Bring 70s bungalow up to code

Professional, clean, honest, precise, excellent communication- coordination during project. Punctual and reliable. 100% recommend Chris and his team.

Excellent knowledge of his trade, handled change in plans very professionally and always remained solution focused.

Not once was he late to the job and did not leave my house in a big mess.

Workmanship was great and met expectations that were originally set. Even helped out with items not on the original agenda.

Invoices were clear and precise and broken down in perfect detail. Full visibility.

Smart switch installation

I needed help with a simple switch installation. I sent an email to Encore and Chris responded the same day. We arranged a time and a quote for the work. He arrived right on time, worked very quickly, charged me exactly what he had quoted, and was very friendly and helpfully explained what he had done etc. I would have no reservation recommending Chris to friends and will definitely call him the next time I need any electrical work done.

Bathroom renovation and general upgrades.

Chris is a well rounded person and electrician. He is efficient and his work is excellent. I have had him do several jobs around the house and have been very pleased each time. His costs are reasonable and his quotes accurate. Already planning the next upgrade at the house for Chris to take care of!

Installed wired doorbell and grounded garage wiring

Chris was a professional through and through. He knew exactly what the problem was with the garage wiring within minutes (wasn't properly grounded) and suggested multiple possible fixes. We went with a more basic approach and he did the job quickly and efficiently while asking permission for any hole he had to cut or drill.
He also setup a wired doorbell on a porch-turned-mudroom the same day. Couldn't be happier with the work — I'll be using Chris again the next time I need an electrician.

Highly Recommended

I was searching for a professional who could install ventilation fans in the washrooms of my old bungalow home (complete install and not a retrofit). I had called few people before I hired Chris and no one was able to give me a fixed quote over the phone and had lot of hidden cost or I should say bad gouging practice. Chris took the time to come to my home around 8:30 pm, despite his busy schedule. Chris explained the job and within couple of hours he sent me a quote by email that was very clear with no hidden cost and a very reasonable price. Chris installed the fans with patience and did not damage the drywall or made a mess. Chris went into my attic and did all the wiring and installation very professionally. I would highly recommend Chris because of his honesty and integrity.

Replacement of a number of light switches and electrical outlets

Chris was excellent. First, he always responded to emails promptly and he showed up on time for our appointment. He was friendly and easy to talk with and explained his work in an easy to understand manner. He was very respectful of our property, handled things that needed to be moved (e.g. pictures on wall) with great care, and he cleaned up his work areas afterward. Finally, the work is excellent; everything that he did works perfectly. I'm giving Chris the highest recommendation possible and we will most definitely recommend him to our friends.
