Awesome job. Cant say enough good things about Robert and Electrilight.
Thank you for the great review. Happy to help with your electrical troubles and keeping your home safe and up-to-date
We had an emergency electrical issue on one of the coldest days of the year, which so happened to be a holiday. We had a difficult time finding someone to come help us out. We called Robert and he very kindly and quickly responded to our request. Robert’s knowledge and skill were apparent as he quickly assessed our issue, diagnosed the issue and helped organize various parties to get our power back on. We were very grateful for his professional and responsive attention and recommend his services to anyone.
This project was completed in a timely manner without any technical issues given the fact that it's an older home. Rob was very professional and knowledgeable in his trade, and the price was reasonable...... Would highly recommend him for any electrical work.

I am very pleased with Rob's work. Work completed fully meets my expectations (scope). Also, all work was completed on time and on budget. There was no mess at the end of the project. It was easy to talk to Rob about what it was I wanted. And lastly, everything worked (no issues of note) at the end of the project. I was very pleased and will definitely engage Rob again in the future should a need arise. Rob is exceptional!
Robert was professional, friendly, and thorough. He did an excellent job each step of the way, and took the time to communicate throughout. It was clear that he is committed to both doing the job properly and to customer satisfaction. I appreciated both.
This is the third time that we have used Electrilight Ltd. Once again, Robert was excellent. He gave great suggestions and was respectful of our needs. I would highly recommend using Electrilight for your next job.
It was a pleasure working for you Gina and bringing your new kitchen to a beautiful family space. Will see you again am sure ;)
Very accommodating to our schedule. Prompt and quick work. Very pleasant to deal with and open to discuss Do It Yourself (DIY) questions.
Professional and knowledgeable.
High sense of family values and integrity.

Pleasure to help you Guy. See you next time.
We hired Robert to do three jobs.
- Upgrade the electric panel,
- Install 3 new ceiling lights in the upper bedrooms,
- Run a dedicated line for our dishwasher, to stop it from tripping, every time we did dishes and boiled water.
I had met with a few electricians before Robert and I'm glad we chose to work with him & Electrilight. We are so satisfied with the outcome, I don't think we would have had the same with anyone else. Robert's expertise made me feel like he knew what he was talking about and the results speak for themselves. Day 1 he installed the panel box and not only is it functional, but it looks amazing. Day2 he and his apprentice Collin installed the three ceiling lights (and a ceiling fan in the master). They went above and beyond what was required, even fixing an issue with the ceiling fan before it was installed.
I've already started planning our next lighting/electrical job and if anyone were to ask me for an electrician, hands down, I would suggest Robert and Electrilight.
Jonathan, I am happy to help out with your electrical projects and modernize the dreaded "no ceiling lights in our bedrooms" syndrome, although it was the styling for the 80's, it is now pass .
Your panel upgrade will allow for another 24 circuits if you need future expansion.
Shame on the DIY people who wired your new dishwasher to the counter outlet above it, but it's corrected now!
Pleasure doing business.
Robert was great to work with. He was able to provide his services in a timely and experienced fashion. His pre-work quotes were reasonable and accurate. I would definitely hire them again when we require electrical work in our home.
I wish I could say it was a pleasure climbing around in your attic, which is never the case, but luckily all went as planned and without added expenses. Thank you for your business!
I came across Electrilight while searching for a local electrician online and after reading many excellent reviews decided to contact Robert with some questions I had about some home renovation projects we needed help with.
Robert was extremely timely in his email correspondence with me and offered a great deal of advice and information regarding the questions I had.
We decided to hire Robert to do the work needed and we were beyond pleased with his quality of work, his friendly and courteous nature, fair pricing and attention to detail!
I would recommend Robert and Electrilight in a heartbeat and will not hesitate to hire him in the future if the need arises.
Thank you Robert!
Thanks very much Michelle for your kind comments, it was a pleasure helping you and may hear from you once again in the future. Robert

Robert and I have worked on many projects together over the years. His philosophy is the same as mine, if it is done right the first time you should never see us again about failures or shortcomings on that particular job. If your going to be a bear, it is best to be a grizzly bear. No half-assed, half-hearted attempts in any of Roberts jobs. Robert may not be the cheapest guy on the block, but then again you are not paying for the cheapest guy on the block. I truly believe that any project Robert takes on for his clients will be done not only to the best his ability, but will be done to ensure the safety of those he does work for. Roberts customers will not find him working on any project that he is not 100% sure of. The end result of using Robert at Electrilight Ltd. for all your wiring/cabling projects will always be at the very minimum up electrical code and above Canada's safety standards. No short-cuts, No cheap-outs on materials, No cutting corners to save himself a few dollars. Roberts first priority will always be to ensure that every electrical project he does is done correctly, because, there are few second chances once an electrical fire starts.
Electrical wiring for basement renovations must be completed only by a licensed electrical contractor. we walk through the entire process and address what you require plus add what must be there to meet code
All new wiring for commercial buildings, renovations, new equipment connections, relocations. New lighting, power upgrades, panel changes, service entrances.
Everything electrical, we supply it, install it, make it safe and guarantee it. We are not wholesale though.
Older electrical systems should be checked and repaired for peace of mind. If you have aluminum wiring it is definitely time to review all connections. If you see flickering lights or snapping switches or outlets, the danger could already be started.
Electrical full home inspection with or without ESA final inspection. 2-6 hour inspections will tell you what is good, what is bad, and what your home (selling or buying) is all about and what condition it is in.
Outdoor hot tubs must have a LEC (licensed electrical contractor) install the wiring for these and we provide the ESA inspection as well, the only thing we don't do is supply the tub and dig trenches.
We provide wiring for all home theatre, we don't provide the equipment (screens, TV, PVR, etc). we can, but recommend you see a local shop for those and best sale prices.
Century homes, knob and tube, and aluminum wiring needs attention for any home restoration. after floods, wiring and devices must be inspected and possibly replaced.
All kitchen renos will require an electrical permit and some relocations. Appliance garages are illegal to install unless done by a licensed electrical contractor.
In-floor electric heating installed to code and with ESA permit, we don't lay the floor tiles, but we pre-wire for the feed and conduits to power it.
Basic data wiring needs from Cat 5 and Cat 6 systems to get your home or building networked together. Residential, Commercial and Industrial installations.
From renovated, updated or new, we install what must be done to meet codes and safety. DIY wiring is all too often found and more than often hazardous.
Designing electrical systems that are safe and will allow for future expansion. We pride ourselves in quality of materials and workmanship.
We provide new installation of wired alarm systems, from motions, to panels, to wireless modules. We do not offer monitoring.
Full electrical services with ESA permits and inspections, which are mandatory/ 2 year warranty on all electrical we install.
All new additions require electrical as per code and heating. don't allow the GC to do your wiring.
