Electrical upgrade in older home
We recently purchased a house that was built in 1956. The inspector that we used told us that we should consider upgrading the electrical, as there were a couple of serious issues that should be addressed (required a main breaker, move the electrical mast away from the deck, etc.). He told us that Robart specializes in such upgrades, so we gave them a call.
Rob showed up, and was very professional. He examined the situation thoroughly and made sensible recommendations. I did have to remind him to email the quote to me, but I will forgive that because mistakes happen and that was a minor one. We felt the quote was very reasonable and since they were specifically recommended by our inspector (who we trusted - shout out to Chris B. at Alberta Property Inspection, he's great!), we accepted the quote with no issues.
The crew showed up on the date and time agreed, and got the work done in a shorter amount of time than I thought it would take. They had to cut unexpected extra holes in a couple of the walls to fish some lines through, but I understood because sometimes with older houses you don't know what you're getting into until you're in it.
They were even understanding about breaking up my payments into 2 chunks, because of fund transfer limitations on my bank account.
Robart did great work, fast, with reasonable rates. I would not hesitate to recommend them, or have them back in my home for more electrical work if needed.
