Northcon Corp

Warning about Northcon Corp, unlicensed and dangerous work. Would not provide Ontario GST number once requested.

I contacted Northcon Corp last year when I needed an exterior entrance put in at the front of my house. The work they did was ok for the most part although at times the guys didn’t seem like they knew what to do next.

As an option there was a rough in and installation of an outdoor light fixture offered for $250 which I decided to get. Throughout the process the owner assured me things are “being done to code”. Fast forward to 7 months later when I have an electrician come do some work and wire up their light fixture.

As it turns out the guys knew absolutely nothing about electrical work and connected the wires using electrical tape and not wire nuts. Of course all electricians know this is not an approved way of wiring cables together and would not pass code.

When I contacted The owner initially he seemed like he would help and offer a refund but kept insisting this was a proper way of doing it. When I explained to him I knew a bit about electrical work his attitude changed right away. He told me it was my responsibility to check the guys work to ensure it was done right. Imagine the audacity, I hire this guy for a job and he tells me I’m supposed to inspect the work.

Avoid this company if you can, they do not stand by their work. I’m out $250 but at least I learned a lesson in making sure to hire a licensed contractor next time.
