Canadian Industrial Services

Used them for a large project ($10,000+). Then tried to book them for a smaller home project. Called over 6 times over a 6-month period. Their electrician missed both appointments. When I called to ask where he was he told me he wasn’t coming and blamed his office. When I said he just lost my business...he replied ‘cool’. Called the office and their admin person blamed me for not being available. Not true! Don’t touch these people!

On January 25, 2018, ,Canadian Industrial Services Electrical Contractors, was hired to install two fluorescent light fixtures, a 4 ft fixture in the basement (I supplied the newly purchased fixture & fluorescent bulbs) & a 3 ft fixture over the kitchen sink which had to be purchased from Gilmours Home Hardware which is located less than 5 minutes away. I already had a new 3 ft fluorescent bulb which I told the electrician to use. The original fixtures had to be removed from the ceilings.

I was appalled when I received the invoice ($241.68+$31.42 tax =$273.11)

I was charged 3 hours for labour plus recharged for the 3 ft fluorescent bulb as well as nickeled & dimed for screws, anchors, marrettes, connector.

When I complained The receptionist said that she told me upfront that I would be charged for two electricians which was never mentioned. If I had known what they would charge to install the two fixtures I would never have hired Canadian Industrial Services.

In my opinion this is not a Senior Friendly business, they overcharged, treated me rudely when I enquired as to why installing two simple fixtures required Two electricians, did not attempt to readjust the invoice & charged me for my own fluorescent bulb which they said they didn’t use but is missing.

I would not recommend Canadian Industrial Services, Electrical Contractors, for any private home electrical service.
