Ring Electric

I cannot say enough good things about this company - they exceeded all my expectations.

I had a long list of repairs to be done on our recently purchased house generated by our building inspector. One was a dangerous exterior problem that involved Hydro Ottawa cutting the power to our home while the repair was done. I called 3 companies and got quotes and Ring was not the most expensive quote.

When reviewing the services and costs I noted the charge for Ottawa Hydro ranged from 450.00 to over 600.00 between the three quotes, Ring's was the lowest and the only one included in the quote (making Ring's total the lowest overall cost.) I liked the fact that Ring Electric would look after all the coordination with Hydro Ottawa, and cover payment to Hydro and I would not have to do a thing. They also had high recommendations on Homestars, so I hired them.

They set the first date Hydro Ottawa had available, let me know what time period our house would have no power, and three electricians arrived promptly that morning.

After a rundown of the to do list and a few more items I had added (such as lighting installation) they got to work and did a bang-up job. They consulted me on outlet placement, fixtures and preferences, and made sure I got exactly what I wanted.

I added several more items throughout the day and each one they happily did, no humming and hawing like I have experienced from other companies about the change of plans and add ons. They were eager to do the extra services.

Another member of Ring Electric dropped by at one point in the day and without me even asking, he made an excellent recommendation for lighting in a room that has been bothering me since we moved in. He nailed the problem in the room and had the perfect solution. He even offered to have the crew do the work right then and there - which would have kept the them there way past dinner time!

The crew were professional, friendly, courteous, and respectful from start to finish and I would highly recommed Ring Electric to anyone needing any kind of electrical work.

I will definitely get them back soon to do the recommended changes in the bothersome room (the crew was so nice I didn't want to make them work past dinner that day) and anything else I can dream up for our house's lighting.

I had expected with all the additional switches, plugs and light fixtures being fished through the walls we would have some minor painting and drywall fixes to be done afterwards but there is none, because Ring was so careful. That was a big relief since I just had our entire house re-painted!

Also of note: the guys wore booties all the time they were in the house and their cleanup was par excellence - my house was cleaner after they left than when they arrived and there were no forgotten scraps needing to be trashed - perfect.

After the guys left I walked around marvelling at how our home felt like a new place with all the changes they made. Lots of beautiful light and all the switches in the right places.

Some of the services Ring did:
- replaced outdoor electrical box - casing had come apart & exposed wiring (had Hydro Ottawa inspect after and certify)
- added several new plug outlets in various rooms
- changed added and coordinated light switches
- installed track lighting to kitchen, and overhead lighting to bedroom, exterior lights (to brick walls)
- fixed and replaced badly installed sensor lights to house exterior
- fixed dryer outlet, reversed polarity outlets (or GFI's?), replaced several unoperational outlets,
- added outlets in garage to replace dangerous extension cords
- added breakers to our electrical box for our sump pump & backup and installed new outlet for them, hung power bar on the wall to get it off the basement floor
- installed cable outlet in wall (Rogers had strung it up through a heating vent)
- and more.

These guys can and will complete all your electrical issues!

Thanks Ring Electric! I will see you again soon!
