NOTE: We do not do work such as RRAP Programs work - all due to (in my opinion I have seen over 20 years) some unscroupolous general contractors who hire handymen to do electrical work under a permit taken out by another unscroupolous elctrician. We are not bidding against such workers. We may or may not do such work (usually only do electrical service upgrades). If it is decided we do such work it will be only when dealing directly with the homeowners when they are the "general contractor". This will prevent shotty general moonlight contractors with a tilted rusted old half ton truck to mark up our work and charge you outragiuos prices! Our work quality does not equate with such handymen low down characters (I have met dozens over the years) often chosen by the home owners and even by the RRAP inspectors.
In any case, give us a call regarding any electrical work. We may give you some guidance, references, advice on your project even if we decide not to do it or are unable to schedule it according to your timeline.

Some more information regarding business who like to take advantage of small contractors like us!
We may, at times, also do selective commercial and industrial work, however, payments have to be strickly "PAY AS YOU GO" We do not accept work P.O. numbers to start the job or some other IMPRESSIVE number given over the phone as if to make it sound important and legitimate!. We accept only A REAL PAYMNET and paid with a certified check in Canadian currency funds only and likely to be paid in advance!. We are not in the financing business, therefore, we do not waite 90 days to get paid as some foreign people or aliens with commercial properties or business in Winnipeg or some others living in another planet would like it very much to be so!

February 24, 2004 - 'Short service calls' are probably where we do not respond emmediately due to extensive time loss on the road travelling back and forth most of the time 40 minutes each way (50 in the winter) with a fully loaded van. The customer only sees us there for 10 or 15 minutes to 1/2 hour yet more than 1/4 or 1/3 of the working day is already used up!. Further, such calls put us in a situation where the next call or the next scheduled work may be delayed or altered or cancelled or lost all due to timing, travel delays etc.
About "Free Estimates"
By telephone, all estimates are FREE! and are quite accurate!
On site Free Estimates apply only to SERVICE OR PANEL UPGRADES in residential occupancies and also applies to a TOTAL electrical heating installation in a home .
About short service calls - a better solution:
Every home (or building) built 10 years ago already needs
over 1-3 hours of CRITICAL electrical repairs and at least
another hour for safety maitenances such as tightning of the circuit breakers
screws especially where there is aluminum wiring, replace loose and worn
out switches, receptacles etc. Most homes 20 and 30 years old would need 5
- 10 hours of critical electrical repairs. Older homes usually need 2
or 5 days to over one week of critical electrical repairs to make it
intirely electrical safe for habitation!
Therefore, the following are usually the best
economical choices for a service call:
Have the
electrician do the work as per your call and ALSO spend the remaining
time - up to 3 hours checking the safety of the installation. To be
practical for everyone and especially economical for the customer, the total
time on site should be a minimum of 3 hours or part thereof
at a pre determined minimum charge to be calculated on the distance
travelling from the 'city centre.' - however expect $250.00 minimum charge for
any electrical work.
Please check here again soon for more updates, price
changes and conditions to be met for other then service upgrade
work.
