Robert responded quickly to emails, calls and text. He gave us accurate estimate, no hidden charges. He was very efficient and helped us solve our problems. We are very satisfied with his work.
Thank you very much for the time you have taken to provide a review. Pleasure working with you.
Robert was very efficient, on time, informative, pleasant and professional. He responded and scheduled each job quickly. We had an issue with the dimmer and he came back to address with no additional charge. I would definitely recommend this company.
Glad to be of service. Just for information, quoted prices were never requested prior to visiting. Standard service call fees are always quoted up front so people know what a call out minimum would be. Your materials were provided at cost, and even a return visit free of charge for a quick repair not to mention the many emails and texts for advice and information how to aid your appliance guy and what you should check on to ensure he was being fair with you. End of 4 visits, glad it all worked out.
Can't say enough about this company! Knowledgeable, courteous, efficient, and professional. They completed all the wiring for our second floor renovation in a timely manner, leaving no mess at all and completed everything according to plans and completing all electrical inspections. Very happy with their work
Pleasure helping at the local community centre. I hope all goes well for the spring and summer. It was a cold reno for us, but the spring is coming.
Very professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and reasonably priced. Rob really takes pride in his work!
Thank you Jenna for the great review. It was a pleasure working with you and in your beautiful home.
Most helpful in evaluation, implementation and completion. A true professional. No hesitation to use in the future.
Thank you Dan for your kind comments, It was a pleasure working for you.
We needed a chandelier fixture outlet relocated in the dining area of our condominium. Robert surveyed and explained what was required and, after our approval, completed the installation in a most professional and timely (less than 2 hours) fashion.
In addition to his professional workmanship, Robert is very personable; don't hesitate to ask questions...he's happy to explain. I will not hesitate to recommend Electrilight for any electrical job.
Thank you for your review David,
it was a pleasure helping relocate that ceiling box and hanging your new fixture. If you need anything in the future I'd be happy to help assist.
We were renovating our kitchen and needed an electrician to install a new over-the-range microwave as well as some under-cabinet lighting. After a brief search online, I found Robert. He was close by, had great reviews and even participated in conversations online with previous clients. After an initial consultation, I was immediately impressed with Robert. Well-spoken, prompt and confident. He showed up on-time, worked quickly, cleaned up after himself and even returned a few days later to redo something that I hadn't communicated properly. Great guy and great work.
Was a pleasure helping you with the kitchen repairs and the vanity light in the bathroom issue where no junction was found, as so many homes have within. You never know what you find within some walls.
Thank you for the great review!
Electrilight was one of four local companies I met with to get costing to complete the electrical work for finishing my basement. Robert's pricing was very competitive and I decided to go with him because I felt he was honest, very knowledgeable, easy to get straight answers from, and he spoke to me about electrical work at a level I could understand. Approximately $7200 of work was completed including about 30 pot lights, 3 low profile pot lights, kitchen valance lights, cabinet lights, bathroom fan, smoke alarm, dimmers/3 ways, and electrical to an island. Robert and his crew were courteous and arrived to do the work when the said they would and finished on schedule. Robert even made a trip out on short notice to re-wire after we decided to knock out a wall during the dry walling stage. This was a huge relief as it allowed our project to stay on track. Robert's crew was not perfect with tidying up their mess, but really what contractor is? They were better with cleanliness than any of the others I had in the house as part of this basement finishing. The final product looks fantastic and I would definitely recommend Electrilight for this type of work and plan to go with them for my future needs.
Pleasure helping you Aldis,
Sorry the work space did not come out as clean as you expected, I thought we cleaned up at the end of every day and am sorry something was missed, we certainly try to complete everything properly. All the LED lights and dimmers should help you keep your electrical consumption costs down.
Enjoy your family space.
It was a pleasure to work with Robert from Electrilight.
Great communicator that explained the work required, the costs, the codes, etc. Always got back to my questions within the same day.
He replaced my 43 year old fuse panel to breakers and upgraded numerous other electrical issues that existed. He correctly predicted that some issues would be resolved with a new panel.
His work and neatness is beyond belief for a contractor here in Oakville Ontario.
Robert is a private contractor that does all the work himself(at least in my case) so his business depends on his reputation.
The thing that sold me on Robert is that I told him about a hidden junction box(I only knew about that 5 years ago) behind a cupboard and he was concerned that a new homeowner would not know about that.
I likely save 2-3 thousand over the cost of a major electrical company that would only send in young journeymen to complete the work.
One company even wanted $1400 to do the inspection alone.
I will get all my future work done through Robert and highly recommend him to all my friends.
Leo, it has been a pleasure working for you bringing your home up to current codes, or near to it, considering its age. I am sure you'll find a big improvement on the power stability and knowing that all repairs were done to the best quality parts and ability necessary to make it sound.
Any employee within the company would work to the same quality expectations otherwise they would not be part of my team. Customer service is important and peace of mind of each customer as well.
I look forward to helping again if need be.
Here is the original photo, feel free to add the new panel.
Robert did a first rate job on upgrading the lighting in our bathroom/vanity area. Highly recommended. We had identified 6 tasks in our condominium which he reduced to three, saving us unnecessary expense!
Thank you Derrick for your review. We all own homes and where ever we can save money in renovation, the better (in my opinion). Enjoy your new lighting and tell your family/friends who did it! Happy Holidays.

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.
