New lighting fixtures and dimmers that were installed look amazing and I will definitely be using Captain Electric again in the future to complete all and any other projects i'm needing completed. Thanks again !!

We always get a lot of FAN installation requests this time of year. We were happy to be of service, and we know that you will enjoy a nice hot shower - without the condensation issues that you were having before. Thank you for taking the time to write this review.

Excellent Service & Completion

Our top floor condo suite needed the 25 year old dual bathroom (and dryer) fan replaced.
Quick on-line 'chat' at 11:30pm lead to a courteous phone call from Diane the next morning.
Very professional electrician (Kevin) and his apprentice (Jackson) quickly found what was needed; explained pricing (and other items that we might be interested in); and went to find the exact replacement motor.
Next day it was installed on time, with no mess.
*We also decided to have a 'power surge' installed on our breaker unit - wise investment.* (That is NOT included in the price given above.)

It is very important to have a good working fan to extract the moist air that can condense on hard surfaces. We were happy to get this done for you before the colder winter days become more common this time of year. Thank you Maureen for taking some time out to write this review, - we do appreciate it.

Electrical company that's Professional and Classy!

I have used Captain Electric on three occasions since 2011. Each and every time they were punctual. Their workmanship is impeccable and precise. Before they commit to performaning a task they think it through. Saving time and you money! Each.electrical job is done to code. This helps with your house insurance rates.
Zac, the foreman is always on point. His crew work in tantem together well. Zac also installed my bathroom fan perfectly. Kevin installed my outlets and smoke alarms exactly placed where I wanted. Dave, who is also an engineer, was amazing at fixing my broken conduit in the garage. He offered me advice on a backup generator as an added service. Last but not least. Jackson their apprentice was very deligent when doing his assigned tasks. I would be remissed if I didn't mention their office staff. They provided numerous updates and confirmation of the appointments in a timely manner. Kudos to Diane. Please Captain Electric mention their other staff members whom I forgot.
When I get my Generator. Captain Electric will be getting the call!

As a landlord the process was very seamless. I will use them again

I own a property out East and I needed someone to take care of an electrical outlet that would short circuit when it was plugged in. I called Captain Electric based on a recommendation from a friend.

The whole entire process was very straight forward and I didn't need to take time off to deal with it. I prepaid for the service call and they came in the following morning to fix the issue. They called me afterwards to give me an update on the issue.

Overall, I was very satisfied.

Bathroom Fan Vent Repair

Zac and Nate repaired my main bathroom's ceiling fan vent in the attic. The vent had been improperly installed and was not connected to the roof properly. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly and got the job done within an hour. I highly recommend this company, especially Zac and Nate. Thanks guys!

We appreciate that you took the time to comment today. A properly functioning exhaust fan is so important, especially when showering.
Zac and Nate install a ton of these, in houses that were never built with an exhaust fan. We were happy to fix your venting for you, and look forward to helping you with your next repair. Thanks for the review.

200 Amp Service & Misc Wiring

Was able to get them out for a quote in under 48 hours. They stuck to that quote on the install day and arranged everything. Their team was very professional and were never slacking off or padding the bill. 3 crews arrived initially and they walked me through all of the work that they did when they left.

Highly recommended. You may get cheaper elsewhere, but with electrical, you really do get what you pay for!

We strive to respond as quickly as possible, but - sometimes this can be a challenge in the busy summer months.
Once we provide a quote , we stick to that investment so that there are no surprises for you.
Thank you for trusting your installation to us, and enjoy your new Electrical Service and Panel.

Home EV charging station plus 200 A service upgrade

Zac gave me a detailed estimate. ON day of installation Zac / Dan / KW + 3 techs did a fantastic job. They upgraded my home service from 100 A to 200 A, and installed a beautiful Canadian charging station in my garage for my awesome 100% electric Chevy Bolt which has 400 km range/ full charge. They also repaired a light switch for free. Prompt and professional. Thank you, gentlemen!

Potlights, Arc Fault Protection and various electric cleanup

We absolutely loved our experience with Captain Electric and refer everyone to them! We have an older home with aluminum wiring and were concerned about the safety. Ryan came to our home to discuss our options and never tried to push anything on us that we didn’t need. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and patient with all our questions. The crew that came to do the work were just as great. Super friendly guys who were obviously took great pride in their work. They were meticulously clean and took the time to answer our questions. They weren’t our cheapest quote but the pricing was very fair and worth every penny. We reccomend them to everyone without hesitation and we’ll use them for all future electric needs.
