We used Kirsch to do the renovation work on our newly purchased century home, replacing the old fuse box, and rewire the old knob and tube leftovers. We were on a tight timeline, and the Kirsch team responded quickly and efficiently. Everything was inspected, quoted, upgraded, and certified within a week! The onsite team were professional and friendly, and instilled me with confidence. The work is now done, and it all looks and works great. I volunteered to write a glowing review before they asked! 10/10 would recommend to my friends.
I recently hired Kirsch Electric for a small list of tasks required, and I am thrilled to have found such a pleasant professional team who perform safe, solid, and reliable work. I will absolutely be adding them to my “go to” list of household contractors as the only electricians I will ever need.
SCOPE OF WORK:
• Wire and install two new Nest Protect smoke detectors that we got for Christmas
• Install three new electrical outlets
• Supply and install pot light over kitchen sink
• Examine the possibility of converting a kitchen outlet to GFI receptacle
• Examine the possibility of putting stairwell light on 3-way switches
• Diagnose ‘strobe lighting’ effect in bathroom when using hairdryer
• Add breaker to alleviate double tapped breaker, and label panel.
• ESA permit and inspection
• Approximate cost: $2500
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
• Suzanne (office) provides “next level” client service, each step of the way. This girl is truly a unicorn; she has great communication skills, and a natural aptitude for aiming to impress (which indicates an employer who supports and values her).
• Henry came out to assess and quote on our requirements. He took the time to closely examine how to meet our needs and was honest about determining what we didn’t need. He patiently heard our questions and concerns and replied with clear explanations and advice. His vigilance in identifying where we might encounter safety issues, along with his advice on alternatives, were reassuring that he holds himself and his company to a high standard of professionalism, and that he has my family’s best interests at heart.
THE TEAM/THE WORK:
• Prompt arrival – Henry showed/explained the scope of work to his team.
• He left us in the capable hands of Anthony, John and Connor.
• Clean/tidy – they used tarps and booties to protect my floors.
• They were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.
• Typically, people might worry about a house full of contractors feeling invasive, but these guys worked so cohesively and amicably together that it was more fun, rather than nuisance, having them around. (no extra charge for the singing!)
• Accountability – Henry came back again partway through the day, to check on how things were going and to be available in case any questions/concerns had arisen.
• Minimal cutting! – so surprised and relieved that my drywall wasn’t made into swiss cheese. The minimal cuts they had to make were nicely patched, by them.
• Quality of work – everything looks neatly done, functions very reliably afterwards, and I have an ESA certificate of inspection to back up their work. Kirsch also provides a one-year warranty on their parts and labour.
Bottom Line: Kirsch Electric has won my confidence (to the extent that I’ve already had them quote me on a couple other jobs, too!), and I will enthusiastically recommend them to anyone I encounter in need of electrical service.
A very positive experience! Our electrical outlet did not work.The team arrived right on time. Anthony was very patient and explained everything to my elderly parents. They replaced the outlet and looked at our older panel and explained that everything looked fine for the time being. We would definitely trust them for any further work.
Kirsch was amazing to deal with from beginning to end. Henry provided us with a quote on the spot so we knew what to look forward to even before he left. The guys did a great job carrying out the work and do so as per the quote, no surprises. Suzanne in the office has been fantastic to deal with in coordinating site visits and the work to be done.
Have already scheduled them to come back and do another job for us.
Would definitely recommend!
Over impressed with the service provided by Kirsch Electric. They were able to provide the service I required quickly (weeks quicker than other companies). The work completed was well done and they cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend Kirsch Electric!
I cannot recommend Kirsch Electric enough! From the first communication right to the last, they were extremely professional every step of the way. They responded quickly to every email and call. When visiting my house for a quote, the technician was very thorough and talked me through process so I knew exactly what to expect. My biggest fear working with contractors is always having the project take so much longer than the timeline they give you/ not being reliable. This is definitely not the case with Kirsch. They completed the rewire by the date they told me it would be done and communicated with me every step of the way. Both their work and customer service are outstanding and it was an absolute pleasure to work with them!
A recent power surge had put our house's 50 year old fuse panel on its last legs. I called Kirsch Electric and explained the situation to their office person, Suzanne. She managed to send someone the same day to access the situation. A new panel was required and paperwork was immediately started. Luckily there was a cancellation with another customer and it freed up a spot for installation. Within a week a new electrical panel was installed. Here is what I can say about this whole process:
Kirsch Office Staff: Courteous and efficient - Suzanne truly cares about the customers she serves.
Kirsch Technical Staff: Courteous, efficient, punctual and clean - Henry and Connor did an excellent job with the installation without leaving a mess.
The final price for the work done matched the estimated costs without any surprises. Overall I would highly recommend Kirsch Electric
We recently purchased an older home and needed to have the wiring/electrical in the entire house upgraded, and also wanted to have a few extras like a larger panel, new outlets, and additional lighting installed. Here are some of the top things we liked:
- Kirsch was very prompt to come out for an assessment and provided us with a detailed quote, breaking down and explaining the work involved and the associated costs.
- Everyone that we dealt with at the company - administrative staff as well as the technicians - were courteous and professional throughout the process. We asked a lot of questions and they were always very quick to respond and advise us.
- They made every effort to accommodate our schedule and to complete the work as quickly as possible, even coming to the house during off-hours.
- Most important: The quality and professionalism of the work. It was obvious that they care about the doing a good job. Consideration was taken not to damage walls and ceiling wherever possible, holes were patched up, lighting and fixtures installed properly, old wiring was removed where possible, panel was clearly labelled, etc.
Overall we're very happy with the work that was done and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kirsch to family and friends.

I worked with Henry, on a kitchen renovation. He did great work and seemed to be really accommodating with the homeowner and myself, working around him. I will always call him first for any electrical work I need done.
I have recently had the pleasure of working with Henry from Kirsch Electric Contracting Inc. and I would say that it was a good experience all around. He was able to communicate clearly what work was needed, how long it would take to complete, and even helped us to plan out the lighting floor plan for the basement project. He was able to complete the work in a short timeline, having our customers back in their completed space just before the Holidays. I was impressed with our experience with Kirsch Electric and will surely use them on future projects. Thanks Henry and team!
