Electrical Panel Upgrade

Recently Ali replaced our aging electrical panel.
He is professional , courteous and offered excellent advise on the project. Ali arrived early and was prepared to start immediately after the hydro shut off. The job was finished in a timely manner and passed inspection within minutes. His efficiency certainly minimized the disruption of hydro service to our home.
We have used Ali’s services for both smaller and larger electrical jobs. He approaches both in the same knowledgeable, attention to detail manner. Need an electrician then look no further than Direct Electric.

Garage Outlet Reapir

I had an emergency on Canada Day as my garage power had gone out and I couldn't open or close the garage door ( that luckily had been left open as I had plugged in my lawn mower and it looks like it tripped the breaker and I was very concerned as we keep our car and a few other items in the garage.

I had contacted a few companies but due to the holiday the earlier they were able to schedule an appointment was the next day ( which would have been too late).

I call Ali. He was very courteous and accommodating and showed up within about half an hour. We did some extensive diagnostics to determine why power wasn't going to the garage ( while all other rooms had power on).

He determined the root cause while keeping me in the loop, as well as offered optional equipment replacement.

I was extremely relieved after the the issued had been resolved in a timely manner by Ali.

Thanks a million, Ali!

Panel upgrade

Ali is very professional and knowledgeable electrician. I did a panel upgrade and some rewiring. The job was clean and price is reasonable. He gave honest advice on other electrical stuff as well. The ESA inspector passed the job in 5 mins. He explained all the materials he used and he always uses high quality materials and doesn't cut any corners. If you are looking for a good licensed electrician look no further.

Electrical Issue with Potlights

I had an issue with new pot lights that were installed by my "contractor".
One bank of lights weren't working so Ali came over and carefully walked me through the steps that we would be performing. He removed all of the pot lights that were affected and found the issue. He then went on to properly connect all of the wiring again and provided me with great feedback on some of the other issues he found with the installation. Always hire a licensed trade not a jack of all trades. That is the lesson that I learned yesterday.

Thank you for your help Ali. It was a pleasure doing business with you!

Very capable, honest electrician with fast service

I called Ali for his help because a number of outlets and lights in my newly purchased home were not working. He came promptly on the next day and quickly fixed all the issues. He also showed me what was wrong before and fixed the additiona issue we found that I didn't know about. He even check all other outlets to make sure everything was all working. His price was reasonable considering the time spent at our place. Highly recommend Ali and Direct Energy for your electrical problems and needs.

Update outlets, switches and outdoor lighting

Ali is top notch, best of the best. We had some outlets and switches that needed to be replaced as well as some exterior lighting. Thoroughly explained everything he was doing before and while doing the job. Pricing is very competitive, you really do pay for quality. I would highly recommend him and refer him as well!

Very knowledgeable. Great work. 10/10

Ali was able to come the very next day after I called him and even showed up a little early. The job was bigger than we originally discussed and that was no problem for Ali. He explained what he was doing and had all the supplies with him to finish the job. On top of that, he was also great with my dog and cat.
I would recommend Ali to anyone. If you’re reading this review looking for the right person for the job, look no further. Call Ali.

Lot of small jobs, excellent work all around

My wife and I had numerous small electrical jobs around our house we needed done - a friend recommended Ali after he did a fantastic job as his home. We had other contractors come by but we couldn't even get a quote, let alone the work done. My wife called Ali, discussed what we needed done and he came the same week, reviewed our ask and got to work the same day.

We had around 50 pot lights installed throughout our basement, in our kitchen, our office, the upstairs hallway, laundry room and guest bathroom. Junction boxes were installed in both of our bathrooms for vanity lighting and four more in our hallway for a gallery wall of sconce lights. We had additional electrical sockets installed in our basement, office, dining room and living room in areas that were awkward to access. And in our pool shed, additional sockets and a junction for a flood light. All of this was done without any damage to the ceilings (Which has a knockdown plaster design that is next to impossible to fix cleanly) and only 3 repair holes on walls where there was no other way to run the necessary wires.

I 100% recommend Ali for any electrical work that you need done.

Condo receptacle repair

Ali came on time and assessed the situation, and educated me on what he was going to do. To save on cost, he told me what I needed to get. Once the job was completed it explained what he did, and explained where each breaker went. As the previous owner never labeled anything on the panels.

Re-wiring of external outlet

This was my first time using Direct Electric. Ali is prompt and professional. He is very knowledgeable and has really good diagnostic skills. He was able to quickly work out how the home was wired (incorrectly) and what was required to resolve the issue and bring it up to code. My recommendation score was slightly lower only because this was my first time using Direct Electric.
