D&S Electric: Looking Behind Walls!

Company Profile

Mar 12, 2017

D&S Electric was founded in 1985 as a residential service provider in Williams Lake, BC and has since grown into an electrical contracting leader in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors throughout Central and Northern BC.

D&S Electric has set itself apart by employing a highly trained and certified team of electricians, experienced estimators and project coordinators who enable the company to undertake projects of all sizes. D&S is also committed to ensuring it maintains the proper tools and equipment for every job they undertake, including the only local bucket-truck with a 50’ boom. In addition to their electrical services they place significant focus on project estimating, management and coordination in all their divisions, including Automated Controls, Data Communication and Life Safety Systems (emergency lighting).
