Great group of people at Holmes Electric. They gave me some suggestions for lighting in my place and it looks absolutely fabulous! They are professional, knowledgeable and most importantly, made my house a home again with all the upgrades and repairs.
Susan Bizecki, Kelowna, March 2020
We have worked with Holmes Electric for the last decade and would not dream of calling anyone else for electrical work. They are efficient and work to the highest quality standards and have never steered us wrong. The electricians are personable and as a woman working as general contractor on our renovations, every guy I worked with on Mike’s team has treated me with respect and I trust their integrity.
Angela O’Brien, West Kelowna, Feb 2020
It has been more than ten years since we first hired Holmes Electric for all our electrical needs. Rod is punctual, dependable and courteous in responding to all our service calls. We really appreciate the company’s knowledge, workmanship and philosophy in getting the job done. Don’t hesitate – we highly recommend you give Holmes Electric a call!
Carol Ogilvie, West Kelowna, Feb 2020
We’ve had extensive work done on our house over the last three years from pots, to light to fans and recently had our panel upgraded. Probably a total of 10 visits and all have been exceptional. You can’t miss with this team! Huge shout out to John and Shane, great electricians and people!
Brett Man, West Kelowna, Feb 2020
I always receive excellent service from Holmes Electric. They always come on time as expected. I have used Holmes for a variety of projects including adding outlet plugs and switches, installing smart devices, trouble-shooting faulty lighting, and even installing a new remote transceiver in a ceiling fan. I recommend Holmes Electric.
Johannes Nieuwenburg, Lake Country, Feb 2020
We’ve had Mike and the crew come by a few times for some much needed work. Each job was on time and on budget. Exactly what we were looking for!
Gary Lynch, Kelowna, Jan 2020
I have had a great experience with Homes Electric, and would recommend them to anyone. Shane from Holmes has done extensive work at my home and office, and has shown impressive attention to detail and customer service skills. In a town where it’s hard to find good (and responsive) trades, I’ve been very happy with the work done by Holmes Electric.
Evan Cooke, Kelowna, Jan 2020
We have had the privilege of using Holmes electric for changes, modifications when required over the past 15 years or so. Recently I called Holmes to do some electrical work at my residence and was again impressed at how prompt, professional and reasonable they are. Amazing!!
Tim Ford, Kelowna, Jan 2020
Holmes Electric is my go to for anything electrical, they are quick to respond and sensitive to the needs of my business. They are always pleasant and helpful. They have suggestions to save money and always give advice for free. I am a satisfied Holmes Electric customer.
Margaret Temperton LCSHS, Manager – Blue Heron Apts. Lake Country, Jan 2020
We operate an emergency shelter in Kelowna therefore safety is important!
When wires started to smoke and spark, Holmes Electric came immediately after hours. They were amazing and able to rectify the situation so we could continue to offer emergency shelter to our ladies. On behalf of NOW Canada Society, thank you so much we will always call you for our electrical needs and will refer whenever we can.
Liz Talbott, Kelowna Women’s Shelter, Jan 2020
These creative and knowledgeable electricians will make your e-job a nonissue. I’ve called them regularly for over a decade. Recommend.
Kevin Kingston, West Kelowna, Jan 2020
We had Holmes Electric connect a second power meter to our house when we seperated off the front part of the house for a suite. We were very happy with his speed in getting this done, and at a very reasonable price. I definately would recomend them to all my friends and will be calling him back in the spring to hook up our new hot tub.
Clinton Wood, Kelowna, Jan 2020
With the generous support from Mike and Shane, the BC SPCA Kelowna branch has had only PAWsitive experiences working with Holmes Electric. We’ve been impressed not only with the quality but also the kindness to work around a busy workplace and the animals. We are grateful that we have been able to partner with such good people.

I can not say enough good things about Mike and the company. If you need work done, get it done by Mike and give yourself some peace of mind that it is in expert hands. Dog friendly too! Thanks for all your guys help and everything you have done for me over the years.
Jake Tremblay, Peachland, Sept 2019
This company, the owner Mike, is fair, FAIR, and a standup businessman. Thank you for the excellent response time: from our initial email inquiry, our pricing concerns from past over-charged jobs, our timing/your scheduling arrangements, your absolute professional – and all round “personality PLUS” and thorough man on the job SHANE. Never will another company be called again. Mike, you are true to your word. Looking forward to calling you for our next electrical project! Thank you again.

