Huge Warehouse Refit
We recently completed a massive electrical upgrade to this warehouse. It came with a huge set of challenges including night work so as not to disrupt the business, maneuvering large lifts through narrow corridors and the over 500 fixtures to swap out for energy saving LED’s. But Wicks Electric came through on time and on budget and the client was extremely pleased at how smoothly we made things work.
A New Fixture Makes a Huge Difference
This beautiful chandelier adds a whole new dimension to this dining room. Originally in place was an old fashioned dome light that looked boring and gave the room a outdated look. This sparking beauty is the highlight of the room and perfectly matches the elegantly classic decor. Often a lighting upgrade is all it takes to transform a room.
Tesla Powerwall Coming Soon
Many customers are eagerly awaiting delivery of the new Powerwalls to arrive in Vancouver. Some of our clients have pre-ordered the unit to enhance their existing electrical systems. Although the cost is substantial, the savings mount up over the years, allowing storage of solar power and the ability to time shift power consumption to less peak demand times. Plus having the needed power during our frequent winter outages to run essentials like refrigeration, lighting and charging of electronics is appealing as we strive to be more self sufficient. For all your electrical needs, new technologies and old, Wicks Electric is here to “light the way” !
Commercial Tenant Improvement Electrical Project
Mark: Hi, it’s Mark from Top Local, we’re here with Adam Wicks and Jesse from Wicks Electric in Vancouver, one of Vancouver’s highest rated electrical contractor, up and coming new guys. How you doing guys?
Adam: Good, how’re you doing Mark?
Mark: Good, so Jesse is going to be subbing in for Adam over the next 4 weeks while he’s is away in Europe, raising all kinds of havoc. So we’re talking about a commercial tenant improvement project, an electrical project that you guys just recently did. What’s the story on this one Adam?
Adam: Yeah Mark, so this project was called Liquid Nutrition, Liquid Nutrition is a chain store selling healthy shakes and healthy food. It was a project out at UBC, at their brand new campus wing. It was one of those projects where there were many different aspects to it and I’m going to show you guys a picture while I explain this. So there is the final project, now there’s the final product of the store. We did a whole lot of wiring here, there was a ton of lights to lay out, there are as you can see, there are track lights, there are pot lights, there are some hanging pendant lights in the back, there are a whole ton of LED strip lights which you can’t really make out, but it you see that lady by the fridge, they are all around the fridge and the menu. There is some low voltage wiring for the control of the till and there was some exit and emergency lighting we completed as well. We also actually installed a whole bunch of speakers at Liquid Nutrition for them, so we provided the whole actual package. Yeah, we walked away very happy with the project and looking forward to many others like this.
Mark: So were there any tight requirements with this, with being out at UBC and that new mall?
Adam: Yeah, that’s a great question. There are actually a lot of requirements out at UBC. They are very strict, they have very specific guidelines, the franchise owner of Liquid Nutrition and the contractor were under tight timelines as well, so there was the budget factor, the timeline factor, with working at UBC which again, came with it’s own challenges and such, but all in all the job went really well, the safety officer at Liquid Nutrition for UBC was really pleased, the franchise owner was pleased and we walked away with another five star review. So all and all it was a great job and we’re looking forward to many more commercial tenant improvement projects in the future.
Mark: Awesome. So if you’ve got a tenant improvement project and you have some electrical needs these are the guys to call in Vancouver, Greater Vancouver, North Shore, as far out as Richmond, Coquitlam, you name it, they’ll look after you.

Another Happy Customer!
This recent large renovation on an old Shaughnessy home brought huge smiles to both the contractor and the client. A 3+ month job, everything was upgraded to bring the aging electrical system up to code throughout the entire house. The all new fixtures, switches, dimmers, outlets, fans and low voltage wiring transformed the home to a showpiece the homeowners are thrilled with. Delivered on time, on budget and with the exceptional workmanship our clients have come to trust, Wicks Electric delivers every time!
