Why Choose Us

Who We Are

I’m Graham McKinley. My wife Kathy and I launched McKinley Electric Ltd back in October 2005. We operate in the beautiful Lower Mainland of British Colombia, proudly serving the Greater Vancouver area and beyond.

As we revamp our website in October 2024, it’s hard to believe we’re beginning our 20th year of business. The journey hasn’t been all easy. However, the people we have met, the friends we have made, the many employees we have trained, and the projects we’ve completed make it all worthwhile.

Nothing makes us happy and satisfied as being part of our clients’ success, so we often strive to find creative ways to work towards our shared goals.

What We Do

Our Success - It’s Built on Three Key Pillars

  • Customers: We don’t exist without you! Our wonderful customers keep us going; not only do they use our services and spread the word, but also inspire us to be better…we owe them so much. We like to think of our customers as our “Boss” and we work every day to ensure we meet their expectations.
  • Employees: In a service company like ours, our staff is the backbone of everything we do. We work with an incredible team who have shown tremendous dedication, embodying McKinley’s philosophy of ‘doing it right’, ‘doing it safely’ on every job site. We’re truly grateful for our employees’ commitment and contributions.
  • Faith: As a person of faith, it’s clear that God is faithful through the ups and downs of business. Operating a business is a sphere of making decisions every single day, and basing these decisions on strong principles has helped us build trust in our clients over the years. Our goal is to let integrity guide our choices – before we even think about finances.

Our Logo

Design, Implement, Maintain

It’s all in our logo: Design – Implement – Maintain. It sums up who we are and what we’ve become as a company.

Design

We work with you to find the best solutions while handling pricing, approvals, permits, and schedules.

Implement

McKinley’s focus is to deliver VALUE. What is “value”? Put it this way; it’s striking the right balance between price, quality, longevity, and how quickly things get done. We factor in all our clients’ unique needs.

Maintain

We do every job with the thought in mind that we’ll be there for the long haul. We always stand behind every job we do because our client’s satisfaction is our priority! Our clients love that we’re their go-to electrical contractor for construction and service.
