Your Home Electricians

Seven years ago AC Electrical replaced some old knob and tube wiring in our house. Recently I put up some new porch lights and had some concerns about the lack of electrical boxes. Nick came over and explained that the wire connections could be made between the brick wall and the light canopies since the materials were not combustible. He ended up hooking the lights up for me for free, even though he didn't have to do that. I was impressed that the company stood by its work.

After reading the positive reviews about AC Electrical Contractors, we contracted the company to replace our aging electrical panel. Jim arrived on time to give us an estimate, which we thought was reasonable. A week later, Jim came to do the job, which he completed in just over 4 hours. We are very pleased with the job Jim did and would not hesitate to contract AC Electrical again.

Our rental property had two very old fuse-box panels (one for reach rental unit).

We were having some trouble with the baseboard heaters in the basement apartment and asked AC Electrical to come out to quote on fixing them, as well as possibly replacing the panels.

We had noticed the way the panels were wired did not look right, and were also concerned that previous owners/renters of the property might have swapped out 15Amp fuses for 20 or 30Amp fuses (which could potentially burn out a wire in the wall and cause a fire). AC Electrical confirmed that both these things were unfortunately true and also pointed out some other problems with the boxes.

AC provided a quote which was not the highest or lowest quote we received. One electrician quoted around the same price as AC, but then offered to charge $800 less if we would forego getting a permit and having the work inspected. $800 is a lot of money but hardly seemed worth risking someone's life over, or having our insurance company refuse to pay a claim because of faulty and un-inspected electrical work.

Everything went off without a hitch and the new breaker boxes came with a *ten* year warranty against any future problems with them.

My thanks go out to our electrician-for-the-day: Quinn. He was friendly, efficient and went the extra mile, taking the time to do a little carpentry, cutting the shelf we had below the old fuse boxes, to fit around the new breaker boxes. And Erin in the back-office took care of getting the permits, coordinating the power shut off/on with Toronto Hydro, and patiently answering an unreasonable number of questions from me. :-)

We would be very comfortable with calling AC Electrical for any future work.

I contacted AC Electrical based on Homestar reviews that I had read. They were very professional to deal with and their excellent customer service was very reassuring. The electrician was able to diagnose and fix 2 electrical issues in our condo in a short amount of time. I was kept apprised of everything throughout the appointment and was very satisfied with the work.

Quinn of AC Electric came to add a power outlet in my main bathroom. It was a pleasant experience dealing with this company because you can communicate with a real person and get instant responses. Quinn was on time and he worked very swiftly, did a good job, cleaned up and also helped me with a couple of little things. AC Electric was recommended to me by a friend and I will certainly spread the word to my friends too.

I called them on Aug 27 and spoke to Nick. He was very professional and polite on the phone.

He dropped by on Aug 28 and completed the work in good time. The amount we paid was exactly the amount he quoted to us on the telephone (no surprises).

He explained to us in detail how the new smoke detectors work, and also asked us to call him if the new smoke detectors aren't working properly. He was very patient and answered all of our questions.

I live in a condo and wanted a couple wall sconces installed (floor lamps take too much space and the ceilings are concrete). I called a few companies for quotes and I found AC Electrical BY FAR the easiest to deal with. While their quotes was the highest I had a hard time getting the other companies to return my calls and emails (probably because my job was a small one?). AC Electrical was the only exception. They returned my calls quickly, were straightforward with pricing and scheduled the visit quickly too. The servicemen showed up on time and did the job professionally, quickly and cleanly. I was satisfied with their work so I called them in a week to install two more sconces. Same result - fast response and a professional job. I am quite satisfied. They did cut a couple of small holes in the walls which they told me I had to fix myself (they warned me about it beforehand) or hire somebody else to do it but I believe this is a common practice for such jobs. Anyway, I filled and painted over the holes myself so that was not a big deal. I'll call them again if I need more electrical work done.

We changed all switches, we are quite satisfied their job from beginning.
Clear quote, very nice job and friendly in my opinion.
We will have another project, I am quite sure we will ask them again.

I contacted AC Electrical to change my electrical panel and add 2 plugs. Really good work : serious and professional crew. I definitely recommend them. Thanks for your works guys :)

Michael and his crew did a very professional and neat replacement of all our aluminum switches,receptacles and overhead fixtures. They followed up immediately with a minor problem and their price was competitive.
