This phrase has been bantered around for decades and most people assign the origin of it to project management. So what are contractors talking about when we say 'pick any two?'

I had several electrical issues to be taken care and after reading so many positive reviews for DataWise Solutions Inc. I decided to give them a call. Reviews are valuable for home owners needing work done. It can be overwhelming trying to right person for the job. John was very professional, knowledgeable and offered valuable advise when needed. I was very pleased with the work he did. I would certainly recommend DataWise Solutions Inc. to anyone needing electrical work. A job well done.
I am very pleased with the service I received from Datawise Solutions. I am very new to the area and made my selection of Datawise web reviews such as this one. Everything about the service was as I expected or such much better. The technicians were customer focused and professional and both their estimates for time without power and price were very accurate (price within $20). In addition, the paperwork was perfect!
I recently had Datawise install a new electrical panel in my garage. The previous occupants of my house had used the wrong wire and ran it in a method outside that did not meet code. I have to say im really impressed at the job they did. The job only took one day and the guys didnt even leave a mess when they were done. When was the last time an electrician didnt leave all their wire clippings all over for tlyou to clean up? Datawise was professional, courtious, clean and the bill at the end, i found more than reasonable and was the same as was quoted. I like not having any surprise extras on a bill.
We recently had this company in to do some work on a bathroom fan and dimmer switch in our home. Although I'm sure these repairs were minor in nature to them, they approached the work in a professional manner, and completed the work in a timely and courteous manner. In fact, I had purchased a complete fan replacement for the bathroom, and actually only needed replacement parts, resulting in a saving to me of both time and money.
We have a couple of new electrical projects upcoming and we will not hesitate to use them again to complete this work. We have no hesitation in recommending Datawise to any prospective customer.
Another successful job by Datawise! These guys are excellent and can be relied on for a good job and complete customer satisfaction. The area was left clean and tidy and they demonstrate respect for their customers.
I have no hesitation in recommending them and will use them whenever needed.
Datawise provided superior service at a reasonable price for a professional job well done. the technicians were professional, knowledgeable and were on time to do the repair. I would recommend Datawise to anyone requiring a professional electrician.
There were 3 electricians that came to my home, all were very friendly (also good looking). They did not waste time, but went about their business and got things done. I was very impressed by their professionalism and I would definitely hire Datawise Solutions again for any electrical work needed in my home! They cleaned up their mess and left everything tidy, a big plus.
A big thank you to John and his team of professionals for addressing all of my electrical needs and putting my mind to rest. The issues that you repaired for me had caused me great stress and are now solved, inlcuding the conduit outside. I truly appreciate your approach to customer service, speed and thoroughness in communication and patience with all my questions!!! Thank you for spotting a non-compliant issue and fixing it when the company who made the error said it didn't need to be changed. I sleep much more comfortably now knowing that everything is safe. Highly recommend!!
John is a perfect example of what everyone should expect from a professional electrician. He provided very detailed initial estimate reports even before we agreed to the jobs, and always worked around our schedule. It's very hard to find now a day but John and his team gave us the "looking out for customer's best interest first" feeling.
We have contracted John for 3 jobs and have been very satisfied with each, he took the time to explain to us in detail each job he and his team was doing and ensured everything is in good shape before they wrap up. Another point I would like to make is that John does not beat around the bush or open up price for negotiating. He gave what he truly believe is fair--which we totally agreed-- and never rushed us to make a decision. He also went extra mile on several occasions even though we are only a small business and does not bring him big revenue like the big ones do. One time our heater wasn't working and John came over right away and got it to work within the shortest time any one can expect. I can go on and on, but John is just a very honest guy that will get your job done to save you bunch of headaches.

This phrase has been bantered around for decades and most people assign the origin of it to project management. So what are contractors talking about when we say 'pick any two?'
Recently I was involved in a conversation with some fellow tradesmen (I was the only Electrical Contractor (EC)) on the topic of "Value". The topic was really about how to explain to a client about the value of work that is not seen not "lipstick and mascara". So to help explain some of the differences in the electrical area I will offer up the following.
There is nothing stopping you and your Electrical Contractor from adding more to the requirements of the code to meet your future needs. While there is a cost to do this, the cost of doing it during the renovation or build is far less than doing it several years down the road where it is possible that you will end up removing some of your new renovation work to facilitate the new requirement.
Just like many other electrical contractors (ECs), I get numerous calls for estimates to upgrade a client's electrical panel or service. For many ECs this is the mainstay of their business and are very good at doing them quickly and with excellent quality. However, don't be fooled just because they have done many of these upgrades. Just like any other type of work, do your due diligence, ask the right questions and do your homework.
I was recently at a client's home and while discussing how to solve a particular electrical problem they were having, I came across a bundle of wires. I originally thought that they were computer network cables and then I took a few minutes to look at the markings on the cables and explain what they meant and what they might be for. As you can imagine the response was, "it's all Greek to me".
I am sure there are not many of us that have not been the brunt of a joke that took us unsuspectingly by using terminology that we were not familiar with. While we went along willingly looking for the left-handed screwdriver , when it comes to electrical work don t let your electrical contractor try to bedazzle you with terms and acronyms that leave you confused or unsure.
I can always tell when home sales are up or insurance policies are due; I get calls for aluminum wire inspections. One of the most important things during my AL wire inspection is educating the potential buyer or the current homeowner on the facts about AL wire and helping them sort out the hyperbole that their house is going to burn down because it has AL wring or some other ridiculous statement.
This is the call of hundreds, if not thousands of fire safety organizations and fire departments around North America, and I believe that most of us think it is true, smoke detectors save lives.
Everywhere in Canada a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is required in different parts of homes and businesses. A whole article on the building code requirements and interpretations could be written, but today I want to focus strictly on the facts and fictions surrounding GFCIs.
