Fan installation, ceiling light installation, EV charging point installation

Jennifer & team installed a number of ceiling lights, fans and an EV charging point at a very reasonable price, with no issues and in a decent timeframe. I would have no problem recommending them to anyone.

Pot Lights

I had pot lights installed by Forsyth Electrical and they were fantastic to work with. Very safe and respectful and completed the job quickly. My basement looks great and I am very happy with the finish result.

renovation

We decided to finish the last 300 square feet of a reno we had started 10 years ago. A call to Forsyth brought a quote we were happy with. The reno was delayed numerous times, always our fault, or another supplier, but every time we asked to schedule the next visit, Jennifer at Forsyth responded quickly and had Emily out within 3 days. Work was done well, on time and on budget and we would recommend Forsyth to anyone looking for quality, certified work and timely completion with no hidden costs. Thank you team Forsyth

Misleading

Forsyth Electrical are extremely misleading. They charged for 4 hours from 08:00 to 12:00 but they actually turned up at 08:51 and left at 11:37. They claimed it took 51 minutes for their contractors to clock into the office and then drive 3km to my residence. As well, we were quoted $75 per hour but when there were two contractors on site, they said each of them require $75 per hour so we were charged $150 per hour. That is the most expensive electrician in Ontario.

DO NOT USE FORSYTH ELECTRICAL!

We had a recent bad experience with them, as they took their time and then overcharged. The contractor we were using (who doesn't do electrical) said the work should only take about 2hrs, but for a professional it may even take less. We were shocked with 4hrs claimed service and a bill of $650. Even when I booked my appointment, I told them the work I needed, and they also agreed (at first) that it should be approx 2hrs.

They train their staff to say replies like "We will take your credit card number for now, but if you're not happy with the invoice amount, you can call our office in the morning". Although I did call, Joe's response was simply that the work had been done and completed, so he does not see any issue. As suspected, NOTHING was rectified however the credit card was IMMEDIATELY processed. I would highly recommend you find an honest electrician who acknowledges that they are there on customer time, and not work slow as molasses, and go to their truck like 12x to get materials

First Review

8/10

Professional and reliable

Firstly the receptionist actually picked up the phone and was very nice and not rushed. She cared about my needs. Then two nice gentlemen showed up and did about 5 jobs in 2 hours! They were knowledgable and professional, and reliable.
