Outlet/Circuit Breaking Issue

We've had an issue that was getting worse in our 12yo home, we thought it was a power bar or something connected to it but were able to rule all those out. I then suspected it was the way the original Electrician installed the outlets. I researched the best Electricians on Homestars, they are not cheap but you get what you pay for as Zac and the people at Captain Electric were Professionals thru and thru. They accommodated us by wearing a mask, they were able to come very quickly, they explained the process/set costs, what the issue was and exactly how they would fix it. It made sense to me, they replaced all the outlets connected in that series. Worked like a charm, no more circuit breaker trips! Thanks, Captain Electric!

We were happy to be of service, and solve this very annoying breaker tripping issue for you. Arc fault protection is necessary on receptacle circuits to prevent electrical fires from occurring. The connections within the circuit have to made to the highest standards, which takes more time and effort, and this is often not the case with original installation methods.Thank you Andy for the review - much appreciated.

Great Service

I had a new service panel installed, as well as a GFI in an existing circuit, and a totally new circuit run. Kevin and Jonah are 2 very professional electricians. The work was performed as scheduled, and we are very pleased by the result.

Kevin and Jonah thoroughly checked all plugs and other existing circuits, before they finished.

Great work by true professionals.

220 Volts & Surge Protection

We needed to rewire a 220 volt outlet back to 110 volts and were also interested in adding professional grade surge protection to our home to truly protect all of our appliances and electronics beyond just protective power bars. Captain Electric responded promptly and were able to book us into their schedule quickly. They were very professional, knowledgeable, capable and did a great job. Tim showed up right on time, was courteous, communicative and tackled both jobs efficiently. Both he and Dave answered all of my questions about surge protection, which was very helpful...we're very happy with the results. If you're looking for honest, straightforward pros...Captain Electric is the real deal.

Surge protection is a good investment, and a great "add on" to any Electrical system to protect from destructive over voltage scenarios. Thank you Cory, and it was pleasure working with you.

Great service, clear communication, very professional

New homeowner and wanted to get the electricity running in the garage.

Kevin came around on time and diagnosed the issue straight away. Good clear communication explaining everything along the way. Fixed up some faulty wiring in the garage, labelled my breaker box and gave me some advice on other electrical issues I should consider.

Cost includes three fire alarms replaced as they were over 20 years old.
