Bill and his team replaced the K&T in my house, as well as adding some additional outlets and light fixtures. Bill was everything that you could hope for from any contractor: Estimate was clear and detailed, and contained none of the dreaded contingencies. References were offered before I asked. They showed up when they said they would, and the job was completed on time. The house was treated carefully and incisions were minimal Good communication throughout the process. I would not hesitate in using KNT Electric for any future electrical work, or giving a recommendation,. Thanks Bill Keith & Judith

After years of procrastination due to our fear of living through a total mess we decided in August of this year to hire Bill Tang of KNT to replace the knob & tube wiring in our 1920's house. Bill assured us that our furniture & floors would be covered in plastic & that any holes in the walls would be plastered over. In rooms where we have wallpaper he would take care in replacing the paper in the area where the cuts needed to be. We chose to leave town while the work was being done & left on a Monday with Bill & his team arriving on time to start the job. We returned home the following Saturday & couldn't believe how much had been accomplished in such a short time.. We were able to match the paint colour in 3 of the rooms & now it's hard to see where the holes had been. The wallpaper cutouts were minimal & hardly noticeable. There were a few minor problems with the wiring of the kitchen light fixture but within a few hours Bill had a technician come out to fix this on a Sunday afternoon! We would not hesitate to recommend KNT to anyone contemplating having this work done. Bill takes care of getting the permits, inspections & provides the ESA Certificate of Inspection to prove your house is now wired to meet the safety code. The job was completed on time and within budget. Thanks Bill and to your team for doing a great job. Sincerely, The Barkers

KNT Electric are the neighbourhood experts in removing knob & tube wiring in older Toronto homes. They did an exceptional job on time, on price....at one point I had 7 electricians in my home fishing wires through the walls. They repaired and cleaned as they went; you'd never know they were in my home. Unlike my previous electricans who spent much time outside smoking, Bill and his crew worked steadily until the job was complete. I'm very satisfied.

Company Response:

Thanks Mark for taking time to write up this review. "Neighbourhood experts in removing knob & tube wiring" - I like that a lot! It's got a really nice ring to it. Thanks again buddy.

I recently had KNT replace the the knob and tube wiring in my home. Bill and his crew were exceptional. The estimating is transparent and you can easily determine the cost implications of expanding or reducing the scope of your project. The communication between Bill and his team is great and all the changes we agreed to were executed just as discussed. I exercised my female prerogative in a number of instances and relocated the bathroom fixture, up-down-up and back again without any eye rolling from the crew or charges for the additional effort. Tim rewired an antique light that was not working and as a final gesture, Amy repaired the fence gate which was broken long before KNT arrived on the scene. I intend to use KNT for the electrical work on the next phase of my home renovation project. If I could only persuade KNT to expand into the plumbing business, my life would be complete!

Company Response:

Thanks so much for coming on my page to write a review, it is much appreciated. Being transparent and taking our jobs seriously is of utmost importance to us, these are the pillars of outstanding customer service. Thanks again Liz for awarding KNT Electric a 10/10!

I was in the middle of a project getting a sump pump installed in our basement. In the back room the wall plugs stopped working because of an equipment overload. When I could not correct the fuse issue I called Bill. We've known Bill Tang and KNT since he rewired our whole 1890 house 2 years ago (doing an amazing, non-destructive job). Bill came by in the afternoon and personally dealt with the issue for me. He is always, helpful, upbeat, respectful of homeowners concerns, and dependable. The kind of vendor you stick with and recommend to other people. So if you have a huge project like we did originally, or just need a dependable trustworthy electrician, call KNT and they will take care of you.

Company Response:

Thank you Scott for taking time to write a review here for me. Repeat business means a lot to KNT Electric, it shows we have what it takes to not just meet your expectations, but exceed it as well.

I hired Bill to replace all the knob and tube wiring in my old house. He and his crew, especially Tim did a wonderful job, helping me with good ideas but most important to keep within the original quote. They are very well trained and professional electricians. When I was presented will the final invoice there was no surprises, everything was as planned. I give KNT electric a 10. They deserve it and I fully recommend them. Thank you Bill

Thank you Maribel for your endorsement. Nothing beats having a happy customer give us a stamp of approval.

