Excellent service, great value!

Working with Chris was a pleasure from start to finish. His estimate was competitive, he was available in our timelines, and he left our place clean and tidy. We would definitely work with Chris again in the future and have already recommended him to friends and neighbours.

Prompt and thoughtful full electric renovation

We used Encore Electric's services to fully complete an electrical job for a legal duplex. The house is old and in need of wires replacement, electrical panels, lights and potlights all around.
Cris completed the job neatly, quickly, and communicated alongside, finding the deficiencies and recommending the solutions.
I am very happy about that project and will work with him again.

Best of luck with your new legal duplex apartment! We were glad we could help with the renovation and 200A Service Upgrade. It's important to have interconnected smoke alarms throughout the building. The place looks great, and we look forward to working with you again in the future!

200A Service Upgrade and Install 2 6000W Outdoor Heaters

Chris did a great job with upgrading our service to 200A and installing our outdoor heaters. He arrived on time for our initial consulate and determined that the power output of the heaters would require an upgrade to our electrical panel. Chris scheduled the Hydro cutoff and ESA inspector for one of the day's that we requested. His work ethic is exceptional, he arrived early and didn't leave until later that evening when the work was completed. His team was professional, and his communication skills were greatly appreciated. I will use Chris in the future and highly recommend him.

It's important to us that customers feel safe and confident with our electricians during installation. Chris is our lead electrician, and he takes pride in his work. Thanks for accommodating our team and providing the space and clearance required for your new 200A Service Upgrade and 240V Patio Heaters. Just in time for winter. We hope you enjoy your heaters during the cold days/nights, and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

Best electrician in Barrie

Called Encore Electric to do a slew of work, including installing a Tesla Level 2 charger and install a brand new light receptacle in our living room where one didnt exist. He also installed smart switches and moved our electric stove receptacle to be to code. He did all of this very quickly and in the less invasive ways possible. Complete professional and very trustworthy.

Cottage 200A Service Upgrade and Heat

I put out a request for quotes on Homestars for an electrical service upgrade for our cottage north of Barrie. I received about a half dozen enthusiastic responses from contractors. Once the scope of the project was detailed, (new supply lines, service mast, relocated meter base, breaker panel and some baseboard heating), the contractors seemed to lose interest. All but Chris from Encore Electrical Inc., we had a preliminary discussion and he had already arranged for the Hydro utility to come out and do the site inspection. From there it was all very straight forward without the usually delays and missed appointments. The work was top notch, and he even patched the roof where the old Hydro mast was removed. Chris arranged to come on site Fridays as we were in the city most of the week, he even managed to get the final ESA inspection on a Friday. All in all, I would not hesitate to recommend Encore Electric for your big or small electrical projects.

Thanks for a great review. We're glad you had a great experience and hope you enjoy your new Baseboard Heaters while staying on your lakefront property. It was a pleasure to work with you on your Service Upgrade and brining your cottage up to the current electrical code. There's no job we're afraid to take on and tackle, as we have great experience in all aspects of the trade. There is always a way to get the job done no matter what circumstances. We're accommodating as we understand our clients have a busy life also. We look forward to working with you again.

Professional, Effective

Chris of Encore was a perfect fit for my small project in East Toronto. I needed to rewire the knob & tube in my semi before I could move it. As with every project, when unseen problems came up, he was able to effectively problem solve and recommend solutions, a skill that's crucial for all small projects in Toronto. He also helped clean up some of the other bits that were leftover after decades of misc renos by previous owners. Fair price, good work.

Thanks for taking the time to post a great review. It was a pleasure to work with you on this project. Knob and Tube can be a dangerous system when paired with today's Power Demands and LED Lighting. We're glad to have updated your home to the current Electrical Code Requirements and provide an ESA Inspection for your records!
