Robert's services from ElecTriLight Ltd were excellent. He provided accurate written quotes in advance, was timely and professional, and provided high quality work at my home. He fixed problems he found in the existing wiring set up, and even alerted me to a home concern that wasn't related to electrical issues at all, which allowed me to get it fixed promptly. I would unreservedly recommend Robert and ElecTriLight to anyone, and have already done so to family members.
We hired Robert to replace our fusebox. He was totally reliable, professional, friendly, and courteous, and we could not have been more pleased and impressed with the work he did. We are very happy to have found an electrician we can trust for future jobs, and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.
I highly recommend ElecTriLight for any of your electrical upgrades. Robert was prompt in his responses, very knowledgeable and helpful in planning/guiding me to the solution that best suited my needs. Robert is very meticulous in his work, he was always on time and very neat and tidy. Robert organized the disconnect/reconnect with Oakville hydro, the ESA inspection and certificate. Finally the quality of work was above and beyond what I expected, I will contact Robert in the future for all of my electrical work.
ElecTriLight converted a portion of our facility to LED in March 2019 on time and on budget. We have 70,000 sq ft of mixed office, lab and manufacturing space and 16,000 sq ft was converted to LED. All communications with ElecTriLight were very professional and their replies were done in a timely manner. They do what they said they would do which is not too common today. We have been in business for three decades and have used many contractors and suppliers over the years. ElecTriLight is one of the best in terms of pride in their work, caring about their customer and doing what they say they will do. We will be using ElecTriLight in the future.
From dark and dingy to bright and safe! It has been a pleasure working in the industrial welding shop. 30 year old 250 watt, 400 watt, 1000 watt MH high bay lights are no longer the best option of 20', 30', 40', ceilings. LED shop lights are energy efficient, low heat and remain the same lumen output which is completely opposite to the old units that start and continue to degrade after 6 months dropping of light levels to as low as 20% after 10 years. Let alone the heat and UV rays they give off! Time for an upgrade!
Robert was able to solve the electrical wiring problems with my house efficiently and effectively. He was punctual and was able to find the root cause of the dead circuit on the upper floor of my house. I appreciated that he was transparent with what he was going to do to try to solve the problem which ensured that there were no hidden costs. His knowledge and professionalism were exceptional. I would recommend ElecTright Ltd. to my friends and family without any hesitation.
We hired Robert at ElecTriLight to run some flexible conduit and terminate some wiring for 120VAC panel in the Central Water Room for a large Lab in Toronto. ElecTriLight provided excellent communication, timely response, quality service and followed all codes required to complete the job in a timely and professional manner. We will definitely use ElecTriLight for any future jobs. Very pleased with the overall experience.
Industrial wiring must also be inspected by the ESA, what other ways to ensure jobs do not turn into a mess of cabling? Thank you for the great review.
I don’t find many people I can recommend without hesitation but Robert and ElecTrilight I can give my highest recommendation. He is a professional master electrician who listens to your ideas, makes suggestions that are valuable, explains clearly what needs to be done and then prepares contracts that are reasonably priced and delivers to the agreed budget and timelines. In my experience people like this are hard to find. You can trust him to do things right and not to compromise quality and electrical codes.
The first project Robert did for us was the electrical for our basement finishing (a rather big project but Robert delivered to time and budget. No inspection issues and they indicated none expected with his work. That was 6 years ago and there have never been any issues With the work. For later projects - (master bathroom renovation including ventillation fans, heated flooring and heated towel bars, lighting, shower pot lights, etc) and hot tub electrical we only considered Robert for our jobs. Again he was a pleasure to work with, and reasonable and on time and budget. He also worked with inspectors on some code clarifications for heating flooring that allowed us to complete as planned and that was much appreciated and in part probably reflects the respect they have for him as well.
You are a model perfect customer to work for, with the right amount of hesitation, questions and payments: jobs like yours are near picture perfect.
Robert is a great electrician, and has done a number of different jobs for me at two different houses.
Always on time, work is excellent, and he is always willing to explain and provide options.
Excellent to deal with.
Thank you Langley, Look forward to helping you more if needed in 2019! That hot tub cabling wasn't straight forward as anticipated, but as long as it is code compliant, no one can get electrocuted!
Awesome company to deal with. We did a full house renovation and hired ElecTrilight to do all our electrical work. Robert came to the job site to review what we wanted done and work out our timeline. We asked lots of questions and Robert had all the answers as well as some really good suggestions. I asked all kinds of questions about electrical codes and Robert answered all of them correctly. ( This guy knows his codes. ) They showed up the day they said they would and they were prepaired to do the job, they had all the supplies they needed for a full days work. Robert communicated well with the other trades on site to get everyone on the same page and keep the electrical part moving without hindering the other trades from completing their work.
Every day Robert would text me or call me to tell me what to expect the following day and what he required from the other trades to keep electrical moving forward.
I hired a HVAC company to install all new equipment and when Robert noticed that some of their work was not correct he called me and informed me of the defects he had noticed and the code violations he had found. He did not have to say anything, but being a stand up guy he did the right thing and looked out for the safety and best interest of his customer.
Robert and the guys at ElecTrilight were by far my favourite trade to deal with during our renovation. Great work quality, great at communication, cleaned up after themselves on a daily basis, showed up when they were required to sometimes with very short notice.
I would highly recommend them without any hesitation to anyone looking for the best electrician in town. Thank you ElecTrilight for caring and a job well done.
Thank you for the great comments Rick. It was a pleasure working on your home. Some contractors have some pretty bad reputations and give customers reasons not to trust other contractors, but we are not all made from the same molding. Every home I work on is treated as if it were my own.

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.
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.
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
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.
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.

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.
