July 29, 2020 Today I had another usual visit from the electricians at Townsend Electric -- the usual expert, careful, detail-oriented service (instills my confidence), the usual professional practices (timely arrival, clean-up), the usual safety advice of relevance to my situation, the usual friendly interactions. Townsend Electric has consistently provided excellent services to me over several years, including an emergency call after my basement flooded. I highly recommend them.

Detailed reviews
June 30, 2020 ..excellent service, and also with a smile!!!!!
September 10, 2019 I have used Townsend Electric 5 years ago when I bought my home and again this July 2019 when I moved into my new home. I have recommended them to multiple friends (for commercial and home) who have also been very pleased with their services and used them multiple times. They are beyond detailed oriented with their work and very knowledgeable. They were helpful in answering all my questions and the price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend them!!

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
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.
