Electrical repair

We were desperate during the ice storm in Toronto to have our power back. We received 4 quotes from various electrical companies ranging from $2500 and up.
Also, none could come for at least a week
We called acelectrical and not only did we get prompt service and quality workmanship but price wise, they were very good. I was so impressed with their complete service in our time of need, I would not hesitate to refer them to family and friends. I know they will be our electrical company moving forward.

Replacing lighting fixtures

I recently had AC Electrical come into my home to replace two track lighting units with new fixtures. I cannot speak highly enough about this company. Jim, the electrician, worked efficiently and he was pleasant and respectful.

• He installed my fixtures – they work great.
• The cost was reasonable.
• He took the old fixtures and packaging away.
• His work comes with a solid guarantee.

I really trust AC Electrical. They are my go-to company for anything electrical. I would highly recommend this company. Using a licensed electrician is so much easier and less stressful than having a family member do the work. It is safer too! Having an electrical company that I trust gives me peace of mind.

Rejuvenating of aluminium wiring

AC Electrical renewed my faith in contractors !

Nick was here same day to quote the job, his price was fair, and he impressed me with his honesty, and candor.

The job entailed replacing the existing fuse panel with a new panel of circuit breakers, updating all connections ( sockets and switches ), including disconnecting each connection where aluminum wiring was present, applying anti-oxidant compound , pig-tailing copper wire to the aluminum with new connectors, and re- installing with new switches and plugs. They also added a new circuit ( one receptacle ) in my furnace room, where none had existed, and replaced two 2 Ft. fluorescent fixtures in my basement with two new 4 Ft. fixtures .

When Nick first came to quote the job, we walked through the house counting switches and plugs, and from that he generated a price. When his electricians were doing the work it was discovered that part of the house had previously been renovated using copper wire , so no updating was required , the electrician (Jim ) brought it to my attention ( he could have said nothing ) . Nick adjusted his invoice accordingly bringing down his original quote from $3900.00 (tax in) to $3200.00 saving me $700.00.
The electricians Jim and Dillon were extremely professional , and courteous, never objecting to my asking questions, and watching over their shoulders. They cleaned up and took with them all the old switches and plugs for recycling.
They arrived a little early, and left a little late, in order to complete the job in one day instead of the day and a half that was expected!

I was a Purchasing Agent for forty years, I am good at assessing people, and these people are great !

Nick, Melissa, Jim, and Dillon thanks for doing such a great job !

Install pot lights, hang chandelier.

We could not have been more pleased with the service we received from AC Electrical. From the initial contact with Melissa in the office, to the initial quote from Mike the electrician, and right up to the completion of the job we received nothing but a professional, courteous, friendly and expert service. The initial quote was done within a few hours of my first call, and the work itself was complete less than a week later.
Mike quoted on a number of projects which we were interested in, and he was competitive in his pricing and realistic and helpful about some of the issues involved. Later, on the phone, Melissa was very helpful in explaining the pricing and exactly what would be involved. On the day, Mike and his partner were fast, clean, tidy and respectful of our property. They were very good at working around our two babies, which can be quite a chaotic experience! Most importantly, the job was of fantastic quality. The chandelier was hanging within a few minutes, and looks great. The six pot lights were installed in the bedroom before the end of the day, with a dimmer switch and two bedside wall switches. They look great and it was scarcely possible to tell that the guys had even been there. The finished work will enhance our daily lives really and improve the value of our house.
It was a rare delight to work with AC Electrical and we will definitely use them again for future projects!

Replacement of four-pronged electrical wall socket for clothes dryer

Called this company to explain the problem but had to leaver a voice mail message. My call was returned within the hour, and most courteously. Head electrician offered the most reasonable and logical solution to the wiring problem we were experiencing. Spokesperson Melissa explained that an electrician would come to our house, assess the job and then quote me an exact price before any work began. Mike, the electrician, did exactly as Melissa said he would. Not only did he reconnect the electrical box in a neat, efficient and timely manner, he also brought in a broom to clean up any residue resulting from his work, and then took that residue away with him! He did a splendid job in less than two hours. I will absolutely keep his AC Electrical Contractors business card on our bulletin board for future reference.

