Panel Upgrade and New Light Switch
When I purchased a house last fall, the home inspector strongly suggested that i upgrade the electrical panel and all the switches and outlets in the home.
Basing my decision on the various companies reviewed here at HS, I contacted Major Mack Electrical on May 26/10. During our discussion, Charles explained to me the cost & process of moving from 125 amp to 200 amp and then made arrangements with Hydro One Brampton to have the electricity switched off. The job was done on June 8/10 by Charles and his assistant Usabal(sp). The ESA inspector passed the upgrade and I have since received the ESA's Certificate of Inspection.
In addition to the panel upgrade, I had a bathroom light/fan switch reoriented from the upstairs landing (a 70's design feature i'm guessing) to inside the actual bathroom. The other outlets and switches will have to wait for a future time when I can afford to do them.
The only glitch I encountered was the amperage for the water heater. For some reason the circuit breaker would trip after about 10 mins. However, Charles returned within days and fixed that problem.
Overall, I am very pleased and impressed with the results and the follow up service. Please take a look at the pics I have posted. I certainly recommend Major Mack Electrical.
