Trustworthy, hard working and reliable

After learning I needed a sump pump installed, i knew my electrical panel had no additional room left to add any more circuits for 2 dedicated receptacles for the new sump pump and back up sump pump. I called my electrician and found he retired. He advised me to check the ESA website and check the box ACP as he recommended I chose an ACP certified electrician for my future needs.

I found a couple of ACP electricians in my neighbourhood and received estimates in a timely fashion. KNT Electric's estimate was lower and I chose them.

The estimate was very detailed, listing the cost of the individual work and parts line by line.

The work was able to be started in a short time which I appreciated. Ken, the electrician assigned to my work, came when promised. He was hard working, reliable and kind.

The work (new exterior mast and wiring, meter moved to the exterior, new electrical panel and breakers, removal of old separate main, air conditioning panel with screw in type fuses and sub panel, 2 additional dedicated receptacles, new ground wires for gas and water lines, relocation of 110 volt and 220 volt clothes dryer receptacles) was completed in a few visits.

I met Tim, the owner on a couple of occasions and had contact with him over the phone and via email. I found Tim to be easily available and responded to any questions I had in a very timely manner with thoroughness.

I trust Tim, Bill and the workers employed by them and would not hesitate to contact them for any future electrical needs.

New pot lights and fixing outlets

I needed to replace the pot lights on the first floor and fix 2 electrical outlets (one outdoors). Bill and Tim came over within 48 hours after I first contacted them, they inspected the work that needed to be done, found a problem I did not know about and a few hours later, we had arranged an appointment by email. The work was done very professionally and quickly 2 opening days later. The material was charged at cost. I am very happy with the result.

Rewired The Entire 3 Storey, 100 year old House

This summer I had a run of bad luck with renovations which I think qualifies me to recognize a great company when I am lucky enough to find them. KNT rewired my entire three storey, 100 year old house. It is a lengthy, dusty job and the people who worked on my house were amazing. They took every precaution to keep the house as clean as possible and they were respectful of my opinion when we discussed positioning of outlets and switches. Without asking, they provided me with a circuit map. In addition, the team’s integrity was above reproach in that they did not make work by re-wiring anything that wasn’t necessary. In a house of this vintage and size some wiring will be “new”. They were scrupulously honest about what needed to be re-wired and what was okay to leave as is. Special thanks to Danny for his patience!

Knob and Tube Replacement

We had our knob and tube replaced in November, 2017 and were very happy with the work done by Tim and his team. He was very responsive to all of my questions and concerns leading up to and during the work and made requested adjustments to the work throughout.

The pricing was very transparent which was helpful to understand the breakdown of the job. He was very conscientious of the cost and did their best to do the job as efficiently as possible to keep within/under budget. They worked very efficiently and were done the job ahead of schedule and under the initial budget. They kept the work site very clean at the end of each day so it was not a major disruption.

Power surges

KNT Electric did an outstanding job for us about two years ago in changing out the knob and tube wiring in our house as well as the wiring in our renovated basement at the same time. When we started experiencing power surges throughout the house we called Toronto Hydro who responded by changing the connections at the street pole. When the surges continued, we called our trusted friend Bill Tang of KNT Electric. Bill responded quickly and sent out an electrician to investigate the problem. The problem was a puzzlement because no issue could be found with the wiring inside the house. Toronto Hydro returned and eliminated the power surges by changing the connections to the house. Bill Tang showed a lot of concern for what was happening and the anxiety that it was causing us. This exemplifies the integrity of KNT Electric and their commitment to their customers. To this day I marvel at how the knob and tube wiring was replaced and the benefits that a modern electrical system offers. Thanks, Bill for another challenging job well done. Ron Stupen

We learned a lot from your problem with surges and it helped with many similar jobs that followed with same problem. We are glad everything was resolved with hydro- I guess it pays to be persistent

Upgrade from Knob & Tube

I was impressed by the outstanding reviews people gave for KNT Electric and had them in to quote my job. We have a 2 story storefront building which had a mish-mash of different wiring including some knob and tube that were still used power to outlets in the building. The top floor had 2 separate fuse type panels and KNT ran new wiring from the basement to a single new panel to service the top floor. The G/F only needed to upgrade the wiring and switches. Ken, Danny and the team were prompt and cleaned up after each day. The patch work performed was acceptable with only minimal amount of sanding needed before repainting. I am glad I decided to hire KNT and I would definitely recommend KNT Electric for any electrical work. But their main specialty is upgrading knob and tube to today's electrical standards. You would not regret awarding them your project.
