Gord's Electric

This is the third job Scott has done for me. He is always prompt, courteous, explains everything and his rates are very reasonable. He is absolutely meticulous about his work and I have complete confidence that everything is done right. On the last job he solved a problem with a two way switch that hadn't worked since it was installed by someone else. I highly recommend this company.

Gord's Electric was recommended by an electrical supply company. I called and left a voice mail a few days before Christmas Day regarding flickering lights and power surging. Within 2 hours the owner, Scott, returned my call and explained he was busy but he arranged a day he would come out. Scott was friendly and explained his rates on the phone. Upon his arrival Scott was courteous and was very thorough in determining what the issue was and made the necessary repairs. Scott was very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend him. A true and honest Master Electrician.

I recently needed to have some pot lights installed. It wasn't a large project and trying to find an electrician was disheartening. I found Gord's Electric on the internet and sent an email. I received a response promptly and had a meeting with Scott within a few days. The project was completed professionally, on time, and at the quoted cost. I would recommend Gord's Electric to anyone requiring a professional electrician.

Scott was great. Straightforward and upfront about the pricing. Friendly, professional, and got the job done quickly with no fuss. Wouldn't hesitate to hire him again, or to recommend him to anyone.

Scott responded to my call quickly and was efficient and thorough in doing the repair. My dryer had stopped working because it didn't have enough power.

He explained everything and was honest, respectful and fair.

I will definitely call him again.

Scott from Gord's Electric provided fantastic service and always made sure I was aware of all my options before proceeding. The service was great and so was the price! I will not hesitate to use Gord's Electric again and will recommend them to friends and family for sure.

Thanks for your help Scott!

I called Scott to get a couple of outside lojghts installed. He was quick to return my call and setup a time to come to the house.
While here he discovered a small issue.
Scott installed 2 outside lights and fixed the small problem. He was very efficient and tidy.
I would highly recommend Gord's Electric to anyone requiring electrical work.

I purchased a wrecked 1970's condo with aluminum wiring. Scott was very supportive helping me figure out what 'safety inspection' I needed in order to satisfy my home insurance company's requirements. They were not clear about this. Turns out I needed an ESA Safety Inspection done, thank you Scott! Scott fulfilled the requirements set out by the ESA inspector and I decided, over and above, to have each and every electrical termination point in my condo checked for safety as well as have Scott install all new receptacles and outlets. Scott also explained many interesting electrical safety facts to me which has helped me better understand aluminum wiring as well as pointing out potential electrical hazards outside the original scope of work which he encountered during the termination point check and which Scott was not compelled to tell me about, but he did. I feel extremely comfortable with the electrical aspect of my condo being in Scott's hands. Thanks.

Gord's Electric has provided both prompt and first class service on several occasions. Master electricial Scott, is friendly, personable, and happy to explain any intricacies in language a layman can understand. It is comforting to know you are dealing with a straight shooter and someone who doesn't sugarcoat or cut corners.

If you are looking for a reliable, experienced, and professional electrician, look no further.

Well it began as a simple problem. I was told an hourly rate and went with this. However, I watched the clock tick away as he went all over the house (outside of the problem) finding more and more problems (minor things that he embellished into hugely dramatic affairs). It really felt like he was taking advantage of the fact that I am not an electrician, that I am a woman, and that he could drag out the bill while I waited for the problem to be fixed. He took hours, going all over the house, looking into all sorts of things outside of the problem he was called in for. Then suddenly, nothing was fixed it was 3.5 hours later and he needed to come back. $$$$$$$$

By the end I was already owing $400 and the problem was not even close to fixed and he kept adding on more problems that were actually quite minor. I really had a sense that he was looking for more issues in order to drag out the time he was there and therefore rack up the bill. Suddenly my Panel needed work and I would need a permit etc. So another appointment was booked (I was made to feel that the safety of my house was in jeopardy if I didn’t fix it). This ended up miraculously not being that case and the panel was fixed in 10 minutes and no permit was needed….still that visit ended up extending into a two hour job regardless, as he decided to fix this and fix that…still all of these not a part of what he was originally called in for.

So he ended up “fixing” the original problem but told me that it wasn’t actually fixed (after 4.5 hours of work) so that I would need him to come back, AGAIN, to take down cupboards and potentially rip out drywall???!!! I decided that this was enough and asked for the bill (a whopping $400- for not having my problem actually fixed). Then I received the invoice and on it he included these things that he wanted to fix- on the invoice for the work done. When we spoke he threatened to report me to the electrical board if I didn’t have him back in? Seriously? So from my perspective this was a serious ploy to ensure that he would be able to do more work and rack up even more extensive and seemingly ridiculous bills. When we spoke he was rude to me, arrogantly quoting denotations to terms and phrases…the root of the work quote etc. So disrespectful and rude. I put him on speaker phone and my family listened and were absolutely appalled by how he spoke to me. Call another electrician!

Also he talks non-stop…telling all sorts of fables and antics about his life and others and the whole time has the clock running. He stayed gabbing to me about other clients and then had the audacity to add on 5 extra minutes……this had nothing to do with my house or work needed. So ridiculous. Out of the initial 3.5 hours, 45 minutes were due to discussions about unrelated things.
If you call him in for a minor repair, he will extend everything in order to make as much money as possible from you! You would assume that I have knob and tube wiring by the way he went on but my house is actually 13 years old. I am going to the BBB with this one.
