchen cabinet lighting) now 9 months after the final bill was paid. We understand pandemic stocking issues have made scheduling more challenging, and our outstanding item is relatively minor however we are now looking into finishing the job ourselves or hiring another local contractor. For the price I paid I would have hoped for

CBS Electrical is a fantastic and trustworthy electrical contractor company. Wes was through and comprehensive in his quoting and demonstrated spades of integrity throughout. Russ was top-notch: always on time, clearly skilled and an expert in his trade, answered our questions, and completed the work efficiently and cleanly. Our work was repairing an electrical supply for our outdoor studio and expanding lighting options from our existing fixtures. No job is too small for this team. The work was important to us - and it was clear it was important to them too. 5/5 - and well use them again when

I've used CBS Electrical Contractors twice this fall to install ceiling fans and light fixtures. Two different electricians from CBS provided service, but each one was professional, courteous, friendly, and on-time. Both were able to remove my old fixtures and install the new ones in fairly short order, and it was easy to work with Wes to schedule the visits.
