Knob and Tube Replacement , Pot Lights
Kia and his team completely re-wired our 80 year old Toronto home.
Last year we hired an electrician to replace the knob and tube in the upper portion of the house. The electrician completed the upstairs but told us some of the switches still needed work. Our approach was to re-wire the house in phases so we accepted that some of the switches would need to be done in a later phase. This winter I went up to the attic to add some insulation and discovered wires everywhere, including new wiring connected to knob and tube. Also, we later discovered that the electrician added an electrical panel in a closet, which is not to code. We tried to find the electrician to come back and fix the mess but could not track him down.
We called a few contractors and some didn't want to take the job or suggested massive damage to our house was required. After meeting with Kia and listening to his approach. We decided to completely replace all the knob and tube in the house (approx. 85% of our wiring was knob and tube).
Kia provided a competitive quote with assurance on minimal damage and complete inspection and certification. He also guaranteed his work. Kia and team replaced all of our knob and tube and redid the work the previous electrician did. After they were completed we found one outlet not working and Kia returned to fix it the same day I called. In addition to the knob and tube replacement, Kia's team added pot lights and replaced light fixtures.
We are very pleased with the work Kia did. On time and on budget with no surprises; Kia and his team did everything they said they would. This is the best contractor experience we've had and I would recommend Kia to anyone.
