Electrilight

This service was accurate, friendly, neat and fast. I will absolutely use them next time I need an electrician.

We hired Electrilight to install additional circuits and outlets in a finished basement room. Robert the owner was very professional and responsive in quoting and scheduling a date toncomplete the work. It was necessary to cut through drywall in multiple places which was done very neatly, making it easy for us to replace and repair the drywall. Robert was able to quickly arrange an inspection and the job site was clean and orderly when he left Would certainly recommend this company and use them again.

We have been using ElecTriLight for all our electrical needs for the last couple of years. We would not consider using anyone else now.
They hit all the marks for a great contractor : responsive, quality work, at a good price, the work fully explained, and punctual to a fault. Overall, such a pleasure to deal with.

We called Robert to come and check out a home before we purchased it and honestly from there I was blow away at how professional he is and always on time or before any appointment. He was the deciding factor for us buying the home. He gave a very fair price on replacing the old fuse panel and changing all the old outlets and switches to all brand new. I will always have him at any house we have and wouldn’t recommend anybody else but Robert to do the work. I can sleep well at night knowing that electrical in the house is awesome. Thank you for everything.

Used Homestars to establish a shortlist of electricians for a few jobs which exceeded my skill-set. Robert turned up on day 1 for the quote and demonstrated his knowledge, professionalism and experience right away. Hired him on the spot.

Installed 9 potlights in the kitchen, repositioned a ceiling light in the dining room and installed 3 smoke / CO alarms. His prices are fair, he is uber-efficient, ruthlessly methodical, punctual, affable, proud of his work and he looks after your home as he would his own.

Robert even educated me on why the ESA exists, when (as a foreigner) I asked why the ESA even exists and aren't they just another sinister and nefarious money-grabbing scheme perpetrated by a monopolistic pseudo governmental entity. Not many trade professionals would take the time to shine the light of knowledge upon a client's profound lack of it.

Suffice to say the subsequent ESA Inspection passed with flying colours and I am putting together my next consignment of electrical jobs for Robert for 2019. Simply cannot countenance using anyone else.

Rob Macdonald

We had used Rob in the past for some general electric work in our home. We recently hired him again as we purchased a new hot tub and needed it wired and hooked up. Rob was responsive, and worked around our schedule to get the job done. He managed the permit and inspection. We will continue to trust Rob with all our future electrical needs. We highly recommend him.

I needed a number of things looked after when I bought a house. Robert came out, on time, super professional and efficient and friendly, and wired a new fixture, among other small jobs. I then had him come out to replace my circuit board.

Outstanding work, minimum disruption to me, very good job.

Robert is someone I would recommend without hesitation to anyone. He is a pleasure to work with - he is a great electrician, fair in price, punctual, sticks to his timeline, stands behind his work, and is respectful to your home. Inspections passed with no issues at all. If we ever need an electrician again we won't ask anyone else. (We had some minor issues with defective bulbs and Robert investigated with the supplier and came back two times to replace them. Who else would do that?) Electrical wiring is an important job and Robert you can trust.

We required a fair amount of electrical work to be completed after a fire at our home. We met Robert McKinnon through our contractor, who brought him in to do the electrical work. I cannot say enough about the service that Robert provided. He was extremely pleasant and professional, and provided us with very helpful advice and information. Through all stages of work he kept us informed, including explaining the inspection process. We would not hesitate to recommend Robert to anyone looking for an electrician.

I found Robert McKinnon of Electrilight Ltd on HomeStars. Despite Robert being a new member to the site I was impressed by his comments on the Forum which made him stand out. Robert has been there when we needed him and he had no hesitation in working on a job started by our regular electrician and did not finger point or whine about anything. This was important to us as we need real trades to do real work without being primadonas. Being in the construction Industry so long you become jaded and almost have to brace yourself for problems with new workers or sub-contractors. Robert it has been a pleasure to work with you and I have no hesitation in referring you to our clients and hope that you will continue to serve us and our clients with the same attitude, the positive attitude you have now. We also thank you for finding that other questionable work done by the previous owner and for keeping the present owners safe.
Truly,
Gordon Thomas Bailey
