Remove and Replace Pull Chain Fixture and Replace electrical outlets

Captain Electric was contacted, in order to remove and replace a pull chain light fixture, and two electrical outlets. Kevin was the technician, and I would like to say how professional, knowledgeable, kind and efficient this man was. He gave outstanding service, and answered questions most effectively. This is a company you cannot go wrong with.
Thanks again to Kevin and Captain Electric !!!! Well Done !!!!!

Lights up

Yesterday morning Ryan and Jackson came over from Captain Electric and it was an excellent experience. They installed LED sconces and replaced all the necessary bulbs and switches around the house. They even repaired a couple of outdoor bulbs no charge! They were totally professional and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend them without a doubt in the future.

Having good lighting is important for safety and security of your home. Especially in the winter months when there is shorter periods of daylight. Thank you for the review.

Your choice of in-wall heater was a good one. We have a similar in-wall model at our washroom in the shop, and it certainly takes the chill away in the cold winter months. Thank you for taking the time to post this review.

Main breaker upgrade

Captain Electric helped us when our main breaker burned. It was very short notice and they looked after all aspects associated with getting the work completed including calls to authorities, permitting, new breaker etc..... Power was restored within 24hours. Unbelievable!! The service was excellent, the workmanship, neatness of work was fantastic. Referring Captain Electric to my friend's is very easy to do.

Losing power to your home can be very stressful. No heating or cooling, no lights, no power for fridge or freezer, - you have to get power restored quickly ! We understand that, and know the procedures and correct protocols with the Utility companies and the Electrical Safety Authority. We also have the equipment in stock at our shop in case the damage is severe and multiple parts of the system need to be rebuilt or replaced. It was a pleasure to help you Samy , and Thank you for the review.

Replacing pot lights, hanging fixtures, and adding new fixture boxes

We have been very pleased with the work done by Captain Electric. We have had work done by this company in two of our homes and we are always satisfied with the professional approach. Kevin always gives us a quote in advance and also provides suggestions for future improvements. Today Kevin and Jackson , as the other electricians we have had the past , completed the work quickly, politely and cleaned up after themselves beautifully.
I highly recommend Captain Electric.

Replacement of 3 outside light fixtures and installing a timer for the outside lights

Excellent service by Zac and Tim. They were able to troubleshoot when one of my new light fixtures that I had purchased was slightly damaged and they moved my mailbox down a few inches to ensure there was adequate clearance after my new fixture was installed. Great guys.

Thank you James for sharing your experience about Zac and Tim. Our people is what makes our Company great, and we know we have a bunch of keepers here. Even though they are both younger Journeyman Electricians, they have a wide range of experiences in problem solving, and we have team "huddles" regularly where we share experiences to help us in our work. Tim just joined our team last month and will soon be in his own truck. Thanks again James, and we look forward to helping you again when you need us.
