About Us

In 1968, Danny Parker began working in the electrical trade in London, England, with JB Beck Engineering, a company that designed and installed heating systems for the government. Four years later, he completed his basic electrical training as a City & Guilds certified electrician. In 1972, Danny moved his family to Ottawa, Ontario, where he worked his way through the trades to become the regional government’s supervisor for the water systems of Greater Ottawa, handling emergencies, high voltage, and all kinds of regular maintenance. During this time, he continued his electrical education — in high voltage and safety officer’s training — in Pittsburgh and Chicago, and he also founded his first company: Safehome Electrical Services. In 1993, after completing a business management program at Algonquin College, Danny once again moved his family – this time, to Victoria, British Columbia – and changed Safehome’s name to Gorge Electrical Services. Danny quickly acquired his master license to operate an electrical contracting company and purchased his first company vehicle: a burgundy Chevy van. In 2003, Danny’s son, Eddie, became a certified electrician and joined the company, making it a family partnership and becoming part of a fully licensed team that is able to handle all of your electrical needs. Known for its professionalism, attention to detail, and exceptional customer service, Gorge Electrical Services is now one of the most recognized and trusted electrical companies on Vancouver Island.
