    Electrical repairs

    I needed an electrician to fix an accumulation of small problems around my house and garage. Captain Electric provided a prompt response and a solution to all my problems. I was very impressed with the professionalism of their service.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you Tony. It is very common for older homes to have "an accumulation" of small problems. It is good that you were able to recognize the need for some professional help with them. We were very pleased to have been able to help you, and look forward to serving you again when you need us .........bw

    firea alarm replacement

    I have been a customer of Captain Electric for about 10 years and 2 homes. Whenever I call them I can count on prompt and courteous service, Recently my hard-wired fire alarms started chirping; I placed a service call at about noon and the fire alarms were replaced same afternoon. A couple of days later one of them was replaced as it was defective. I highly recommend the team at Captain Electric; they are a pleasure to work with!

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you "cotonluv." Smoke Alarms can be irritating when they malfunction. Yours were in need of replacement due to age. We replaced them with new Combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarms, and they all tested correctly. But - Sometimes even newly installed products can fail after a few days, (which happened in your case), and of course we needed to replace this for you as quickly as possible. Thank you for posting your review, and we will see you again, next time .......... bw

    Condo Emergency

    The washing machine mysteriously stopped working, so I went to reset the circuit-breaker, then POOF! I lost all power in my Markham Condo unit. My building superintendent did what he could to restore power, but in the end wasn't fully successful. Not wanting the food in my freezer to go bad and getting my life back to normal asap, I looked up Captain Electric in the YellowPages! A quick google search confirmed that I made the correct choice (based on HomeStars reviews). Dianne was able to get me a same day appointment with electrician Dan. Let me tell you... DAN is awesome! He had to endure working in a cramped environment and dealing with the Condo Management's bureaucracy to make sure I got the proper diagnostic and fix! He also let me know what he was doing every step of the way. Thanks to Dan I'm up and running again!

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you Gary. I am happy to hear you were pleased with our service. We are very busy this time of year, but always try to accommodate emergencies such as yours as best as we can.

    Electrical service

    Hired Captain Electric for surge protection installation in our home and very much satisfied with their service. Seriously, their people are awesome! I tried calling several other electricians but only these guys answered the phone in time. In fact, they came the same day I called them and did a quick and outstanding service. They were very knowledgable and responsive too. I would definitely call these guys up again for any electrical need in future.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks Tim. We do try to answer all calls live. We do have full-time office staff, our client care reps, that are there to help answer questions and schedule appointments. We are glad that we were able to help you promptly, and look forward to being of service again, when you need us..........bw

    kitchen pot lights

    Dan and his team were so professional. Went above an beyond to make us happy. Everything was left in immaculate order. All work was A+. Would definitely recommend this company to family and friends and would use them exclusively for any other work. Great job everyone!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Linda, thank you for your review. It is important to us that our clients are very happy with the work that we do for them. Leaving a home in good condition when we are finished is part of the experience. When a job is completed, other than your new pot lights and switches - there should be no evidence that any work was done. All debris should be thoroughly cleaned up and removed from site. Thank you for choosing Captain Electric, and we hope to see you again whenever you need electrical service........... bw

    200 Amp Service/Panel Upgrade

    Sorry for the delay on this - much to do in setting up our new home! Following is my review of the work completed by Captain Electric - Enrico, Dave, and Kevin in particular: From the time Enrico came to assess the cost of the panel upgrade as well as factor in several “small” upgrades, we knew we had chosen the best. First impressions are important and Enrico represented the Company admirably, giving us full assurance the work would be completed to our utmost satisfaction. Indeed, it was! Once the work commenced we simply relaxed knowing that Dave, Kevin and Enrico were in control. Courtesy and consideration were both evident during the whole time they were here. Their workmanship was superb and their ensuring the work areas were left clean and tidy were indicative of the extra care they took. All projects were completed safely and expeditiously, including the tricky fishing of wires through difficult areas in the house! We recommend Captain Electric without reservation to anyone considering having any electrical work carried out. They really are the best! Thanks again, guys!

    Answer from pro:

    Ian, thank you for posting this review, we appreciate your comments. Well planned installations benefit both the homeowner and the company, and this is why having the correct manpower to complete a project in a timely manner is very important to us. We are happy to hear that you are pleased with our workmanship and clean-up. We look forward to seeing you again next time....... bw

    Installation of light fixtures.

    Captain Electric certainly lived up to their advertisement! First, the woman I spoke with on the phone was very personable and knowledgeable. When David came to my home in July of 2014 he was friendly, honest, patient and professional. He took time to explain what he was doing and was very up front about pricing. He did not high pressure me to have work done that I cannot afford right now. He even cleaned up any stray dust/ wire cuttings. Thank you Dave and Captain Electric! I will be hiring you again next year. Sincerely Sheila of Courtice, Ontario.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Sheila, thank you for commenting on Homestars. We always strive to explain fully the work that we are doing, and provide options. An informed client can make the right decision .We do not believe in high pressure sales tactics, they are not a good business practice, for any business. Thank you for noticing Dave's thorough clean-up. We look forward to working with you again when you need us .......bw

    installation of GFCI receptacle

    Kevin was very professional & courteous. Explained all their policies/procedures, showed me their certificates. Was able to fix the problem right then & there. Captain Electric stayed in touch with me regarding timing of appointment, as first job took longer than expected. They didn't leave me wondering where the technician was. Was very please with the pricing, less than I was anticipating. I won't hesitate to recommend Captain Electric to family & friends. Thanks for a job well done, small as it may have been.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you Lisa. We appreciate your kind words for Kevin. We also appreciate your patience on the day of your appointment, because we had to do some rescheduling of jobs that day, and were a little later than your original appointment time frame. This happens occasionally in the service business. When another job takes longer than anticipated, it is very important that we let the next client know as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding and making a minor adjustment in your schedule. We look forward to being of service again the next time you need anything electrical in your home. Thank you for choosing Captain Electric .......bw
