Safety Check and General Maintenance

Terin responded to our service request on short notice. He investigated possible safety concerns we had with flickering lights in several rooms and performed a safety check throughout the house.
He replaced four outdated smoke alarms with new carbon monoxide/smoke detector units and tested them. He also replaced the fluorescent fixture in the laundry room and the task light in the kitchen.
He was professional, friendly and accommodating.
We do not hesitate in recommending his service to others.

Multiple electrical tasks

We were very satisfied. He was able to visit our home only a few days after we contacted him (for non-urgent work), commenced work immediately (same day he provided an estimate) and had finished a rather extensive list of tasks by the next day. He was extremely competent and pleasant to work with.

Electrical Expertise

Real Canadian Electric Ltd provided a safety check on my home, changed a switch and re-wired another. I was very happy with this company and received some good advice for future work. Terin even covered his shoes to prevent dirt in the house; he gets an A+ rating from me. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much.

Pot lights

We got Pot lights installed today (08-09-24) initially just getting quotes for some kitchen work. We talked about putting in pot lights in our living room, he said he could have it done same day. Price was good and went ahead with it! Definitely will be using Terin and crew for our work in the kitchen in the next month here!

Thanks again Terin, looking forward to working with you again.

Replace kitchen range receptacle and 2 pole breaker

Real Canadian Electric was incredibly responsive and attentive to all our needs. There was consistent communication as the job was taking place and many tips and education provided to keep any other electrical concerns in check. The service from this company was very professional while at the same quite friendly.

Pot light upgrade

Terin was quick to understand the type of LED bulbs we required for our pot lights to ensure they were high quality, dimmable and provided the right lighting effect for our home. We required a large number of bulbs for our entire home and he was able to source the bulbs immediately at a reasonable price. He had them installed within hours of his arriving at our home. Definitely recommend Terin for his indepth knowledge of LED bulbs and other electrical issues.

Install new outlet for appliance, and five additional outlets and two Carbon Monoxide/Smoke Alarms

I had Real Canadian Electric come out to add an outlet for a new freezer I purchased and replace four worn outlets and one outside outlet with a GFCI weatherproof outlet.
They did a very good job on completing the above work.
Terin and his apprentice arrived on time and was friendly and informative. He conducted a safety inspection on the Panel and took the time to explain all his recommendations. As a result I had him install two new additional hard wired Carbon Monoxide/Smoke Alarms.
The only issue of note is that Terin explained his recommendations as just that recommended. His written reports were more of required. It seemed the written reports were an upsell for future work, not for current safety.
Terin is likable and to his credit he is a good salesman.

Thank you for the feed back. We are always glad to be able to help make the homes we work in safer for our customers. It is always our goal to neither under state or over state safety recommendations ; but to helpfully advise based on the condition of the installations. I believe that home owners are best able to make decisions that work for them, if provided with the relevant and applicable information. Thank for trusting this project to us. We will take your comments to heart.
