Incredibly fantastic, start to finish, they installed a few outlets, added potlights throughout my townhouse, and fished speaker wire through a ceiling. They were fast, professional and -- best of all -- very accessible. I will go to them first for my next electrical Qs!

Tim and Danny and their team were amazing from the get-go - communicative, professional, and always available to answer questions or roll with any punches we found during the job. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for electrical work in the area!
We used KNT to upgrade wiring throughout our old house and get rid of remaining knob and tube. Danny and his team did a great job. The quote was detailed and transparent. They finished ahead of schedule and throughout the process, Danny responded quickly to any questions and issues that arose.
Tim was very thorough in performing the required service - new hardwired smoke and co detectors had to be installed and a number of pot lights had to be replaced. The charge was very reasonable. I highly recommend KNT Electric.
I had a couple of electrical issues in my duplex, Tim was able sort everything out on the same day. Super efficient, very honest - cant recommend KNT highly enough!

Your own checks
What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
