B & R Electric

My general contractor hired them to do electrical on medium sized renovation. All the wiring in the main floor had to be replaced (very small house, all the walls were open). Anyhow, I can't fault them too much for the quality of their completed work, but they seem to come to the site unprepared, requiring return trips. Still need to come back to finish a couple things. I asked them a couple times to label the electrical panel - which would seem like a standard thing to do when you re-wire a house. Still waiting for that. I'm sure there are better electricians out there.

I recently purchased a condo in downtown Toronto. I had planned to renovate the kitchen and when I started the demo I discovered that there once had been a handy (or not so handy!) man that lived here. I pulled out the exhaust hood in the kitchen and discovered that it was plugged into a power bar that was hidden inside the duct work. The power bar had the plug cut off the end of it and it was hard wired into a BX cable. My sister recommended this company to me and they were able to send Kevin within a few days. When he arrived, he said this was maybe the second worst wiring he had ever seen...not so comforting for a first time homebuyer!! At any rate he found several issues the first day and cut power to make the lines safe. He also disconnected the surround sound stereo that had been installed in the bathroom. On the second day, he came with an assistant and the two of them cleaned just about everything up. They found several extension cords that had been hard wired into the electrical system, some of which had burn marks on them because they were running though a pipe chase. They replaced outlets and hung fixtures and came back for a third visit to hook up my new appliances once they were in place. All in all Kevin was a delight to deal with, he had a great sense of humour and helped to put my mind at ease. I would not hesitate to use this company again and I would totally recommend them to anyone who asks!

Barry and his crew are great. I have used him on a few jobs now and they have came through each time. guys show up when you need them to, and are great with clients

Needed to have Electricians report due to insurance company for a few things after new house purchase. B&R was recommended to us by my parents condo. Barry came out almost immediately - we needed the report around thanksgiving - he was here with some guys the thursday before thanksgiving. Three guys were here all day putting in all new receptacles and switches - we also needed some updates at the electrical panel - dedicated lines etc. and the removal of one knob and tube wire. The quote for all the work was about 1200, but when they guys got here they ran into a few more issues that they recommended be fixed for safety issues - it ended up being about 500$ more - that was a bit disappointing - but the work was done well and they were very honest and straightforward about what should be done and why and i liked that! They gave me the option to go ahead with the extra fixes or not before actually charging. Would defo recommend to a friend! Have booked again already for another upgrade.
