Howieco Electric Inc.

Hired Howieco Electric in February 2012, to install retrofit halogen pots lights (23 in total) on my first and second floor. The work was done carefully, promptly, on time and on budget. Before the work began floors were covered, furniture protected and rooms that weren't part of project were sealed off. A crew of four worked on the lighting for 3 days. After the ceilings were reconstructed and painted the crew returned and installed the last 2 pot lights, all the dimmer switches and some new fixtures. I'd like to emphasize how careful, considerate and skilled their electrical team is. I gladly use Howieco again and I'm sure to recommend them to anyone I know in need of electrical work.

I would encourage those who have had electrical work done by Howieco to get the work professionally inspected. That's what we did -- and Howieco's work failed the inspection. It cost us almost as much to get an electrician in to fix their work than what we paid them in the first place. Then a few months later, thinking that we had finally put the whole ordeal behind us, we learned that the "wires that go nowhere" that Howeico removed when cleaning up the service panel were actually the power source to our commercial air conditioning unit. So, we had to fork out another several hundred dollars to have the air conditioning unit reconnected.

We are a small charity that provides support services to women. The money we paid out to Howeico was money that we had to pull from program delivery. It's a real shame! We got some of the money back - not from Howeico, but from the Electrical Safety Authority. They reimbursed us the permit fee that we never should have been charged in the first place. And one of the inspectors who came out felt so bad for us that he couldn't help but hand over a personal donation.

Happy with all aspects of the job. Ken and his crew were always responsive and highly professional. So glad to have the old knob and tube finally gone. Would not hesitate to recommend Howieco and will use them again.

Ken, Krista, AJ and crew provided among the best service I've recieved, not just from a contractor, but in any situation. They returned my call promptly (two other contractors never returned it at all), sent me a quote right away, contacted the ESA without my asking, arrived bang on time and took exactly the time estimated to finish the job. If we need more electrical work done, I'll be calling Howieco for sure.

Howieco is a company who we found is very knowledgeable with removal of knob & tube.
They followed up with us, answered all our questions & concerns when they provided their detailed quote, as the work was being done and right till the end of the job....we were very pleased with the outcome of their efficient completed work at the timeline that was quoted to us.
They are a great company with friendly helpful staff and we will definitely recommend them to others!

Howieco did a wonderful job installing a new panal and service as well as replaced and took out all the old knob and tube wiring. They took care in thier work and I will definately use them again.

My parents recommended Howieco Electric company to repair our home electrical wires. We received several quote from other local companies too and we finally decided to go with Howieco Electric. They did a good job to rewire electrical network and they also change old outlets/switches. They are professional we recommended them to all friends!

The same day I went in labour, a large tree across the street had fallen over, split our tree in half and knocked out the electrical.
Went to Homestars after getting home from the hospital and contacted a few companies and Howico Electric Inc. was the only company that returned my call. Ken and his team responded very quick. They got all permits they needed and did the repair and had them check out a few things around the house.
They finished in half the time expected.

Howie and his team were efficient, thorough, and respectful, and his customer service team is second to none! We have already had Howieco back to do some smaller jobs and will continue to use them whenever we need electrical work done.

Ken, Krista, Mat, and everyone else at Howieco are absolutely awesome people!!! Very nice, professional, and accommodating! The price is very reasonable as well. Ken was so patient and went through every room and discussed with me in detail of what I want before he gave me the quote. So reliable! When I changed my mind of a few things, the staff are very flexible. Krista is so good at communicating with me and she's always there when I needed to talk to her. Renovation is sometimes very stressful but when you find a good contractor, they make your life so much easier! I would wholeheartedly recommend Howieco to my friends and families and all those of you who are searching on the web! They are the one and they'll do a fantastic job for you!
