Electrical Upgrade

Electricians review in Oshawa

Tim and his apprentice did a great job. They arrived on time, were very friendly and answered all my questions. They updated a few old school dimmers, installed a new outlet, upgraded my ancient exterior outlet, and updated my bathroom fan/light from one switch to two (a much bigger project then I realized). I would definitely hire them again.

Approximate cost of services:
$1,900.00

Old style dimmers may not operate correctly with modern L.E.D. fixtures .... so it's a good move to update your electrical system as needed. Thank you for the review and your kind words about Tim. Your review is much appreciated , and we look forward to helping you again when you need us.

Electrical

Electricians review in Pickering

I lost power to the west side of my house.
Jackson arrived a bit early (which was perfect). Diagnosed the problem very quickly; provided multiple options as well as cost. Absolutely no pressure tactics. Very pleasant; very professional.
I'm an older single woman who has been taken advantage of by tradesmen in the past.
I am incredibly impressed with Captain Electric; would not hesitate to contact them in the future if needed.

Light fixtures, dimmers and receptacles

Lighting review in Old Toronto

We had a hanging light fixture installed, one potlight created several dimmers installed and all our receptacles changed.

Tim and his apprentice Trey (sp?) explained the process, cost and were responsive when we asked for some things to be added or readjusted after installation. We got to ask a lot of questions, which was nice.

Overall a pretty smooth and pleasant process

Thank you Tom. We are happy to spend as much time as needed, and answer any questions as they arise. Most people don't get a chance to talk to Electricians that often, so it's good you took advantage ! Thank you for the review , and taking the time to post a review.

Electrical issue

Electricians review in Scarborough

Contacted this company for an electrical issue. Two electricians came and spent 1 hour trying to identify the problem, they were not able to identify the problem after 45 minutes. Said that we would need a further diagnostic for $800.
We had our handyman take a quick look at the issue and identified that it was a tripped GFCI outlet, he reset the outlet and problem solved.

This company is very underhanded, do not use them!

Approximate cost of services:
$300.00

Company Response

A Patient Care area falls under Section 24 of the Ontario Electrical Safety Code. A Medical facility is wired differently than a home, and Electricians know this, and would not expect a GFI to pass through to patient care area receptacles, so attention was focused on the panel circuits. The panel was checked thoroughly. We were told by a staff member that the room in question would be occupied within 5 -10 minutes. minutes, so a plan to return under a further diagnostic was presented. This was explained to the owner.

Thank you MJV. It is important to obtain permits when required, as you stated....even when it's something seemingly insignificant. We do appreciate you, and the loyalty you have shown to our company over the years. Thanks for the review.