I’m sending this note to let you know that we were totally impressed with “Mike Fairfield”. He was professional, very thorough and did excellent work.

Mike and his guys are great! Both Rod and John were on site when they said they would be, and did the job the way they said they would (no surprises).We really appreciate their flexibility, honest advice, and tolerance for our endless questions. We would not hesitate to use them again.Thanks Mike for your help!
These guys were great. Easy to coordinate with, arrived when they said they would, and fit me in on short notice. Shane arrived and right away I could tell he knew his stuff and had a lot of experience.He made quick work of my relatively simple job, and was careful not to damage anything. These guys will be my go-to electricians from now on. Great job guys.
Mike & his crew of electrical ALL-STARS are the best!!! Provide AWESOME service in a timely fashion! If you need an electrician, Mike‘s the only call you need to make!!!
Just want to say thank you for sending Mike to do the Re & Re on the panel. You are correct, he is a miracle worker, at least an electrical wizard.
He could be found in the tradesmen’s handbook under the definition of Professional.
To start with, he had to deal with having to clean up someone else’s mess, but thankfully ended up with the neatest panel wiring I have ever seen.
Thanks again Mike

These guys go above and beyond to satisfy their customers. I called them, definitely on short notice, and they fit my reno work (2 whole days!) into their busy summer schedule to make sure my house was a safe place for my two small kids. Exposed wires and downed walls were no place for kids! Mike Holmes was extremely pleasant and courteous. The electrician he sent out, Mike, had been doing electrical for many many years and had the experience, knowledge, and efficiency I was hoping for to get the job done right, and FAST! Super friendly and extra sweet were an added bonus. He made sure he explained everything and that I was completely satisfied before he left. Pulling proper permits and arranging all the inspections was also an added bonus, so I didn’t have to worry about doing that either! Like I said, above and beyond. Much appreciated. I will be calling these guys again for any future electrical need for sure. Thanks Mike and Mike!

Dear Mike,
Thank you very much for the inspection report! I was not aware that Mike had not charged me the full amount until I read this note; I have no problem paying for the remainder of the fee so please advise the best way to finish payment as you did quote me $150. I can mail a cheque to you?
Also, thank you for spending time discussing my home and attempting to make me feel better about my situation. It was a very kind gesture on your part which I appreciated. I look forward to meeting you in person!
Enjoy your trip to Maui!!

For the past 10 years the District of Lake Country Parks and Recreation Dept. and Municipal Facilities have used Holmes Electric, almost exclusively, for our electrical maintenance and upgrades to our facilities and parks. We have always found Mike and his staff to be very knowledgeable and skilled Electricians who have always given us good advice and have responded to our needs quickly with quality workmanship. This was particularly evident during the boom years when quality contractors were in short supply and often too busy to respond to small projects. It was during those times that Holmes Electric proved to us that customer service was as important to them as it was to us. We are confident when we call Holmes Electric that our projects, big or small, will be dealt with efficiently, professionally and cost effectively.
Dan Clifford, Parks and Facilities Mgr.

Mike Holmes has been my electrician for 5 years now at both the house and farm. During that time he has done residential and commercial work and always of excellent quality and completed in a timely fashion. I particularly commend Mike for his kindness last winter during a very cold period. During a power failure he spent almost his entire Sunday doing emergency work so that the numerous horses would still be able to have water in spite of the sub zero temperatures which had caused the water heaters to fail.That is going way above and beyond the call of duty.
Thanks again Mike

In the spring of 2008 we found ourselves in need of a General Contractor and all the trades associated. We called up Mike Holmes for an initial consultation on the scope of work. Right off Mike thought all the quotes coming in were a bit high and the Electrical Engineered design was way too much. He looked into the entire project for us and confronted the Electrical Engineer on our behalf. Mike arranged for a new design and we went from 600 amp service to 400 amp, saving us enormous costs and time. Mike then put in a bid which was $100k less than the other bids received and without all the extras. Mike delivered on his promise. The project got done on budget including extras without any injuries,etc.. His entire Contracting team headed up by Dan Cresswell, delivered a flawless product that we are proud to show all of our customers. Their employees were very professional and polite during the very challenging process and in fact helped us move in and setup our Hospital.They had many good ideas and suggestions and were a delight to work with during the entire renovation. Mike got all the inspections passed and setup a maintenance program for us to follow at the end of it all. I would highly recommend Mike’s business’s, both his Holmes Electric division and his General Contracting team. They steered us in the right direction and we came up smiling. Thanks again Mike for a great job done!!
