The person was very knowledgeable and didn’t waste any time. He figured out and fixed our problem in less than half an hour compared to another electrician who asked us to remove all drywall to find the problem (we hired before). The price was very reasonable as well. I am very happy with the service and will call them again if needed. Highly recommended company..

Friendly, professional, great workmanship & pricing = Highly Recommended We wanted to make some lighting improvements and needed several new pot lights installed in our 2nd-floor bedrooms/washroom, new wall sconce (w/ switch), and new power outlets installed around the house. We chose Ottawa Electric because of the great friendly communication, quick price quote, fantastic Customer reviews, easy scheduling, and their pricing was great.

Great Services! I had a lot of questions regarding the EV plug & Mat was amazing at answering all of them. I did my homework and asked for other quotes, Ottawa Electric was in the middle range, but I had a good feeling about them. I didn't regret my decision! The installation with their team was amazing. They were professional and fast. Happy to answer all my questions as well.

I used Ottawa Electric to install pot lights in my house, and I couldn't be happier with their service. Matt and his crew did a great job, and I appreciate the care they took not to mark up my floors when they moved the ladders around. I shopped at every electrical company in town, and these guys were the rare combination of reasonable prices and high-quality work. Sure, there are other electrical firms, but they won't beat Ottawa Electric's prices. I'll be using them again when I need more work done.

I had Ottawa Electric upgrade my electrical service and panel to the house. Matt and his team did an amazing job. Very professional, reasonably priced, and quality work. He took care of arranging all the permits and inspections. All I had to do was sit back and watch a real professional at work!

Contacted Ottawa Electric to have a transfer switch installed. Martin was a pleasure to deal with during the quote. On the day of, the electricians (Ilias and Cedric) showed up on time and ready to go. They were both very professional and did an excellent job. Their attention to detail was obvious to me when I saw the finished product, where they not only did a great job on the installation; they redid my main panel, which now looks ten times better than when I bought the house. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for electrical work. Thanks, Martin, Ilias, and Cedric.

Generator Installation Ottawa

What is a home standby generator? What are the benefits of having it in your home in Ottawa?

A standby home generator offers numerous benefits to homeowners in Ottawa. Some areas of Ottawa, Orleans, Kanata, Blackburn Hamlet, and Rockland experience frequent power outages. With a home generator from a trusted brand like Generac, your home will have a reliable backup power source, ensuring an uninterrupted electricity supply during extreme weather and blackouts.  

There are multiple options for connecting a portable generator to your home. One of the simplest and most flexible options is called a manual transfer switch connected to a portable generator. A portable generator could be a residential generator or a commercial generator. 

A generator is permanently installed outside your house. In case of a power outage, it comes on. Some generators are connected to your home’s natural gas or liquid propane system. Generators can protect your appliances from sudden surges of electricity. 

The automatic start feature provides a seamless flow of electricity if the power suddenly shuts off. Transfer switches are connected between the generator, and your home’s electrical panel to your outlets (and devices) are protected from frying themselves. 

It costs $4000 plus taxes and shipping. For a simple installation, the typical homeowner in Ottawa will pay about $2500 for installation. The installation of each of the Generac generators can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $20,000. 

Installing a backup power supply protects the electronics and appliances inside your home from surges in electricity. Generators can operate on propane or natural gas. This makes them a great choice for residential buildings in rural or urban areas. Backup generators can protect essential medical equipment, frozen foods and keep your home connected to the internet in case of a power outage.
