Professional, Effective

Chris of Encore was a perfect fit for my small project in East Toronto. I needed to rewire the knob & tube in my semi before I could move it. As with every project, when unseen problems came up, he was able to effectively problem solve and recommend solutions, a skill that's crucial for all small projects in Toronto. He also helped clean up some of the other bits that were leftover after decades of misc renos by previous owners. Fair price, good work.

Thanks for taking the time to post a great review. It was a pleasure to work with you on this project. Knob and Tube can be a dangerous system when paired with today's Power Demands and LED Lighting. We're glad to have updated your home to the current Electrical Code Requirements and provide an ESA Inspection for your records!

Electrical panel replaced and an EV charger installed.

From the beginning Chris was very responsive, friendly, and professional. He came to see what I wanted to do and gave me different options. I was very happy with the work that he did and was happy to see that he did a great job cleaning everything up.
He also labeled the switches that I had labeled before.

Upgrade 200 amp and lights flickering problem

We needed to replace our main panel so Chris did that for us and took care of all the communication with Hydro. As well we had had a problem with the lights flickering and he was able to identify the problem with the transformer from Hydro. Cannot thank him enough for that.

All the usual good stuff, showed up on time, respectful of our environment, did the job in less time than predicted, overall a great asset to your electrical needs. We definitely recommend his company!

Electrical Upgrade

Chris showed up on time to provide an estimate, and he completed the job sooner than expected. He is professional and well-organized, and everything went smoothly in upgrading our service to 200A and replacing the ancient meter base and mast. He explained everything that he needed to do and didn't mind my many questions. I highly recommend Chris and Encore Electric for your electrical work.

Lighting Installation and Bathroom Fan

Chris communicated with me very quickly. He helped me with a light in the condo and he was very careful when I met him so I did not hesitate to contact him when we needed electrical work done.
He changed 7 light fixtures, including a washroom vanity light and installed a dimmer. Chris also changed our bathroom fan. He took care of an uninsulated duct for us and provided us with all the information possible of concerns he had when he went into the attic.
When the job was done he took care of disposing of everything we did not want in the house. It was spotless and the lights look awesome.
I definitely recommend Chris as someone who is honest, careful and pays attention to the details that make a huge difference in the end result of his work. Thanks for your help!

Hi Leonard, Thanks for the great review! We're glad you were satisfied with our services to hire us again. We take pride in buidling great relationships with customers.
It was a pleasure to install fixtures and dimmer switches in your new home. The new bathroom exhaust fan we installed is not only quieter, but a lot more power than the existing one. It was long overdue for an upgrade. We look forward to working with you again in the future when you decide to install new pot lights!

Whole-house upgrade was flawless

Chris and his crew upgraded our service panel and installed exterior and interior services. They were always promptly on time (3 visits) and were very congenial. They were careful to contain the work area until they could clean up. They identified safety hazards in our wiring and always had a solution.
We think we got very good value for the money and their quotation was very detailed and easy to follow. We will hire Encore Electric again and highly recommend their service.

New Panel and pigtail house

Chris came in and looked over what needed to be done. Looked behind the walls. He gave me an estimate and was great. His timing was on point. Even with adding a couple of extras, the additional cost was very reasonable. Chris and Jordan (apprentice) were a great team and did a great job.

2 projects in 1 week

Chris is a best-in-class electrician. Within a week, he completed 2 separate projects for me. The first was new electrical (outlets, fixtures, range hood fan) for a full downtown condo renovation. A week later he installed and connected a SPA / hot tub for me.

He is professional, knowledgeable, and extremely fair and upfront with pricing. Excellent communication and honest. Look forward to working with Chris on all future projects. It’s hard to find reliable and honest professionals, and Chris definitely is one.