We contacted KNT Electric to provide us with a quote to completely update the wiring of our house in June, 2011. The original quote was $8,500.00 plus HST. At first, we were quite pleased with the progress of the job, until it was done. The total amount was around $11,000.00 because we added additinal outlets, potlights, etc. There was also a few things missed when we were quoted, which was not a big deal. The patch job was not the greatest, which was tolerable, until we began to paint. They used some form of caulking when patching the holes that we could not paint over it. We were given an excuse that it was there previously, but we knew it was not. We had to pick it off, and re-patch and repaint several times. Shortly after we moved in late June, we noticed the lights began to flicker when an appliance (ie the vaccuum, A/C) was turned on. I called Bill to come to our house to figure out what the issue was. His reasoning was Toronto Hydro uses surge protection where the power is reduced a bit to avoid any power shortage. I accepted this reasoning for the time being, as I had no reason to disbelieve him up to this point. Our major issue with KNT came during the blackout in August, 2011. When the power was restored after 25 hours, only half of the house's power returned. I immediately contacted Bill, who was too busy to take my call, and advised that if only half the power came back on, it was a Toronto Hydro issue, and not a KNT Electric issue. I did not accept this, as we drove around the neighbourhood and everyone seemed to have full power. I contacted Toronto Hydro and asked if full power was reached in our area, and were told yes. Toronto Hydro sent out a truck within 3 hours. When Toronto Hydro reached my home, the first thing they ask was whether or not we recently updated the wiring. When we advised yes, we were then asked if the electrician did anything on the outside, and I said no. He immediately told me that that was the incorrect thing to do, and that if the service was being updated on the inside, the outside service should have been done as well. I was told that the service coming from the City was 200amp?, the house was running on 100amps, but the connection between the City and our house was only 60amp, and that it was a fire hazard I contacted Bill about this issue, and he advised that he "checked" the service coming into the house and it seemed "fine." I did not accept this, as this is a serious issue. I contacted Toronto Hydro again to find out what needed to be done, and was advised that the service from the City should have been updated at the same time as the service was being updated on the inside, and that the electrician should have determined this. I later contacted the ESA to find out how they would have passed KNT Electrics work on the inside when the outside was not proper, and was informed that the outside work was a separate permit, and the ESA would not inspect it because a permit was not pulled. I think this is quite scary. I sent Bill a report about what work needed to be done according to Toronto Hydro and he said he did not agree with what they said, but would not challenge Toronto Hydro, and advised that it would cost about $1,500.00 plus HST to update the service. Up until recently I did not have an issue with everything until I conducted a Home Energy Audit. Our auditor is also a home inspector, and he advised me that this was a serious issue and should have been dealt with from the beginning. I also recently had insulation put in my house and was advised by the insulator who is a master electrician that from looking at the side of the house, he could tell that it was 60amp, maybe even 50amp. The reason why I took so long to write this review is I was trying to give KNT the benefit of the doubt, they were very nice people, however, this is my first home and if there was a fire, my insurance company would not have covered the damage, because we were all under the impression that the electrical was ok, which it is not. We did not expect to have a quote as high as $1,500.00 to do something, that should have been done in the beginning. I'm not asking not to pay, but it should have been included, back when we had more money to spend, as further renovations have depleted our savings.

Company Response:

The 100A Panel was installed by other electrician, not by KNT Electric, and before Mr. Brown bought the house. KNT do not have the permission to pull out the meter to examine the service cable. ESA is right that without a permit pulled, the Inspector is not responsible to inspect the Service. My Contract was to replace all Knob and Tube wiring. There is a cost for any Electrical Contractor to replace the Service mast and I quoted $1,500 inclusive of ESA fees, administration, labour and material which is very fair. The previous Electrical Contractor who installed the 100A panel should have done this part. Mr. Brown said after the power outage, half of the house was without power. I came to Mr. Brown`s house the same night and he is not even home. KNT did not do anything but the power was restored after Toronto Hydro sent the crew. Presumably repaired by Toronto Hydro to the street side of the panel which KNT did not worked on. There were 77 email exchanges with Mr. Brown and the matter of Service mast was never mentioned. Every time Mr Brown has any issue, KNT responded within 24 hours except the time when my father passed away which even Mr. Brown replied `please take your time and I'll see you when you're ready` I will be happy to help Mr. Brown if given the chance.

We had knob and tube wiring left over from a previous renovation. Bill and his team removed and replace all of the remaining Knob and Tube with minimal disruption. He is very organized and took care of organizing the electrical inspection and providing a certificate. Highly recommended.

Company Response:

Thanks Tom for your praise. We respect our customers property and thus we spend a great amount of time and thought to develop a customized solution to each situation. Minimal disruption is one of our key goals another is customer satisfaction.
