Upfit smarter to scale faster. The owner of CSK Electric reflects on how Sterling supported their growth with work van upfits customized for efficiency.
If you’re a business owner in the trades, the right van upfit can save time, reduce stress, and help you scale.
In just four years, CSK Electric has grown from a solo operation into a thriving electrical company serving Vancouver’s Lower Mainland. Their team specializes in residential and commercial electrical work, including new construction, full renovations, routine maintenance, service upgrades, EV charger installations, and lighting solutions. These are some of their projects.
As CSK Electric grew, so did the demands on the team—and their vehicles. Chase Swanson, owner of CSK, turned to Sterling Fleet Outfitters so his vans could keep pace with his growing business and reflect the professionalism of his work.
We caught up with Chase to hear about his journey growing the company. Below are some takeaways.
Efficient layout = more jobs and less stress
One of the main things Chase highlights is how the layout reduces day-to-day stress.
“You’re not scrambling to find a tool or wasting time packing things up in the morning”
Everything has a place in this setup – from tools to parts – so the crew can focus on the work instead of the cleanup. The result is more jobs completed in a day.
A professional appearance builds trust
Chase can attest to how a clean, professional layout makes a lasting impression. It’s part of how CSK communicates quality to clients. Sterling’s high-quality builds are a reflection of the quality of work our clients deliver.
Planning ahead for growth
Although CSK is relatively young, Chase has long-term growth in mind. For him, investing in his fleet is betting on scalability. By improving fleet efficiency early on, he’s setting up for bigger projects and a growing team.
In the video below, Chase walks through his latest Ford Transit upfit and shares his journey with CSK Electric. Like many growing trades businesses, Chase reached a point where DIY solutions weren’t cutting it. With Sterling’s fleet solutions, he’s taken their efficiency, team morale, and client experience to the next level.
