Electrical Subservice Installation

The shared garage for our 4-unit townhouse building was being metered separately and we were tired of paying $70 a month of admin fees for $2 a month of power usage. Our request to those who quoted on this project was therefore pretty open ended. How can we cost-effectively unmeter the garage and supply the small amount of power needed either from one of the 4 units, or from an independent solar system? We posed the problem to three electricians. two of them gave essentially the same standard solution for about the same price, and Electrifying Dutchman (DJ) came up with something $1000 cheaper, that didn't require us to trench, and that still met all the needs of the required City electrical inspection. We appreciated DJ's responsiveness and attention to our needs, and his willingness to try something a little unorthodox that met our needs better. The inspector said his work was professional and met all the requirements. DJ was certainly a nice person and easy to deal with. We'd hire him again.

Thanks Fiona! What an interesting job. It definitely had me thinking of new ways to try and come up with cost effective solutions! I appreciated your insight and giving me the opportunity to do something a little outside the box of how I would typically do it. I look forward to working for you again in the future!

20 amp plug installed

DJ quoted his cost for this service and was able to do the work within the timeline that we requested. It turned out that we actually needed the service sooner than we thought and DJ accommodated our schedule change. His work is done quickly and thoroughly, leaving the workspace as he left it. We are so appreciative of DJs efficiency and work ethic and his commitment to getting the job done. Thank you so much!

Kitchen potlights

The lighting in my kitchen was a complete mess. I had ugly track lighting that didn't work, and not enough light in general. DJ helped create a lighting plan that was far better than anything I would have come up with. I really appreciated his practical and honest advice. The installation was smooth, and I am very happy with the results!

DJ came out quickly as I was having an electrical issue with my new dryer. He was very professional, knowledgeable hard working and friendly. I appreciated how he was trying to keep the cost down while providing quality service.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad we could fix your dryer properly and make the receptacle for it not only up to code but more accessible than it was previously. I'm happy I could replace that faulty bathroom switch and you will have lights working above the vanity again. I try my best to keep the costs down while staying within code requirements. Sometimes it's quite the juggling act.

Hot tub electrical hook up

We had an electrical outlet for a hot tub upgraded to support a new swim spa we purchased. It was a pleasure to have the Electrifying Dutchman come out to our place and do the necessary change over. We will definitely be phoning again as it was a pleasure to do business with them!
