Knob and Tube Removal

Hired Captain Electric after discovering our house had knob and tube wiring. Zac and his team were friendly and professional throughout the job. We felt at ease the entire time. The work was done reliably and our house felt safe in their hands. As we worked from home during this job, the team went above and beyond to accommodate us. We were really impressed with how few holes in the walls were needed despite re-wiring our entire house (and patching after was included in the quote). Highly recommend!

Thank you Ben for posting a review on Homestars. Rewiring an older home can be a challenge. Zac and the team know through experience what to expect, and try to keep any patching to a minimum. We are happy that we could help make your home safer and more secure. Thank you for choosing Captain Electric.

Captain Electric is the best

We absolutely love Captain Electric. Have used them for several years across a variety of projects, including new wiring installation, new outlet installation, installation of new potlights, etc. You get what you pay for - and in this case you're paying for quality work, friendly, prompt and professional crew members, and a very thorough estimate / invoicing process. I love that they tell you everything about what they're doing, will give you advice on future projects, and I've never felt pushed into making a decision or buying anything. For this latest job we had new LED potlights installed in the living room, a new outlet installed behind our living room TV and some professional cable management/routing done, new circuits installed in the laundry room so that our washer and dryer were running on their own dedicated outlets, and some bathroom light fixtures installed. We are 100% satisfied and they've continued to earn our current and future business.

Electrical conundrum solved!

Tim was nothing but professional and friendly as he went around our house identifying an issue with our old aluminum/copper wiring connections. He found the issue, fixed it, and was very up front about any costs. I will absolutely call Captain Electric and ask for Tim the next time I need help with my electrical.

Aluminum wiring can be dangerous if not handled correctly. Proper connectors and compounds are used to make sure things are safe. Thank you for the review, and Tim will be happy to help you next time you call.

Aluminum Wire Rejuvenation

Today was the third time I've used the Captain Electric team for electrical services in my home. I highly recommend them! I can always get an appointment quickly; They are always on time--even on a snowy day like today. Another great feature is that all of the pricing is discussed up front, so there are no surprises. Keep up the great work... I'll be calling you again late spring to continue my wire rejuvenation project!

Thank you Anthony. Most people don't have an Electrician in to their home or business very often. We like to be as thorough as we can, because the code changes often, and there are advancements in technology that can make your Electrical system safer and more secure. We appreciate the review.

Aluminum refresh

Kevin was super knowledgeable, professional and on time. The team he brought with him were respectful of my home and completed the job in a timely manner.

Before starting the job he gave me an honest quote explaining all the options available to update the aluminum wiring and contacts in my home. I was very comfortable dealing with him and felt reassured because he has integrity and high standards. This was a very big job and I’m glad I contacted Captain Electric because they were able to bring in an army of electricians to complete the job in record time.

Emergencies can be dangerous and very annoying at the same time. We were happy to help you on the weekend and install a new panel for you. You now have a good quality, modern panel that will serve you well for many decades. Thank you for the review.
