DE KONING Electrical & Mechanical

I found several electrical issues upon arriving to my new house. One light switch was not turning off one of the lights on the hallway and the other light switch produced spark just by the touch of my fingertips. I immediately called Karel and he came to the rescue. He quickly discovered that the builder who wired my home 12 years took a shortcut in wiring all outlets and switches by breaking several building codes. Karel replaced most of the switches and outlets, and also replaced all the smoke detectors. I was very pleased with his professionalism as well as his eagerness to shars his knowledge to his customers. He always tell you straight up any issues that he detects during his diagnosis and gives you the option to either fix it or deal with it in the future. It's tough to find honest and reliable professional these days but Karel stands by his motto A name you can trust..A service you can depend on". I would definitely work with Karel again in the future."

Karel is very knowledgeable & professional. He talks you thru what is needed to be done. He gives you time to decide. I will be using his electrical expertise to install more up-to-date lighting.

I had some fluorescent lighting mounted under my kitchen cupboards which had not been working properly for years. Karl came out the same week that I called and installed the new lighting that I had purchased. It was a challenge as they were a few inches larger than the original fixtures and were actually meant for ceiling installation. I was a little doubtful as to what the final result would look like but I took the leap of faith and Karl did an amazing job, way beyond my expectations. He was also able to troubleshoot some faulty wiring in a junction box in the ceiling of my hallway and install a light fixture there as well. It was an incredibly tight spot between a set of stairs and a back door requiring some ninja-like skills to do the job. Throughout the appointment Karl was very thorough in explaining what was happening so I was always in the loop. Bonus, everything was left as tidy as he found it! All in all, I highly recommend De Koning Electrical & Mechanical for their responsiveness, professionalism and expertise. Great job Karl! I'm super happy with my new lighting.

Very happy with the service, he gave me different options on his service fee's before arriving. I found his rates to be very reasonable and he did a great job fixing my electrical problem. It took him a while but he figured out the problem where other contractors couldn't! I had some renovation work done to the basement a few years ago and added more outlets to an existing system. My problem was that aluminum wiring was used at that time, although it is still a safe system but be leery of the wire connectors in the junction boxes, over tightening them can present problems , it can weaken the connection (unlike copper wiring which is stronger) If the wiring gets overheated at those connectors but not enough to trip the breaker it loses connection and then no power to the outlets and lights was the problem I had.Great job Karel!

Karl installed a new appliance for me recently. He was knowledgeable and skilled. He knew how to trouble shoot and he install this appliance safely and properly. I also appreciated his punctuality. It was great that he was available immediately. He made the time to serve my request promptly. I would definitely use his services again.

Karl communicated professionally with extensive knowledge on his works. he took time to explain the situation and provide best solution to approach the situation. He is proud of his works and ensure that I was happy with the result. I am glad that i have chosen Karl to prepare my electricity and will not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family members.

I'm a bit late sending this review. I was very pleased with Karel's prompt response in Feb this year to diagnose what seemed like an electrical problem with my clothes dryer. He came the same day I contacted him and replaced the main plug outlet that appeared faulty which seemed to correct the problem. However when I went to actually use the dryer it would not continue working. I called Karel and he came right away and replaced the main switch in the hydro box - no charge. I have not had any problems since.Thank you Karel!

We woke up this morning to find that our furnace had died overnight, and with a rapidly cooling home. I called Karel, who was able to immediately schedule us in (and was over in less than an hour!). He was rapidly able to identify the problem with our furnace, source a replacement part, and finish the fix in a matter of hours. Amazing! And during the process, Karel gave clear explanations on what he was doing and gave helpful advice on how I should maintain the furnace and our electrical system going forward. Thank you so much for the amazing experience!

We encountered an issue with our indoor sauna when it suddenly stopped working. After doing some research, we selected DE KONING Electrical & Mechanical find out what the problem is and fix it.Karel was the electrician who arrived at our house and I could tell that I immediately liked the guy. He began to analyze the sauna controller, wiring, etc to determine the issue. After figuring it out, he was able to explain to me what happened in a clear and concise manner - and I have no electrical background. Additionally, he pointed out some other areas for concern while confirming it by showing me readings from his instruments. After we discussed potential remediation options, we selected one which Karel was comfortable with and that worked best for our situation. He was able to finish the agreed upon work in a timely manner.All in all, I was very impressed with Karels knowledge and work ethic. In the future, I would not hesitate calling him again for any electrical projects and highly recommend him to family, friends and anyone else.Zack

Our furnace stopped working due to an issue with our electrical panel. I had no idea where to start looking for an electrician. Calling DE KONING was the best thing I could have done. Karel modified his schedule and arrived 90 minutes after I called. He swiftly rectified the problem and everything is working! Karel is extremely knowledgeable and shares as much information as he can. Pricing is really fair. I will not be looking for another electrician if needed... DE KONING will be my only option!
