Knob and Tube + 100 Amp Panel

I highly recommend Tim, Danny and their crew if you're in need of knob and tube removal or any electrical work.

I first reached out to KNT about four years ago when I was thinking of removing the knob and tube in my 100-year-old house. Tim came out, mapped the house's electrical system and gave me a quote. He also told me that my knob and tube was completely safe and there was no reason I had to remove it unless I was planning to sell the house or my insurance company demanded it. How honest is that? Instead of trying to scare me into getting the work done he told me the truth.

Fast forward to this year, I decided it was time to do the job. I sent Tim the old quote (which was meticulously detailed, by the way) and asked if he could update it instead of coming back for another visit. He did so no problem and we agreed to a start date.

I also needed my old 60-amp panel updated and KNT did the work and took care of all of the back-and-forth with Hydro and the inspectors. I didn't have to make a single call after arranging for the original mapping. I actually left the house for the week and Danny and his crew took over, did the job right, and cleaned up fairly well when it was all done (there's no way around living with the dust until you've mopped a few times). Danny was extremely accessibly by text during the process, often calling, and sending my pictures. One small, but nice, thing - when they had a little plaster left over after patching the many (but surprisingly small) holes in the walls they used it to fix a crumbling wall in my hallway that had nothing to do with the knob and tube job.

They even installed new light fixtures for me for no additional charge and came back two more times to do little things like installing a dimmer because one light was too bright. Again, no additional charge.

Note that the price below also includes the new panel, and all the fees that had to be paid to Hydro (as well as taxes, of course). Tim and Danny took care of that for me so it was rolled into the total job cost.

Approximate cost of services:
$18,000.00

Company Response

Thank you for the review.  You hit all my talking points when I go out to meet clients for the first time. Our detailed estimate is a little overwhelming at the beginning but once we are contracted it all makes sense.  My father designed it and it is foundation for progress reports, detailing work to be done or completed, payments, and project milestones.  We try to make it as turnkey as possible when dealing with Toronto Hydro and ESA.

I am glad you understand that we are electricians and not molly maids- I always let my clients know that there is no way around the dust.
Once again thank you and I will pass your kind words on to my team.
Tim
