Halton Hills Electrical Contracting

Just like the movie ....... run away as fast as you can from these guys: They are the ultimate bush league outfit. For starters:
- virtually impossible to schedule - they get there when they get there
- as soon as they arrive their dispatcher phones them to go somewhere
- work that should take a few hours takes twice as long and needs multiple visits -- which of course are impossible to schedule
- I gave them very basic projects to do - couple of GFI switches, bathroom fan and switch , relocate an unused wire ....... took forever and then I ended up with something that was working fine no longer worked after they did the work ......... and billed me to fix their mistake ....... which they blamed on the other contractor !!!!
- customer service skills are completely absent -- the owner's son handles the customer interactions ...... he needs some work
DO YOURSELF A BIG FAVOUR AND AVOID THESE GUYS AS YOU WOULD THE PLAGUE

Just had a reputable electrician come to inspect the work "Halton Hills Electric Contracting Limited" performed in our home in 2011. At this time they installed a pony panel in our swimming pool room as the regular breaker was tripping constantly. When they were done they explained the fact the breaker wasn't tripping when pushing the "test button on the new panel" Apparently that was OK. Since that Time we have blown several pool heaters (one catching on fire). We were just told everything installed by this company was unrequired and not connected properly. Therefor our house almost burnt down! Basically told we were ripped intentionally. This work was approved by an ESA inspector who walked into the house and placed a sticker on the new pony panel and walked out... 5 minutes tops. Didn't look at a thing. Which I hear is normal. I am now going to Post "Project #2" which is the scarier one!

I had halton hills electrical contracting come in to my home a couple of years ago for some minor electrical work - adding a couple of outlets and installing a bathroom fan. Shortly after they left we noticed that one of the outlets was not wired quite right and my husband was able to reconnect one of the wires to fix the minor problem (should've had them back to do that). The bathroom fan started leaking water about a year after they put it in. My husband went up in the attic and saw that the platic piping that they had used to go to one of our existing vents was laying down on the floor and full of water (condensation). We ended up getting roofers to come in and install a proper vent hole above the bathroom for the piping. As new homeowners we had no idea that what the electricians were doing with the vent was not correct. I would've much preferred them to tell me they coudln't do it or that we needed a new vent rather than deal with water damage down the road.
