COLLETTANDCO ELECTRIC

Our home has aluminum wiring and was experiencing frequent blown circuits. We contacted 4 electrical contractors, all highly rated by Home Star, for estimates. We were most impressed by Dennis's full explanations and his thorough review and testing of individual circuits and outlets before providing a written quote.

The work consisted of replacing our outdated 38 year old fuse panel with a circuit breaker panel and pigtailing all aluminum wired outlets, switches and built-in light fixtures throughout the house.

Dennis and his crew completed the work as scheduled in a clean and professional manner at the estimated cost. He was also most accomodating in incorporating late changes to our selection of switches and non-standard colors as last minute decorative improvements we requested.

I would be pleased to recommend Dennis to anyone requiring a
residential electrical upgrade.

I hired Dennis to switch out my old 'fuse box' with a new breaker box as well as fix some non-functional outlets in my house, some reverse polarity outlets, add a GFI in the basement washroom and remove some unnecessary outlets from the kitchen. From the initial quote to job completion it was a pleasure dealing with Dennis. His quote was accurate and honest, he had the foresight and experience to ensure that everything went smoothly on the day of the job and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend Global Works Electric and will use them in the future for any electrical work that I require.

I talked to a few companies about upgrading my panel from 100A to 200A and settled on Dennis at GWE because of his terrific contact and competitive pricing. He came by to do the estimate when he said he would and kept me informed while waiting for the electric company to approve. On the specified day he came by with Terry, on time, and did the work as promised. I highly recommend this company.

Simply put, one of the most knowledgeable electrical crews in the GTA.

After the grueling exercise of leaving multiple voicemails and going back and forth on price, availability etc., I finally weeded-out the “yahoos” from the serious professionals and I found Global Works Electric.

From the initial call with Dennis, it was evident that he was accountable, detailed oriented, and most importantly, was willing to take the time to answer questions and earn my business. I did my research well in advance with respect to the best-in-class equipment that I was intending on using – it was reassuring to hear that Dennis recommended the same product and we were on the same page from the get go.

My priorities were to upgrade my Panel from 100 to 200 Amp service, install dedicated lines to my microwave and garage door opener, install a Whole House Surge Suppresser at the Panel, install a handful of receptacles (GFI) and last but not least, rewire a couple of light switches where my Holmes on Homes training fell flat. (Dennis has Master Electrician training for the record).

To put things in perspective, my wife and I recently purchased our 27 year old (builder grade) home where we plan to raise our family. The mechanical of the house required some upgrades given the age. Both Dennis and Terry took the time to step us through practical, cost-conscious recommendations without compromising quality. The sense I got was that they were spending our money as if it was their own.

Above and beyond the job at hand, with an unfinished basement and planned structural changes in the existing walls, I appreciated their help in fully understanding my options as well as the long and short term significance of my decisions.(seeing the big picture)

Dennis and Terry finished the job on-time, on budget with no issues. I'd describe the overall customer experience with Dennis and Terry as unparalleled – the bonus was that they were aggressively priced and well in the ballpark.

A HomeStars hidden gem.

I hired Dennis to work with Toronto Hydro in upgrading our service from 100 amp to 200 amp. Most of the wiring work had been done when we renovated 3 years ago. I hired Global Works Electric to work with Toronto Hydro when the actual new power cables were being installed into the meter. Although Toronto Hydro was a nightmare to deal with (showing up 2+ hours late etc), Dennis was punctual and patient. His estimate was bang-on. He came with an employee, Mike--both were professional and a pleasure to have working at our home. They did a neat and tidy job and cleaned up afterwards. They were very experienced in the work that needed to be done AND in working with Toronto Hydro which was very helpful given how unreliable they were. I have a child with special needs and Dennis was unbelievably accommodating. I would recommend Dennis to anyone.

Experience working with Dennis and his team was excellent - the work was done swiftly, the price was fair. Reliable, easy communication.

It was a pleasure, and I would absolutely recommend them.

Dennis' team did a complete rewire of my house which was confusing mix of aluminum, knob and tube and poor quality do-it-your-self wiring. Dennis provided a very accurate initial estimate and kept me up to date in plain language of his daily progress. Our house was lathe and plaster, Dennis' team took great care to work neatly and to preserve the historical features of the home. The result is a newly wired historical home, without a headache.

Key reasons I have and will recommend them again
-timely and efficient
-polite and communicative
-fair priced and honest
-did not double book or juggle other projects

Dennis and the Global Works Electric crew handle all of our electrical wiring jobs, little or small, on time and on budget. From complete reno's with all new electrical to panel replacements to small repairs and code issues, they are always capable and ready handle anything we throw at them. We recommend Global Works to or customers and always hear positive reviews. Highly recommended.
