Member Spotlight
Common Ground Electric Inc.

Common Ground Electric Inc. has been proudly operating in Airdrie since 2013. They have great relationships and partnerships within the Airdrie community; working for Airdrie businesses and families, hiring local staff, and hiring local businesses for their own needs is what has lead to our success. They pride themselves on being fluent with all aspects of electrical and their strength is being able to guide their customers through the challenges of electrical when building a new home. There is no greater satisfaction than seeing the final results after fussing over the smallest details. The excitement on a client's face when seeing the finished project is something that can’t be recreated anywhere else. It’s even better when that happens in your own small city where you inevitably run into your clients at the grocery store! Airdrie had been great to Common Ground Electric. They are excited to continue their growth in Airdrie for years to come.
