Hello I am Albin Wandeler, owner of The Brighthouse Electric Company Ltd. I have been in the Electrical Trade now for over 45 years. I come from a very strong background in Residential type wiring. But I am also well versed in Commercial type wiring. I was very young when I first started the Trade, 14 1/2 years old, and my Trade has brought me to many new places and experiences. I was very keen to learn the Trade, and I even remember the day I knew I was going to be an Electrician. My Father was cutting some lumber in the backyard, with a very old / loose extension cord. So when the Skill saw would not start, he was upset because he thought he blew the fuse again in the house, up about 100 ft. So I said no Dad, I think it's right here in the loose cord end. I Took a nail and pried open the male cord ends, so they could make contact with the loose female cord end, and it worked, I think I was about 11 years old. Our Family came from Switzerland, and I myself was born there. We have lived there, and I first started the Trade there. It was a time when things where not so rushed, the Journeyman Electrician took time and showed you how to do things. Later we ended back in Canada, and I had very good Tutors to further my advancement in the Trade. I have worked for countless different company's , gaining any experience and tips, that anybody with the time and heart, to show me. I eventually became a Journeyman Electrician myself, and that was a great Day! I was very ambitious, becoming certified when I was 24 years old, and started working for myself later that same year. NOW THIS IS WHERE YOU REALLY GET TO LEARN! Learning how to run jobs, how to deal with people, estimating correctly, etc, is the Contracting part of the Trade, and that can only come with experience, dedication, and persistence. FAST FORWARD TO: The Brighthouse Electric Company, started in 1989 in Vancouver B.C.
