Rewiring and lighting

Al did a removal of knob and tube wiring from our first house along with install of some pot lights. It was an older house and he found ways to remove and install everything we needed without ripping all our walls open. he is excellent at finding creative solutions to doing work in old homes. He was clean, tidy and a good communicator. He stuck to his quote. We now call on Al whenever we have electrical work. He recently did some work in our new house. We needed it done urgently and he was able to oblige. At the end of the electrical work some carpentry finishing work was required at the end of the job, and he managed a perfect match with our existing wood. It is a pleasure to work with someone who is so reliable and takes pride in their work. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone needing residential electrical work.

He Is very innovative under adverse conditions, and always seeks most cost efficient solutions for us and still get the job done. He also has his own set of routine in order to accomplish a job in most time-efficient way, he has a very well organized van carrying all job necessaries, in order to save client's time by not running around to get them by the time it was needed. with his experiences and attitude, He can handle both big and small electric projects and assignments, because he is focusing on his job quality and customer satisfactions only.

Electrical upgrades

I saw Albin’s truck parked near our place and because it looked so cool I took a photo of it. Also because I knew we would need electrical work in the near future. When I called Albin with the details of our pretty small job he was happy to do it and was able to come by the following week at a time that suited everyone.
He arrived right on time, the job took exactly what he said it would, and the bill was exactly what he quoted.
We are very pleased with Albin’s work and cheerfully recommend Brighthouse Electric Company.

Installation of Electric Cooktop and down- draft

We had to upgrade wiring to install a new cook-top that we had purchased for our kitchen island. Al is an excellent electrician and he also is accomplished at doing duct work and cabinetry. This facilitated completion of our kitchen renovation as he was able to do all of the jobs needed to be done. I highly recommend Al for your renovation projects.

Lighting and Rewiring

Al was doing some work at our neighbours and came over and introduced himself as he had done the wiring on our house when it was originally built 23 years ago. The home inspector we used when we bought our house said it was the best built house he had ever seen so I knew form that that Al was a star. I had a couple of small jobs that we had been putting off because we could not find someone we trusted. Al gladly took them on, did a swift and fantastic job. I would not hesitate to recommend him. Thanks Al!!

Electrical work

We have an old house, built around 1912, which has been renovated by many people over the years. Not everyone who worked on the house was a competent electrician. Al has done excellent work over the last 15 years, fixing things that were done badly (and in many cases unsafely) in the first place, as well as making changes that we wanted, such as adding extra lines for computers or installing new light fixtures. I recommend him to any friends who need a trustworthy, competent electrician to work on their house.

[I put the cost as $0 as we've asked Al to do so many jobs over the years. The cost varies with the job, of course!]
