Electrical inspection

I called Captain Electric because of lights on the landing and in my daughter's bedroom that did not turn on, as well as some electric plugs that didn't work. I'm not handy with electrical wiring which I suspected might be the case, I decided to look for a professional electrican and found Captain Electric in Home Stars as they had the most number of highest reviews.

So I set an appointment with Captain Electric, and two electricians arrived who were most professional, gave me a lot of usefulinformation, even wore booties inside my home, quickly resolved my electrical issue - easily done. In short, Captain Electric will be my go-to company for my electrical needs in my home. I am most pleased with their pricing, professionalism and integrity of service, and I highly recommend them.

Light Fixture Installation

Called Captain Electric because I needed some light fixtures installed in my apartment. They were able to set up an appointment for me the next morning. Enrico and his apprentice Kevin showed up for the appointment in a timely manner and did an excellent job installing the fixtures. Enrico made sure I understood what they were doing, and how they priced the service. Both Enrico and Kevin were very pleasant to deal with and acted in a professional manner. I was satisfied with the work and would definitely use Captain Electric again, and would recommend their services to others.

garage rewired various smaller jobs

Dan from Captain Electric was here for 2 visits and we are thrilled with the service we received. We had 3 outlets rewired, a chandelier hung and our entire garage rewired. Oh,and he also replaced our doorbell. Dan was courteous, efficient and very knowledgeble. The technicians are very respectful of your home..........wearing booties and cleaning up. Diane the co-ordinator is also very helpful and informative. Do not hesitate to call Captain Electric for all electrical problems. I am so happy to have found a company to trust for future needs and I will absolutely use them again.

Installed Surge Proctector on Panel and Rewired Light

We had Captain Electric come in to wire our Pool Heater and rewire a light. Turns out the pool heater did not need to wired. Sorry Dan. He did rewire the light and installed a surege protector on one of our electrical panels. He also said he would get back to us about a different surger protector for one of our other panels. Dan was very professional from start to finish. He noticed that while installing the surger protect the panel was recently updated but not the ground for the house. He suggested we move the meter outside and update the ground. This became the standard in the '80s. The service was excellent and I would highly recommend this company to others.

Aluminum Rejuvenation & Fuse Panel to Circuit Breaker Upgrade

For insurance company reasons an aluminum rejuvenation was required to maintain our coverage. We looked on Homestars for our area and Captain Electric looked to be a great company based on the feedback. We made an appointment and Brian & Kevin came to the house. From minute one we had a good feeling about them and nothing through the process changed that feeling. They are very professional and friendly and do absolutely brilliant work. We decided to get our fuse panel swapped out while we were at it. Before I could ask about surge protection at the panel Brian brought it up. The work was to occur over two days and that is exactly what happened. Brian, Kevin, Dave & the rest of the crew (who we didn’t get to meet) were absolutely great to work with and I couldn’t recommend them enough. Every circuit was mapped out on the new panel and they even reconfigured the pot lights in our basement (split the lights differently on the two switches) at no extra charge. At the end of the job you wouldn’t even have known they’d been there and the place looked like it did (only with better electrical) before they arrived.

Thanks Brian, Kevin & Dave. You’ve gained customers for life.

Sincerely,

Harold & Cari Moore

Thank you very much Hal for taking the time to write this review. It was our pleasure to be of service for you. Insurance companies do not like the risk associated with Aluminum wiring and Fuse panels. The work we completed, brings your home into compliance with the Ontario Electrical Safety Code and provides greater peace of mind. We look forward to seeing you again in the future, when you have the need for any further electrical work.
Thank you for choosing Captain Electric.
