ince 1982, A. Circuit Electric Ltd. has continued their legacy of providing exceptional electrical services in the Edmonton region. “Our high-quality standards and our track record of completing construction projects and service calls on time and on budget have earned us an enviable reputation,” says Victor Ciezki, master electrician and co-founder at A. Circuit Electric. “We take pride in our work and these qualities have kept us in business for 40 years.”

In their early days, Victor and his wife Wanda, also co-founder of the business, ran the company out of their home. At that time the company was mainly focused on residential work with some smaller commercial projects. Their growth was steady.

“The company maintained five-to-ten electricians in the early years, focusing on smaller projects and working for a handful of home builders,” recalls Victor and Wanda’s son Greg Ciezki, certified master electrician (CME) and project manager of business development at A. Circuit Electric. “We employed a lot of family members back in the early days. So, it literally was a familyrun company for many years.”

Greg worked at A. Circuit Electric for many summers throughout his youth, officially joining the company in 1994. Through his apprenticeship, he completed his Journeyman electrician certification in 1998. In 2006, he successfully followed in his father’s footprints, becoming a master electrician.

We love to celebrate our clients!

“In 2003 we slowly transitioned out of residential and moved toward the commercial sector,” says Greg. “Like many companies that start in a garage, we outgrew our space, secured and relocated to our new facility. This allowed us to continue growing. This expansion helped us to secure our first major contract with Dollarama Stores throughout Alberta. Over the next 10 years, we successfully completed over 70 new locations” With continued business growth, more help in the office was needed. In July of 2008, A. Circuit Electric promoted Steven Marques from the field to their vital office staff in the role of estimating and project management. This kicked off their expansion into the larger commercial market.

Steve’s presence brought a positive attitude, good work ethic and a great motivation to learn for those around him. And, it came with a true appreciation for the business as Steve had started

With that, in 2015 Steve joined Victor and Greg as a master electrician.

Steve discusses one of A. Circuit’s successes in managing a project for Amazon, saying, “The Amazon non-sort facility in Nisku is a 1,000,000 sq. ft. warehouse and our largest contract to date.

Our work was on a very tight schedule with months lost to bad weather,” says Steve. “We had to hire many electricians while working double and triple shifts to get this project completed successfully.

While having many challenges with COVID-19, I am especially proud of the way our team stayed dedicated and safely came together to make this such a successful project.”

Part of what makes A. Circuit Electric a great place to work is our commitment to putting on so many social events, including our annual golf tournament, poker tournaments, barbeques, shinny hockey, bowling and our yearly Christmas party. These events are a great way to see all of our staff away from the job sites and for everyone to have a chance to relax and unwind.”

According to Steve, the Amazon project award tops his list of memorable moments. There was a sense of pride and accomplishment in not just successfully completing the project onschedule, but also the entire team’s dedication and desire to exceed customer expectations.

Wanda and Vic also value the many friendships within the construction industry their team have cemented over the years. In fact, community appreciation and giving back are top of mind for them. “When not on the jobsite you’ll find our team volunteering and donating to causes like the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation, the Canadian Cancer Society, community hockey and junior soccer teams,” says Wanda.