Thank you for taking the time to review the service offered by our company, and thanks for leaving a message when you called. Although we are always in the office from 7:30 am to 5:00 or 6:00 pm Monday to Saturday; sometimes talking uninterruptedly with valuable clients takes precedence and we have to let incoming calls go to voice mail. As in your case, we always check our messages and respond to every client.
As in your case, sometimes moving the location of an existing plug is necessary to accommodate your appliances or furniture and that is where AC Electrical can help because we primarily work in residences like yours and can make recommendations based on our experience.
Your testimonial explains the process of getting a certified electrician from “Your Home Electricians”™, to your home. By you taking your valuable time to detail every aspect of your experience with us, you have helped potential clients make an informed decision about hiring AC Electrical because they will know what they can expect when they call us as well.
Once again, thank you for your comments.

Electrical Repair/Trouble shooting

Exterior power outlets and kitchen light were out so we called AC as they had GREAT reviews on this site. From initial contact I could tell that this was a well run and professional group. Jim came out and was also prompt and professional. He was really quick and able to diagnose the issues very quickly. My only complaint was the pricing...I do realize that generally speaking it can be costly to get the trades out to assist when we are in need of aid...that being said, this may be a typical or even inexpensive service.

Thank you for your feedback Keith; we appreciate you taking the time to add a review to our profile. Homestars it a great site and as you know, it reflects true opinions about our work.
As you mentioned in your review, you appreciated our well run and professional organization. We have been in business for over 25 years and it’s only because of valuable clients like you that we have been able to do that. Our mission is to be a trustworthy and efficient, residential, electrical service provider who can install and maintain systems to get them current and keep them safe. We make every effort to achieve our mission as Jim did when he came to your home. This included, having a live person to talk to when you called our office, having our trucks fully stocked with thousands of parts, dealing with our trained team, and offering the industry leading warranty of three years to life-time, on every installation.

As a direct result of his extensive training and many years of experience, Jim performed a diagnosis of the circuit that was not working. After opening various points, and some investigation, he found the problem in a burnt out lamp holder of a light being powered in the faulty circuit. He eliminated a fire hazard in our home and was able to restore the circuit to a good and safe condition, in a timely manner.
We feel our prices reflect the value given and hope you sense the same thing. Thank you once again for your comments.

DIY Gone Wrong

It is a classic story - we replaced old dimmer switches in the kitchen and then turned our attention to the bathroom. Only to find once we were into it that whomever wired the room last was --- shall we say --- creative.

We needed professional help, so we turned to Nick and team at AC Electrical. Said Salim was right on time for our 0800 appointment and was pleasant, positive and efficient. Next time I have an electrical job that needs professional help, I'd happily call AC Electrical and request Said.

It is amazing what we as qualified electricians find hidden behind the walls in residential electrical systems.
When some amateurs guess at the installation method needed to install a dimmer switch or any type of electrical device, they don’t realize the potential fire or shock hazard that they are creating. As you were kind enough to mention in your testimonial, it is always safest to let professionals like Said or any AC Electrical electrician, do all installations or repairs. This way, you can rest assured the installation is safe, meets all code requirements and is warrantied for three years. Thank you for your much appreciated feedback.

AC Electrical was able to install the generator and deal with a few minor problems in a very professional manner. They did a great job as always.
It is always a pleasure dealing with Nick and his staff.

Thank you for taking the time to give your valuable feedback regarding the generator installation. Generators are a vital part of all efficient residential electrical systems. It really helps potential clients to have honest feedback from likeminded current clients, before making an investment in protecting and upgrading their home’s electrical system. Once again, thank you, we appreciate your review.

Various -- wiring, potlights, light installation, etc.

This is the second time I have used AC Electrical and cannot recommend them enough. Mike, the electrician who worked in my home yesterday, was excellent. Great work. Great explanations. And went the extra mile to make sure we were happy. He was efficient and a really lovely person. I couldn't be happier with the experience i have had with AC. So glad I chose them the second time, too!!! Would not hesitate to hire this company for a big job, not for a moment.
