About Install Electrical

Install Electrical work alongside builders, architects, and designers to create lighting and electrical experiences that elevate projects, balancing form, function, and lifestyle.

With 20+ years in the industry and a background in architectural consulting for high-end residential and specialty projects, Director Travis Gerbes brings a rare mix of technical expertise, creative vision, and builder-focused practicality to every job.

Too often, projects are handed over to electricians who know how to wire from A to B, but lack the deeper understanding of the architectural intent, using ‘off-the-shelf’ fixtures that dull the entire projects potential – leaving a gap between the design vision and onsite execution. Not us. From initial consultation, through to final handover, we act as an extension of your team, offering clear communication, expert guidance, and solutions that elevate every space.

"We are a Design Studio that have had the pleasure of engaging Travis as our dedicated lighting
and electrical consultant on several projects. His ability to bridge the gap between our design
and construction teams has been truly remarkable. Not only could we access him and his teams technical expertise and have our challenges answered promptly, but our construction team who had never experienced this level of service before was thoroughly impressed. Travis, in particular, became an indispensable asset on site, effectively coordinating with service contractors and suppliers with finesse. His exceptional performance plays a key role in satisfying our clients, and as a result, we have continued to rely on his expertise for multiple projects."

"I was introduced to Travis by my partner when I became a family member of a development company, and I still remind him about the rotary drill he lent me before we even met face-to-face! I have worked with Travis since 2007 and can confidently say he is the best trade contractor I have. His expertise, attention to detail, and reliability are second to none. Over the past 18 years, he has been our trusted electrician for all our projects, including both of our private luxury home builds, which he handled flawlessly. Travis has always been someone I continue to trust with do-and-charge on our projects. His work on our multi developments range from 4 to 10 townhouses has been outstanding and his ability to source products including supplier agreements which reflects his dedication to delivering the best results. What sets Travis apart is his commitment, ensuring the highest standard of work every time. His commitment to excellence and ability to deliver on time makes him an invaluable asset to any build. He’s not only a trusted professional but has also become a great friend over the years. I cannot recommend him highly enough!"
