Bathroom Exhaust Fans & More

I was relieved to call and have the office staff answer immediately. Often with other businesses, you just get a voicemail. An appointment was booked within 3 business days (as it wasn't urgent). The electrician came out to assess what was needed, explained to me what was involved and since a full day was necessary, the appointment was made for the end of the week. The job was done efficiently and I was grateful to know that I had the best , quiet exhaust fans in my bathrooms. Another household member had neglected to tell me their bathroom exhaust fan hadn't worked for a year. I'm glad to get rid of the excess moisture and I'm happy that the fans automatically come on as needed.

Electrical work

Our living room dimmer light switch ceased to function. I once more phoned Expert Electric. The electrician arrived the following day and replaced the old switch for a new one. Having finished his job, he completed an electrical survey of our place, including our smoke detector fixture. Made some observations and recommendations. Very thorough and satisfactory service. He even wore a plastic shoe cover to protect our flooring. If this is not good service, I do not know what is.

Receptacle and thermostat replacements

Was quoted for $440 worth of work. The guy started and half way through said he got a text and had to go to another site. Charged me for half and left. What kind of business is this? Called in and spoke to a "manager" who passed the blame on the electrician and said there was nothing he could do except book another time. Had I known he did not have the time to do the full job I would have gone with another company to do the entire job instead of now having to book and spend another day to finish.

Electric Cooktop Wired Up

If you ever need an electric cooktop wired up, I would recommend you call Expert Electric. They provided me with courtesy; the installation was very professional; and the service was prompt; for example I called them at 10:30, the electrician arrived at 12:30 and finished at 1:30, great job.

timer switch installation

Contact with us was made in the alloted time frame and the timer switch installation/programmimg proceeded smoothly and efficiently. As a courtesy the rep checked the panel box to ensure that all connections were tight.

Home Insurance Inspection and Repairs

We had an insurance required inspection done and then the repairs made at a later date. The inspection was very thorough and well explained in simple terms which made it easy to understand. The total spent for both was $1800.00 in two visits. Mike was very prompt and showed up when promised both times. He was professional, friendly and respectful of our home, even wearing the blue booties. Thank you Expert Electric, we will not hesitate to call you for our next project.

Awesome but expensive

I chose Expert based on their high rating on Homestars. I was not disappointed - the company responded right away and sent an electician on the day I requested. A small job (swapping out a bedroom light fixture and fixing a ceiling pocket light in the kitchen) took 2 hours.

Although I was very impressed with the service and the work done, it was expensive. In fact, I told the electrician that his 2 hours of work cost me more than I earn in a day... On the positive side, the electrician gave me a free estimate and I chose to have the work done despite the cost.

We feel ripped off

We hired Expert Electric to install an 240 V outlet in our garage. They came to look at the site and quoted us a price of $2000. We were surprised, because there was already a 240 line available in the circuit box. The electrician literally just had to drop a line about a meter and install the outlet. The electrician assured my husband it was more complicated than that and was a job that would require 6 hours. We pointed out that there was no plumbing or HVAC in the wall. Still we were told it would take 6 hours.
At this point we should have called another company for a quote, but Sam was very insistant/reassuring.
Suffice it to say, it actually took less than 3 hours the following day to complete the job. There was no adjustment to the bill. Sam claimed he had just been "super efficient."
When we contacted the company via email, we got a form letter back. Clearly, this is not the first time they have had this situation.
We followed up by phone and the owner was extremely rude and belligerent.
I would strongly recommend against hiring this company. We never will again.
