Rosedale Electrical Solutions

Installing an additional circuit in an older home with a massive, ancient main breaker box, I inadvertently touched a ground wire to the hot bar in the back of the main breaker panel. Oops!. Half the panel was functional, the other, not. Unwilling to deal with the large, cylindrical 100 amp fuses of the ancient main breaker box, I got on the phone to find a nearby electrician. Steve, from Rosedale Electric, answered the phone. I told him what I'd done. He asked me to take a photo of the panel and breaker box with my phone, and send it to him, so he could diagnose the problem before estimating type of diagnosis that might be necessary, in order to set up a service call time. I did. He called back immediately, queried me further about the genesis of the problem, and told me someone could come by that day. As the landlord, I did not want to lurk in the tenant's basement in the meanwhile, and wanted to know if he could give me a specific time space for the call. He did so, telling me it would be not quite two hours later. That alone made me somewhat relieved.The electrician, Scott, arrived promptly (a welcome relief, considering scheduled repair and maintenance calls made with other contractors), and cheerfully, patiently, answered all of my questions as he worked. The repair was effected. When assessing payment, I was told he could not take a credit card payment (a minor blip in the process), that it would have to be either cash or cheque. Fortunately, a bank machine was close-by, so the transaction was made with little delay. I asked for an invoice, and was told it would be sent by email. Happy I did not inconvenience the tenant any longer than I did, I hopped in the car and made my way home.The invoice was in my email box by the time I got back.The one upgrade to their service that I would appreciate, would be an option to pay by credit card, or direct deposit.

This is by far the most professional crew I’ve worked with. I highly recommend them for any project.

Super pleased with Steve's work. He arrived when promised, got the work done (no more fuse box, yeah!), and arranged for the inspection. All without a hitch. Seems to really know his stuff.

Stop looking and just give these folks a call. I bought my first 100-year-old home a few months ago in Leslieville despite the knob and tube nightmare that I was embarking on. Steve came for one of my last pre-closing visits to assess and quote the job, offering suggestions and advice that put me at ease. We had to re-do 95% of the wiring in the home plus a new panel and service switch. While I was ready to run away, Steve offered his trademark ‘No problem’ and I kid you not, my friends, it was literally ‘no problem’ at all. Showed up the day after I closed and every day until the project was complete. I was coordinating with a few other trades on a tight timeline and Steve and team were accommodating and supportive of the entirety of my project. They took care with minimizing the impact of the wiring and went above and beyond thinking about what I might need before I’d have even thought of it.As someone who very quickly needed to make a list of trusted trades (among a sea of often sneaky ones, at best) I’d put Rosedale Electric at the top.

These guys did excellent work, from the initial investigation to get to the bottom of what was causing the electrical challenges in our home, to recommending a variety of fix options to suit both our budget and aesthetic style, to a quick, professional and thorough job that solved our issues and made sure we were set for some future needs too. Overall one of the best trades experiences I’ve ever had, would recommend to anyone who needs electrical work done and wants to have total confidence in the end product.
