Once you are ready to go forward with the heating options, I'm happy to help again, also for all your other electrical and mechanical needs.Thank you for this review, and thank you for your business.

Replacing Backstabbed outlets and switches

I was shocked to discovered that many of my light switches were not working properly after moving to my new home. I immediately called Karel, and he arrived on the same day. During his diagnosis he discovered that many switches and outlets were wired incorrectly since the house was built in 2005, and explained in detail the implications of not fixing the issue. He replaced the defective outlets and light switches, installed smoked detectors, installed a dryer hose for my dryer, and educated me on the last electrical codes to ensure my house was up to standards. Karel is very honest and very easy to work with. I am very shocked that many builders are getting away of using backstabbed wiring for electrical outlets and switches for newly built homes. I recommend Karel as your "main go to person" for any electrical problems.

Dryer Outlet not working

I called Karel to get a quote. He called me back within the hour and came the same day. He told the price over the phone, which was fair. He troubleshooted the problem and repaired the issue quickly. He kept me informed through the whole process. Karel was very professional and thorough. I would recommend him.

Hi Justin,
Congratulations on your new home and new addition to your family. We are happy to help. The problem appeared to be a workmanship defect from the original installer, and failure of the last technician to properly diagnose the issue. It's good that we could make the fix before and harm was caused. Thank you for your positive feedback, and thank you again for choosing us. Regards, Karel

HVAC - A/C

A/C crapped out. Called Karel because I had him do telecommunication services some years ago. He came to Milton on his day off. Someone else told me I needed a new a/c. Karel told me over the phone it wasn't the problem. He did the troubleshooting over the phone saving me a separate service call. He brought a part with him and fixed the issue in no time. Very honest and trustworthy. Highly recommend Karel.

Sauna Analysis and Repair - Great work

We encountered an issue with our indoor sauna when it suddenly stopped working. After doing some research, we selected DE KONING Electrical & Mechanical find out what the problem is and fix it.

Karel was the electrician who arrived at our house and I could tell that I immediately liked the guy. He began to analyze the sauna controller, wiring, etc to determine the issue. After figuring it out, he was able to explain to me what happened in a clear and concise manner - and I have no electrical background. Additionally, he pointed out some other areas for concern while confirming it by showing me readings from his instruments.

After we discussed potential remediation options, we selected one which Karel was comfortable with and that worked best for our situation. He was able to finish the agreed upon work in a timely manner.

All in all, I was very impressed with Karels knowledge and work ethic. In the future, I would not hesitate calling him again for any electrical projects and highly recommend him to family, friends and anyone else.

HI Zack,
We are happy that we could correct the issue, and protect you from further harm. This is a clear example of how important it is to ensure that the work is done properly, and is among many reasons why the electrical safety code is so strict. Electrical safety is about protecting from both electrocution and fire. Thank you again for hiring us and letting us do our job. We wish you many years of enjoyment and safety for your sauna equipment.
regards,
Karel.
