Replaced one main breaker and a plug

Over charged.
Toronto Hydro came and advised to replace defective main breaker for odd/part power. When called Mark at Burton Electric Inc., he didn't say need to pay service call or different from estimation.

Service call - $50
Trouble shoot and replace breaker - $100
100 amp breaker - $100
A plug - $80
Small job permit - $75

Approximate cost of services:
$457.65

Company Response

Sorry but I do not have a record of this work. If you would like to contact me directly, we can discuss your concerns and as well as where and when this job took place.
However, if we responded to a Toronto Hydro safety concern that your main breaker was failing, the minimum charge of $150.00 is quite reasonable given that this includes two hours of labour and travel time for two electricians, along with a fully equipped vehicle delivered to your home to make the repair.
The cost of the main breaker feeding your whole house ($100.00 for a two pole 100 amp breaker) is the cost of the part. This is a reasonable price for this type of part.
Unfortunately, Burton Electric Inc has no control over you having to pay for an electrical permit from the Electrical Safety Authority of Ontario (its the law) as well as the provincial and federal taxes.
If we responded, restored power to your home, made it safe, and provided additional work all for $300, you have received very good service at a very good price. We are not part of Toronto Hydro and do not provide our services for free.
This would definitely not warrant scoring us a 0. You could have easily said no to the work, as well as the additional work requested of an addition plug.
Regards,
Mark Burton.

Copper pig tailing of receptacles, switches, fixtures (house has aluminum wiring). Exterior GFCI. Basement receptacle. Fixture installation. Electrical Safety Authority (ESA): Certificate of Inspection (ACP).

House has aluminum wiring, which has to be maintained for safety reasons. Mark is experienced and very professional. He explained all the work in detail. We're very happy with the results.

Electrical panel change and surge protector installation.

I searched and finally picked Burton Electrics after a visit from Mark Burton and we are glad we did. They were prompt and stuck to the estimated price. They were clean and courteous and did all the prep work, such as arranging shutdown times with Hydro, etc. Although the originally estimated time to completion was 4 to 6 hours, the entire time we were without power was only about two hours. We would recommend Burton to anyone looking for reliable and dependable electricians and will call them again should we need other electrical work done.

Electric Car Charger Install

I contacted Mark at Burton Electrical because he was local and was on the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) site. His company installed a 40 amp breaker, ran wiring through my basement, out to my garage, installed a receptacle and mounted my electric car charger. They also arranged for an ESA inspection. Mark's recommendations were relevant and his associates were professional, knowledgable and respectful of my home. I would definitely recommend them. His paper work was detailed so that I could apply for the Ministry of Transportation 50% rebates.

upgrade from fuses to circuit breakers

Contracted Burton Electric to install panel upgrade from fuses to circuit breakers. Mark Burton took care of disconnecting/reconnecting power, all permits. Also, the area was cleaned after the installation. Would highly recommend this company for their excellent job at a reasonable price. Thank you Burton electric!

Electric Panel Upgrade

The panel upgrade from fuses to circuit breakers went without a hitch. The crew (Brian and Kyle) were right on time. Mark Burton took care of the electric company disconnecting and re-connecting the power, all permits and certificates. They fitted the new panel into the custom cabinet with no changes to the exterior and left the area spotless. A big thank you to Burton Electric.

It was great working with Mark and his team. From the first time I called until the job was complete he was very responsive, efficient and concerned to meet all of our needs for this project, including finishing all aspects of the project on a timely basis, and on a schedule that worked for us. He and his guys were very polite and respectful and did great work.
