Friendly advice

We had some trouble with under counter lights in our kitchen. We had used a different electrician for the initial installation and weren't thrilled with the service. I tried Salter based on reviews and their bio. I explained the problem and what I had already done to try to address it. Salter explained that a service call would be $150, but that maybe I should try one more thing first. Well I did and it worked.

Now, they didn't have to give out free advice, but they saved me $150. The call was friendly, responsive and truly helpful. The next time I need an electrician, Salter will be the company that I call.

Electric box separated from house

Steve was professional, clearly knowledgeable, and reliable. He coordinated with Ottawa Hydro and the ESA and got the job done in a timely manner. He was patient with my questions and responded in a timely manner. I would call him again for future electrical needs and would recommend him to friends.

Circuit breaker problem

I had a circuit breaker overload problem and when I called Richard Salter Electric they told me that they could be there in 40 minutes. They were good for their word and took care of the problem within 15 minutes. Richard gave me good advice on how to avoid the problem in the future. Their prices are competitive and reasonable. I would definitely use them again and would recommend them for any electrical issues that you may have.

Stove rewiring

What fabulous service! After another company couldn't follow through with their promise I phoned Salter Electric at 9:00 this morning and Steve was on the job by 10:50. They're in Orleans so very convenient. He had asked me to describe the problem over the phone so he brought the part with him. So fast, so efficient and so reasonable. Excellent service that I will use again and again. Many thanks, Steve!

Wiring/Ceiling Fan Installation

Salter Electric ran the wiring and installed a ceiling fan in the master bedroom of our house. The contractor's installers arrived on time. They dealt with all obstacles efficiently and professionally. They cleaned up debris after the work was done and were very pleasant to deal with.
Salter Electric was competitive in cost and I would recommend contacting Salter Electric for electrical work.

panel, copper tip, kitchen

I emailed Salter Electric after several months of a kitchen renovation nightmare. Steve called me about an hour later and came to my home the same day. Two weeks later (because that was the first available Hydro Ottawa booking) the job was done. They changed my panel from fuses to breakers, copper tipped all outlet and switches, checked all ceiling lights and wired my kitchen. Showed up exactly as stated at 7:15 and left 10 minutes earlier than promised at 2:50pm. Polite, friendly, efficient guys and I can't thank them enough for a job well done.
