Repair

I called Steve for what was thought to be a breaker issue for a dishwasher. Turned out to be a short at the outlet in behind the dishwasher. Steve helped greatly.

Laughed at when I called.

I submitted the web form outlining the issue (suspected wire damage in our attic). I received no callback, so I called in inquire, in the event that my form was faulty.

As soon as the gentleman on the phone heard the issue, he said he wouldn't help because he didn't want to climb into an attic in summer temperatures (agreed and I empathized. I have some flexibility and understanding for this issue), nor did he want a fire damage charge against his liability insurance. The laughing tone with which he stated the last reason for refusing service was disheartening and unexpected. There was no opportunity for a longer discussion, no patience, no courtesy. I wish I had had the opportunity to experience their supposed excellent service; now I will have to assume the worst. Disappointing.

You cannot give a review when we never did any work for you. I kindly declined the job because we were too busy.

Replacement of light fixtures

Steve replaced 5 very old light fixtures for us, and did so quickly, cleanly, and as-quoted. Setting an appointment up was a breeze, and Steve even showed up early! I will definitely be hiring Salter Electric again in the near future.

Modifying wiring in our home to meet today's ESA requirements

I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Steven of Richard Salter Electric Ltd. There were 2 issues of immediate concern, consisting of repairing a faulty circuit that cut off electricity to half of our upper floor, and replacing overhead neon lights in a basement office. He did these tasks at our first meeting. Impressed with his work, we engaged his firm to take on a major job of modifying each outlet of our two story home affected by aluminum wiring. All workers had to meet local health regulations imposed by the current pandemic. His crew arrived in 3 weeks, moved what had to be moved, and were finished in 8 hours.
