Sorry for 2 posts today, but we ended up at Airdrie Canvas Inc and BBQVille Canada! Check this place out for all your grilling needs! The Chilly Moose brand of coolers, water bottles, wine bottles and cups have made their way to the top of my birthday list!
Have a good weekend!

It's been a while since I worked with a crane, let alone in a residential setting. Everyone worked together really well with excellent communication for this swim spa!
Thank you Airdrie and area for welcoming us for for past 4 years. Time flies when you're having fun and meeting all you great people. Happy Birthday Bullseye!
Happy Friday everyone! Stay safe and have as much fun as this week's Customer Of The Week, Luna had while I was swapping some lighting!
Happy holidays everyone! We hope everyone was happy and healthy with this unorthodox Christmas.
We got ourselves a new Christmas thermal imaging system.
This can allow our clients to have a thermal imaging report which may result in insurance savings, as well as tracking anomalies, in commercial and residential applications.
We tried it out today for a very happy client (not the dog).
Have a safe and happy new year!

Hey everyone. We hope everyone is ready for the holidays.
Just a quick safety tip with everyone being home so often. Be sure to check your smoke and CO detectors. They should have a "replace by" date, and that should be followed, and be sure to test them.
Yesterday we were on a site where a carbon monoxide leak happened. While no one was hurt, thankfully the interconnected smoke/CO detectors let everyone in the house know. Thanks to the Airdrie Fire Department and the gas provider for the quick response.
Have a safe and happy holidays!
This Customer Of The Week is Dakota! Although he was mostly playing foreman and making sure L was checking his connections. Best foreman I've ever had.
I'm not sure the last time you saw a 10 week old German Sheppard, but this is our Customer Of The Week Laika. She wears a bow tie, and can't run very fast on laminate floor without falling over!
Hey everyone, sorry about the absence, we've been very busy!
Are you looking for a Christmas gift for someone who has everything? We just did a little maintenance at Airdrie Canvas Inc, and they have a bunch of meat smokers and everything you need that goes with them!
The display made me hungry just imagining eating what comes out of them! Check them out!

Did you know it's illegal to bury an electrical box? This top box was buried behind some drywall, and it took a while to find.
There's a couple rules on this, that we spend years studying. If you're thinking of putting a box behind drywall, give us a call! We can come up with different plans that will save some headache later on down the road.
Hiding a box can lead to dangerous situations since they aren't visible. It will also help keep labour costs down, as well as drywall repair costs. Luckily I found this one on the first try.
Have a spooky weekend!

The most recent customer of the week is Buddy! He never goes anywhere without his bunny!
Hey everyone.
Just another "make sure you hire a professional" post. There's too much wrong with this to list, but this illegal splice creates a hazard to persons and property. Had we reached into the ceiling without looking, the exposed copper not only could have shocked one of us, but there is a chance it could electrify this copper water pipe.
This was done by someone with 0 training, and could have resulted in something much worse than flickering lights.
10 hour Friday's don't feel so bad when you get to look at a custom garage like this at the end.
Have a great weekend everyone!
I know we haven't done it in a while, but this Customer Of The Week is Luna! While we were doing this barn wedding venue, she was reminding us that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. She did this by constantly asking us to throw her toy for her to fetch. Once we told her we had to get this done for a wedding next weekend, she started bringing us our materials.
If Luna is reading this, I want to reiterate I wanted nothing more than to throw your toy for you all day.
Have a great, safe long weekend everyone!

Are you thinking of buying a hot tub? Make sure to have a master electrician come out to do a house calculation beforehand to avoid hidden service upgrading costs!
Did you know we have 2 master electricians on staff?
A big thank you to our friend Jarret who did a fantastic job on some new promotional shots for the website and other online work. He did a great job working with our lack of ideas, and one stubborn old beagle to try and make some shots work. We couldnt be happier with the results!
If you have any photography needs make sure to check out his instagram @jmahauck www.instagram.com/jmahauck/?hl=en
Thanks T.
This Customer Of The Week is one we've never seen before! Meet Turtle Haggard, as our pun savvy apprentice named him.
We've had a few extremely busy weeks, so we had a very important director's meeting in a nice quiet spot. Luckily the hail missed us, even if the rain hit us pretty hard. We hope everyone is safe after that doozie!
Hey everyone!
We want to thank everyone for the continued support! We are getting very close to our 500th invoice, so we would like to extend a thanks! We won't tell you where we're at, but who ever is our 500th is going to get 15% off their entire bill!
Do you have years worth of plastic bags saved up like we did? Did you know the Airdrie Food Bank could use them? They just have to be folded, clean, and with no holes. We ended up filling 2 boxes and a reusable bag to take for donation today!

This weeks Customers Of Week are Jax and Tinkerbelle! Jax is a 12 week old chihuahua who's hobbies include bugging his older sister, chewing strings, and looking less than graceful going down stairs, but he is trying very hard.
Hey everyone. We hope everyone is staying healthy and occupied.
Just a little reminder, even though you may be getting bored, we ask that if you are taking on any big home improvement projects, please ensure they are being carried out by professionals. Our Electrical code book is almost 1,000 pages, and we have to familiarize ourselves with all of it. Even something as small as putting your wire the wrong way on a screw terminal, or not tightening properly can have consequences. We spend months in school learning technical training, as well as countless hours in the field putting that training to use, and always bettering our practices and procedures.
These pictures are from a basement, even though I can't say 100%, appears to have been done by someone unqualified. There are definitely a few telltale signs we can see pretty well instantly. This could have turned out much worse than paying for a few new plugs and some labour.
Stay safe everyone.

