Electrical outlet and circuit breaker repair

Reached out to Ali one afternoon and he was willing to come by within 3 hours. Ended up messaging and speaking with him so he came early the next morning on time. Was able to repair the issue within an hour by replacing all the affected outlets and circuit breaker, with improved parts.

While not cheap, you get what you pay for. Would definitely recommend Ali to anyone who wants electrical repairs done quickly and right

Add new circuit breaker

Ali came to my house last Saturday to add a new circuit breaker. He was on time and explain everything that needed to be done. This was a very old house and Ali knew exactly how to run the wire through the basement ceiling to the electrical box. Ali did a great job and I would recommend him for any electrical job.

OTR Microwave hookup

I discussed my project with Ali and he came within two days. I had a microwave installed 2 years ago but not hooked up. Ali took great care with making the minimal cuts into my drywall. He is such a professional, extremely knowledgeable and efficient. I was so impressed watching him, I told him that I would have a hard time keeping my rating to 5 stars. I would not hesitate to recommend Ali to my friends and family. I had read the previous Home Star reviews before choosing Direct Electric and Ali did not disappoint. I highly recommend Direct Electric, Ali will be there on time and give your project his full attention. In his words “he treats your home like his own”. Call Ali, you will be very happy with his service!

Kitchen Renovation, Installation of receptacle for EV charging

Ali is prompt and professional. The previous general contractor made a mess of the wiring in the kitchen when we removed a kitchen wall. I cancelled the electrical contract with our previous contractor and called Ali, he showed up in 30 minutes, spent 6 hours redoing the wiring in the kitchen and explained everything and made sure everything was compliant and met the electrical code standard.
I had to call Ali again to do electrical wiring in my garage for my EV and he did the sub-panel wiring for the EV and installed a 240 volt receptacle in the garage.
He also helped us fix a major power outage at home, the main breaker was old and malfunctioned, he arrived the next day, arranged emergency ESA inspection and got the utility company to disconnect and reconnect.
I’ve recommended him to my friends and colleagues and everyone has had a positive experience with his work snd I highly recommend him for any electrical work.

Replace light fixtures

I took a chance by finding an electrician on Google and I was extremely fortunate! Ali is a true professional whose work is outstanding. Some of the fixtures had many parts and he handled it with ease. He worked neatly, tidied up after each installation and offered to throw the garbage away. I would highly recommend him and will be using his services in the future.

Pre-renovation work - Ali is the best!

We were having built ins put in our library and the millwork people needed the electrical outlets that would have ended up behind the shelves extended and properly housed in boxes. We also needed the light switch moved to the other side of the wall due to the shelves.

I called Ali and he came the next day, prompt and professional and ready to work. He wanted to fully understand the purpose of the work and made sure I understood how to instruct the millwork people to do their job safely. He was quick and tidy and helpful. We encountered a problem when testing all the work so he inspected my panel. He found that I had not only two faulty breakers, but the person who installed the panel gave me USED ones!!!!

Ali fixed everything I asked him to do and more and was courteous and professional throughout. I wouldn't have any other electrician back to do work for me, as he was knowledgable as well as affordable. He clearly takes great pride in his trade and his work shows it.

Electrical Panel Upgrade

Recently Ali replaced our aging electrical panel.
He is professional , courteous and offered excellent advise on the project. Ali arrived early and was prepared to start immediately after the hydro shut off. The job was finished in a timely manner and passed inspection within minutes. His efficiency certainly minimized the disruption of hydro service to our home.
We have used Ali’s services for both smaller and larger electrical jobs. He approaches both in the same knowledgeable, attention to detail manner. Need an electrician then look no further than Direct Electric.

Garage Outlet Reapir

I had an emergency on Canada Day as my garage power had gone out and I couldn't open or close the garage door ( that luckily had been left open as I had plugged in my lawn mower and it looks like it tripped the breaker and I was very concerned as we keep our car and a few other items in the garage.

I had contacted a few companies but due to the holiday the earlier they were able to schedule an appointment was the next day ( which would have been too late).

I call Ali. He was very courteous and accommodating and showed up within about half an hour. We did some extensive diagnostics to determine why power wasn't going to the garage ( while all other rooms had power on).

He determined the root cause while keeping me in the loop, as well as offered optional equipment replacement.

I was extremely relieved after the the issued had been resolved in a timely manner by Ali.

Thanks a million, Ali!

Panel upgrade

Ali is very professional and knowledgeable electrician. I did a panel upgrade and some rewiring. The job was clean and price is reasonable. He gave honest advice on other electrical stuff as well. The ESA inspector passed the job in 5 mins. He explained all the materials he used and he always uses high quality materials and doesn't cut any corners. If you are looking for a good licensed electrician look no further.
