30A 240V line addition to basement.

Came on time, and the job was done perfectly. Super friendly service, and even had time to throw in a few extra outlets. I'd recommend these guys to anyone looking for electrical work.

Electrical repairs

We recently had a partial circuit failure in our home and, when we found that the electrician we had used in the past was no longer in business, I called Richard Salter Electric. The service was prompt (next morning) and Steve Salter could not have been nicer. He discovered the problem within minutes and corrected it quickly and professionally. We were very satisfied with the service and, although we hope not to need an electrician again for a long time, we will certainly call them if the need arises.

Electrical Work

I have called upon the services of Mr. Steve Salter several times. Today I called to book an appointment with Mr. Salter and he called back immediately, told me he was just a couple of blocks away and appeared at my door minutes later. He is always able to diagnose and fix the problem immediately. He arrives exactly when he says he will, is very fast and competent and leaves the work site clean and neat. In addition, he is a very friendly and affable gentleman and takes great pride in his work and his family business. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Salter for any job; big or small. My only regret is that I did not meet him years ago.

Spa connection

Salter Electric is absolutely amazing. The owner showed up with one employee, the service was Great, professionnal, job done quickly and efficiently. Steve even went beyond the scope of the job and checked another faulty connection we had. He wanted to know if the previous job was done correctly and up to code. He figured out the issue in no time and everything is working perfectly. I would use them again.

Fixing a bad circuit in the house

Salter Electric returned my call promptly and was at my house the next morning. One of the electrical circuits in my house went dead and all the breakers in the panel were on.

Steve methodically debugged the issue and tracked it down to a bad GFCI outlet. The outlet was replaced and everything was functional again.

Steve was courteous and competent. I would call Salter Electric again in the future for further electrician needs.

Electric outlets for tv wall mounts

We have two televisions that we want to mount on the walls in our home. Steve was able to book us an appointment within a week's time. Punctual, friendly service and a job well done! Will be contacting the company again the next time we need electrical work done.

Lighting Replacement

I'm very pleased with the service provided by Salter Electric to replace 3 lighting fixtures. Work included removing wall-mount light fixtures & box and installing new ceiling-mount light fixtures in two bedrooms. They also removed my existing dining room fixture, moved the box so it was properly centered over the dining room table, and installed the new fixture (including adding a dimmer switch).

Steve was very informative and helpful in providing the quote, and Ryan and Pat who did the work were very friendly, clean, and professional. I was very comfortable having them in my house, and they did excellent work (including clean up).

I highly recommend Salter Electric & they will be my 'go to' contractor for any future electrical work.

Replaced breakers

From the moment my call was returned within 5 minutes of leaving a message, I was impressed! Within 3 hours there was an electrician at my door. He diagnosed and repaired the problem within an hour and the power was restored.
When I inadvertently blew the breakers that very same night :( the owner was available via text and phone. When I couldn't figure things out, he came back the next day at no extra charge.
In this day and age, customer service is sadly lacking in many (most?) organizations. I can wholeheartedly endorse Salter as an exceptional company! Thank you!

Electrical for a Basement Family Room with Bathroom

Our thanks go out to Salter Electric for the electrical installation for our totally renovated basement family room and bathroom. Salter Electric delivered exactly what we were hoping for; even exceeding our expectations. As sub-contractors, Steve and his assistant were professional, courteous and attentive to us as the homeowners. They took care of the necessary permit and the work passed inspection without a hitch. Based on our experience, Salter Electric will be our 'go to' for any electrical service in the future.
