Robert conducted a full Electrical inspection of my home in order for me to change insurance companies as well as give me piece of mind that my home is safe. He did an excellent job and I would highly recommended his services and will use him again in the future for any electrical work.
Thank you for the review Cassie and look forward to helping again if required.
I was very impressed with Robert from Electrilight Ltd. He originally came to our house as part of a small ensuite renovation and installation of a shower pot light (he was originally hired by the general contractor). Upon meeting him, you can immediately tell that he takes pride in his work, and he was very courteous, open and honest about the job. Based on these attributes, I requested some extra work to replace my exterior pot light fixtures with LEDs (tired of the incandescents burning out all the time!). Robert was able to salvage much of the existing and come in significantly under his estimated budget. Again, he was very open, and provided good communication on aspects of the job. Months later, I was having issues with my hot-tub breakers tripping for unknown reasons, and he again came by to check it out, spent an hour looking at things, and didn't even charge me for the time! There is no question that I will call him first for any electrical related issues I ever have in the future.
Thank you for the great review. It gives me pleasure knowing that homeowners feel like a valued customer, as you all certainly are.
The hot tub was a bonus as I was also curious to know if you had a cooked mouse in there!
Robert arrived on time to see the job we wanted completed. He explained what had to be done to complete the job and e-mailed us his quote within 24 hours. Robert arrived on time to do the job. The job was completed in less time then was quoted and the invoice reflected this. Robert was courteous, professional, prompt and the worksite was clean. We will definitely use Electrilight Ltd. for any other electrical needs.
Pleasure completing the job for you. Hopefully hear from you again.
Robert's workmanship, professionalism and experience was great. His knowledge helped us make some important decisions which wound up being beneficial. We will use him again for future work.
Thank you Ivan, glad to get things done properly for your home. have a great summer 2014
Works was done on time arrived on time. Met all inspection requirements. Very neat and tidy. Would recommend and use again if needed.
Pleasure helping to complete your projects and making your electrical system safe around your yard and pool area. I appreciate the referrals as well. Have a fabulous summer!
Back in October of 2013 I had my Fuse Box upgraded and I found Electrilight's work exemplary. As I continue my home renovations/upgrades, I will be soliciting more services from Robert at Electrilight. Should anyone require any electrical work to be done I would recommend Electrilight as a first choice.
Thank you for the kind comments and always a pleasure to excel in clients expectations. Be safe, be electrically safe as electrical mistakes can take lives or property, hire a licensed contractor always!
We were extremely pleased with Robert at Electrilight. He came within an hour or so of receiving my call, was very thorough in explaining the issue, and was tidy and professional. We are planning a future kitchen renovation and will be calling Electrilight to do the wiring and for all our future electrical needs.
One of my least favorite jobs (repairing botched aluminum wiring patches from DIY people), but most pleasurable helping keep another family safe. I am happy with all the repairs done and am sure the integrity of the older aluminum and the newer copper will last for years safely now that is it done right with proper marrettes, antioxidant and approved devices. Only recommendation would be upgrade that old main panel to breakers.
We required a fair amount of electrical work to be completed after a fire at our home. We met Robert McKinnon through our contractor, who brought him in to do the electrical work. I cannot say enough about the service that Robert provided. He was extremely pleasant and professional, and provided us with very helpful advice and information. Through all stages of work he kept us informed, including explaining the inspection process. We would not hesitate to recommend Robert to anyone looking for an electrician.
I am totally satisfied with job done. Very professional and prompt. Everything was set up with Hydro. Started on time and completed within suggested time limit. No complaints and would recommend to anyone who needs to have work done.
Thank you very much Hamid, glad to have replaced that old fuse panel for you and repair all the grounding and bonding. No more blowing fuses now. Happy to have helped and make your home safer and up-to-date with a new breaker panel.
Electrilight's pricing was very competitive and they were very patient with answering all of my questions. I had a lot of questions because this is the first time I've ever hired an electrician to do this type of work. The LED potlights that they provided and installed look great. They were also good about providing me with sufficient information to update our household electrical map. We had some project delays caused by other people (not Electrilight), but Robert worked with me to sort out the scheduling of the electrical work to mutual satisfaction. On one occasion he arrived at my house about an hour later than expected, but was otherwise on time. They did not pick up every little piece of insulation that was stripped from wires, but did an adequate job of cleaning up the debris. The wiring that I could see before the walls and fixtures were closed in looked very neat and tidy.
I would definitely hire Electrilight again to do any major electrical work in my home.
Glad to help with your renovation.
As you worked nights, and there was only a few to complete the job, I thought providing you an extra 45 minutes of rest would have been welcome, my mistake, sorry.
I have always kept my job sites clean and tidy and have cleaned areas before leaving any site for the day. If I left a few wires ends, I must have overlooked them as it is not normal, sorry.
The asbestos I found in the ceiling insulation certainly should give your home an easier resale and better for your overall health and our safety while working there. The delay was a minor slow down.
Even making the special trip back to connect your stove a few days before xmas was not in my hourly plan, but thought it was a nice gesture to cook your xmas dinner.
Enjoy your new kitchen.

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.