Hey everyone, we hope you are staying healthy and happy during this isolation.
This post is to let you know, we are still up and going. We respect your isolation, but if you should need us, we are taking precautions, such as hand sanitizing before we walk in your door, avoiding handshakes, and maintaining the recommended distance from customers.
If you have any questions regarding permitting or inspections, feel free to contact your municipality.
Stay safe!
Hey everyone,
I seemed to have caused a little confusion with my wording on yesterday's post. City Of Airdrie Building Inspections are not closed, they are still up and running. Inspectors simply won't be inspecting occupied homes for the time being.
For more information, check out www.airdrie.ca/index.cfm?serviceID=6.
City of Airdrie - Building Inspections
www.airdrie.ca
Building Inspections provides quality inspection services to permit applicants, owners and occupants of new and renovated buildings to ensure they are constructed to meet or exceed the Alberta Building Code and related regulations.One of the more underrated aspects of our job, we feel, is making it easier on the next person who would be working on the system, whether it be us going back or someone else. For example, when we pulled this internet cable through a 225' pipe run, it costs almost nothing to pull a string as well. This saves trying to push a fish tape through a pipe that's no longer empty.
Our goal is to serve Airdrie and area with the least amount of headache possible. Feel free to give us a call for a free estimate for your next project!
This is a very special Customer Of The Week. While none of us are really cat people, this little puffball tried their best to learn and help us run a new dishwasher and microwave circuit. While the lack of thumbs made it tough to pass tools or materials, they persisted.
Feel free to give us a call for a free estimate!
Murphy here and I go way back, and he only gets better with age. That's what makes him this weeks Customer Of The Week.
I know we've missed a few weeks but we are booking solid! We still aim to serve Airdrie and area the best we can, so feel free to call for your free estimate!
Do you miss summer like we do? Did you know we install electrical for not only gas heat, but we also have electric heat options? Electric heat is a great option for small spaces like a garage, so feel free to give us a call for a free estimate.
Happy 2020 everyone! We wish everyone a happy and safe new year!
We're very excited to be entering our 4th year serving Airdrie and area.
Do you have a project you're looking to get started, like a basement or garage? Feel free to give us a call for a free estimate.
We hope everyone had wonderful holidays!
With a big holiday like New Years coming up, we want everyone to be safe. Please plan ahead, take a cab, an Uber or have a designated driver.
Have a happy and safe new years, from the whole Bullseye Team.
We sure do love showing off our LED work. This is some nice upper and under cabinet lighting that we do for an excellent interior designer friend of ours.
Feel free to give us a call for a free estimate!
Today's Customer Of The Week is Angel, and boy is she an angel. So soft and fluffy and happy to be around people.
Give us a call, and your dog could be featured!
This week's customer of the week is a 2 for 1 deal! This is Moose and Marvin!
Very handsome and well behaved boys while we did some work for their mom and dad!
As always let us know if you need a hand with anything electrical! We offer 24 hour emergency service and free estimates!
Drive Safe!

We love showing off how LED can really change the feeling of an area. Here is a garage where 3 incandescent were replaced by 4' LED wrap lights. Much brighter, no changing bulbs or ballasts, and the ones we trust are rated to be on for 5 years straight.
Feel free to give us a call for your LED retrofit projects!
This weeks Customers Of The Week were so excited to see us, and so friendly, we had to give the title away at the beginning of the week. Tia and Twinkle are best friends and were very good dogs. What a pleasure to work with their mom today.
This weeks customer of the week is a two-fer! Meet Jake and Cujo, a couple of sweethearts who were on their best behavior while I looked at their garage circuit. Very good dogs and they know it.
This weeks customer of the week is Belle, and she wanted to make sure we got all her good sides. I told her she didn't have a bad side.
Feel free to give us a call for all your electrical needs!
The beauty of a small crew is everyone gets to learn from others experience.
Taggart and Luke are both fans of things with engines, so when we got to rent a trencher for a 500' trench, they were over the moon, and fighting over who got to run it.
I'm not much of an engine guy, so running this machinery wasn't overly for me. But I was very impressed with how much better a brand new pickax works over one that has many, many miles on it.
Have an excellent weekend everyone!
-C.
It's everyone's favorite time of the week! It's our customer of the week! Everyone meet Squirt! He loves a good sunspot, and some scratches.
Thanks again to everyone for the support!
As always if you have any projects coming up give us a call 403-917-0177 and we can come give a FREE estimate!
This week's Customer of the Week is Yeti! Although he looks like an abominable snowman, he is one of the sweetest dogs, who just loves being pet.
We've decided to try a new segment called Customer Of The Week. This week is Lilly. She was very good customer, although a little loud. She reminds me of my dog, and was very good about making me feel at home in her soon-to-be home.
Thanks Lilly!
We are pleased to announce today is our apprentice Luke's first year anniversary with Bullseye!
His hard work and thirst for knowledge has made him a valuable asset for us.
Hey everyone!
It doesn't look like this stretch of cold is here to stay, but it gives you an idea what we're in for!
Make sure your vehicle is winter ready! A small emergency kit could be very handy in a pinch. Things like candles, flashlights, granola bars, blankets and warm clothes are much better to have and not need!
Don't forget to repack your snow brush!
