Crown Electric Ltd

just now-Edit
Have used Crown many times over the years and was always happy until the most recent job where they totally ripped me off!!! $1800 for two light switches and a charging station install!!

First off, two master electricians were sent at a billable rate of $125 per hour EACH. In the past John the owner always sent an apprentice helper with his licenced guy.. I guess that day his two most senior guys were standing around with nothing to do so he decided to send them to me.

First off, they showed up on the WRONG day. We were booked for another day that week. It was my fault I didn't hear the doorbell apparently and they sat in their truck for 10 minutes and so felt the need to start their bill on the clock half an hour before single tool came out of the tool box -- Colin claimed it was my fault for not answering the door. THEY SHOWED UP ON THE WRONG DAY! And did not call first either.

The work took far longer than expected. Two master electricians working together tooK 3.5 hours to install a car charging station with an easy 15 foot cable run that went through one dry walled wall from the electrical room to the garage. Checked on them several times over the hours to find them standing around, on their phones and not working at the pace I'm used to from Crown. Two experienced guys should not take 7 man hours to do this. It was appalling. Two years ago in another house Crown's guy with his apprentice accomplished the same task and more in less time.

In all they were at my house for about 5 hours. $1800 later I'm footing Crown's bill to keep two of their senior guys busy on a slow day. Was very angry and felt taken advantage of. I especially loved getting charged the extra half hour for not hearing the door bell, which (in fact was only about 10 minutes- again, on the WRONG DAY). That's $125 for absolutely nothing.

I spoke to John, the owner and was told he would look into it and call me back. He never did. I've given Crown my business for several years and they have always been jobs >$1000 for hot tub wiring, car chargers, etc. Never again! You guys blew it. Super disappointing. DO NOT USE THEM!!!!

I have been using Crown Electric for many years. They recently installed two motion sensor lights outside, installed two timer switches inside. I live in a home which is almost 65 years old, with old wiring, and plaster walls, so electrical projects aren't always easy. Mike did the work and everything I needed to have done, was completed and he did a great job. I use Crown for all my electrical needs and recommend them to family and friends.

The house I had moved into last summer needed some small electrical jobs done to change how some the original wiring had been completed and to also make it more enjoyable in many ways. I had reached out to a few companies for quotes - some I never even heard back from ("job too small", "we're too busy"). But John wrote back and eagerly set up a time for a quote.

When he came out, he was great to deal with, talked everything through so we could understand clearly what the job would entail and also provided advice of a) how to do things properly and b) where there were ways to save costs. We decided to go ahead with Crown and they came out the next week.

The guys who came were also great to work with and did a great job and just like was quoted. They also made sure to clean up their work areas so a mess wasn't left after they'd gone.

We have since enjoyed new lights over our kitchen sink, live circuits added to bedroom ceiling fixtures so fans can run independently of the light switch and the en suite switches are now more conveniently located.

Great job done by John and the guys and at a great price (and as quoted).

Thanks to everyone at Crown Electric. I'd certainly recommend them and will use them again in future should I have more electrical jobs to get done.

CE installed about 13 pot lights in our soffit and rewired switches, installed new switches, had to switch our 6 out of date pot lights, moved my garden hose holder, cleaned up after themselves, etc. They came in substantially under budget but I would have paid the full price. Pleasant, punctual, professional electricians. I highly highly recommend CE.

I hired crown electric in August, 2017 to bring my finished basement up to the electric code and replace my service panel. This company was pleasant and excellent to deal with. George came by the house and ON TIME for a quote. He thoroughly inspected the basement to give a quote. Adam and his crew worked for two weeks when I decided to hire them, and they cleaned up each day after themselves. The company went above and beyond. I would recommend this company!

It really seams to me that Crown Electric is trying to take advantage of me. This small job is not nearly worth what they are charging. I was told 2 people on the phone - they sent 1 and charged more than what I was told. Took me away from my work, then I had to help them with the job. Very, very slow work. At some point you need to ask yourself ‘Where is the value that Crown delivers?’ ‘What is real service?’ The fact that Crown Electric hung up on me this morning tells me exactly what kind of Company I unfortunately chose to deal with.

Called Crown Electric to install a panel in my garage due to the fact of a limited power supply out there. Crown Electric arrived on time, ready to work. They work very clean and fast to complete job on budget also supplying a E.S.A inspection. I would highly recommend Crown Electric for and electrical needs.

Hired Crown Electric to upgrade the electrical panel in my home and install new light fixtures. Process was thoroughly explained. Installation and follow up inspection was completed in a timely manner. Happy with the work. Would definitely recommend Crown Electric for any electrical needs.

I called Crown after getting a couple other companies over to give me a quote. I needed 6 pot lights I purchased put up in my bedroom on a separate switch. The first two company employees kept telling me how hard it could be and how they may have to make swiss cheese out of my walls in order to complete the work, I got the vibe there was not enough money in the job for them to bother. Once one of the owners John came in to look at the work I was immediately surprised at how differently he saw the job. Having actually looked in the attic he saw that it was open and assured me it would be very straight forward.

The workers Adam and Daniel were courteous and went right to the task making sure not to damage my floors with their ladders. A few hours later I was happy to be shown my new lighting and with no holes in my walls and no mess to clean!

Very happy and would recommend

Crown Electric ran 4 new data and phone lines from our server to our new sales area as part of a small renovation project we just completed. George and Andrew were very professional and provided quality work as outlined by our IT person. Their work caused minimal distraction to our ongoing operation, they were polite, courteous, and they cleaned up after themselves.
We would use and would refer them to others.
