Great work from the Ring Electric Team

After working with Ring last August to solve a lighting problem in our kitchen, we called the company for more extensive work.

We needed some electrical work done throughout our home to accommodate a new garage door opener as well as to address lighting and ventilation in the main bathroom, and various other repairs and small upgrades.

We received a quote within a day of Bryan V's site visit and the work was scheduled within the following two weeks.

The work was completed by a team led by Derek in about 5 hours, in a professional manner while seeking our thoughts and feedback throughout. The new light fixture we had planned to have installed in the bathroom could not be installed because of the structure of our house. Instead the team suggested and installed alternative lighting solutions that are better than what we had selected.

We highly recommend this company for its service and professionalism.

New panel and service upgrade

I wanted to replace our aged electric panel and upgrade from 100amp service to 200 amps at the same time. I had contacted several other electricians who would not take the job because of the work involved in securing Hydro permits and digging a trench from the street to the house.
Ring Electric was not afraid to take on this big job, they worked with me over several months to ensure that Hydro Ottawa upgraded the infrastructure coming to the pole on our street and to help me find another company to dig a trench that would pass inspection. I truly appreciated the communication throughout this project so that I always knew what stage we were at.
When the connection date came, the two electricians from Ring worked quickly and efficiently. They were friendly but wore masks and kept their distance at all times so my family and I felt safe having them in our home. They cleaned up everything so there was no mess to deal with after they left. I am very pleased with the work and would absolutely recommend them to friends and family.

Pot Light Installation

Ring Electric does great work. They are super professional and mindful of COVID rules. They did very clean work with the minimum amount of holes in the drywall required and fixed other things in the house that weren't to current code. I will definitely use their services again and wouldn't hesitate recommending them.

Great service for installation of electric car charger

We contacted Ring Electric first based on a recommendation from our son-in-law who also has an electric car. He was able to come and give us a quote within a couple of weeks of our request for a quote. The electrician impressed us with his knowledge of electric car chargers. We were responsible for purchasing the Level 2 charger. We had to provide a one year chart of our household electrical usage to make sure that we did not need to upgrade to 200amp service. The team of 2 electricians arrived early finished the work within 3 hours and cleaned up after themselves. I was impressed that they even vacuumed our driveway!

Network rewire and install ceiling fans

Over the past 20-25 years, Ring Electric has been my go to for electrical, generator services and network wiring. New home, new network rewire, new ceiling fans, and some other minor electrical work. Team was professional, polite and friendly. Work is done as expected and always done right.

Replacement of a number of lights, installation of a new pot light and new under-cupboard lighting and updating to code.

This company was great to deal with right from the beginning. The estimate was provided quickly and professionally. The team that came to do the work — Don, Grant, and Ray — were great. They worked efficiently and quickly and with great patience in explaining everything to us. They responded readily to last minute adjustments (where to locate switches, etc.), were neat and cleaned up carefully afterwards and were very pleasant to deal with throughout. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them.

Installation of light fixtures, pot lights, kitchen under-cabinet lighting.

Bryan visited our home to gather information for a quote. He was very efficient and observant and explained our options. The quote was very thorough, well itemized and with reasonable costs. The work order included installation of two chandeliers and 3 additional light fixtures, pot lights in family room, kitchen under-cabinet lighting, new smoke alarm, installation of outdoor post lamp, surge protector and repair of two wall outlets. Joe and Andre were the names of the installers who were both very competent and pleasant. We have had no issues since the installation 2 weeks ago.

Excellent Service!

I would highly recommend this company for its friendly, timely and helpful customer service. Krystle went above and beyond, which was greatly appreciated. I had pot-lights installed in my kitchen. I'm very happy with how they look :)

Replacing of light fixtures

Stay away from this company. I have used them several times in the past but they have since gone downhill. I live in Orleans and just paid $1,480.30 to have 7 new light fixtures installed. One light was installed crooked, the switch plate on the wall was very crooked, the ceiling fan was not installed properly and had to be re-installed, the wall remote holder for my ceiling fan was installed upside-down, I paid for dimmer switches on the main floor and regular switches were installed, I paid for 2 outside potlights to be put back flush and 1 wasn't done (no communication was given for this - they just left it sticking out). In addition to this, loose screws were left on the floor on my basement carpet that I keep stepping on (there were 4). The day after having all these installed one of the ceiling fans wasn't working. I called the company to come back and fix the potlight, the ceiling fan and the plate on the wall that was severely crooked. With all the issues that I was encountering I was embarrassed to flag the plate and the potlight the day the guys were on-site. On the day of my work I was told that I would have 3 electricians, instead I had 1 and an apprentice. I also had items on my invoice that the owner couldn't specifically identify what they were for except to say that he puts that on all his invoices - it was $50 for wire surcharge for increasing prices in wire and $50 for shop supplies. I did add one ceiling light that was not there before, but it couldn't have used more than one 4' piece of wire. After all these issues, the owner wants me to pay another $250 to come back and install a piece into the ceiling fan because it wasn't working. I understand if the piece wasn't his company's fault, but you would think that he would provide good customer service and either put the piece in as a courtesy or at least at a discounted rate because of all of the mistakes that I have encountered. Nobody should work for free yet I never charged him for the time it took out of my day for him to come back to fix the work his technicians improperly did. This company is only after your money and has no customer service skills. Very disappointed. I was also going to use them to install my hot tub but their installation quote was $1,500 higher than my other quotes. Never again. I also know of another unhappy customer as well. Oh - and I got my ESA certificate from this job but no one ever came on-site to inspect the work that was done - not quite sure how that works - paid $145 for a piece of paper.

Hi Penny

We do apologize that you had a negative experience with us. As always we send 2-3 employees to a site, we of course participate in Ontarios apprenticeship program and keep to the ratios, so for your project 1 electrician and 1 apprentice. Unfortunately with a lot of homes, existing electrical boxes may have been originally installed not as satisfactory "straight" as one would hope - we can not take fault from their installations.
With the current pandemic, the price of wire has increased about 80%, we account for this by the wire surcharge that everyone can now see on their Quote(meaning it is agreed upon prior to work being scheduled) and it explains on the line item why it is there. Shop supplies cover all the small items required for your project as well as the PPE to ensure everyone is Covid compliant and that we are able to do our part to safely continue working in Ontario. The existing exterior pot light that is still not perfectly flush is damaged and we did not supply nor install it, it requires replacement as mentioned.
As for the request for a free service call for the ceiling fan that requires replacement, unfortunately we do not offer this as my staff deserve to be compensated for the work that they do.
As for the ESA permit, we do not have any say on their permit prices and whether or not an inspector does a physical inspection or if they pass it with no visit. This is also explained on the quote and invoice.

We wish you all the best in your future reno projects

Sincerely,

Ring Electric Inc.
