We got Antonio's name from this site, which has consistently provided access to excellent tradespeople. The GFCI on our hot tub fails about every year, and although I have changed it myself it's a dirty job and always seems to come at the coldest day of the year. Last year we got a quote to move it to a more conveniemt location, and the electrician (not a Homestars listing) gave us an outrageous price because he wanted to add all new wiring, junction boxes etc. So I did again myself but vowed to have it moved this fall.
Antonio came with an hour as he was in the neighbourhood. He told us why it kept failing (dampness) and suggested that we install it right at the incoming breaker panel where it's warm and easy to service. He called his supplier and gave us his pricing - which was hundreds of dollars cheaper than the previous quote. I knew the price as I had bought them before myself.
Bad weather delayed his expected install date, but he kept in touch and arrived on the first suitable day and did the work in under about an hour. Having done it before, I as very impressed with trouble he went to to clean up the area, ensure that all the connections were water tight and secure.
Obviously we will use his services again when the need arises.
