Reviews

What customers say

Several customers praise the team's professionalism, while individual accounts describe a clear explanation of options, neat work and cleanup, and a flickering-lights problem diagnosed and fixed during the same visit. One customer seeking Tesla charger installation said the electrician wanted a full panel upgrade before considering the job, despite the customer's explanation that the 60- and 50-amp breakers were unused.

Customer Reviews

Dave C

I had 705 come in to quote installing a Tesla charger in my garage. He wanted to upgrade my panel completely at a cost of many thousands of dollars before he'd even consider installing the Tesla charger. He would not listen to me that I had a gas stove or dryer, and that 60 and 50 amp breakers were not being utilised. A simple electrical load analysis would have confirmed this, but he wanted to sell me a new panel. Tesla wall chargers have the ability to be connected to a 30-amp breaker instead of a 60-amp breaker and offer charging at a slightly lower rate that would meet the needs of just about anybody. They are also intelligent and detect high household electrical loads and will automatically lower the current draw until the house's electrical current decreases. I'm sure he does quality work, but it clearly comes at the most expensive solutions to the homeowner.

We had house wide flickering lights and Mike came for his diagnostic visit. With his attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile, he diagnosed our problem and fixed it in the same visit, saving us from having to have their team come back for a second call. We're very happy with our experience with 705 Electric.

Very professional and prompt. Comparatively low price. If you are looking for any electrical work 705 electric are the ones. We got 200 amp panel installed which is an upgrade from 100 amp panel. They were very professional in installing the panel. It was a crazy snow day and alectra were late to reconnect after the disconnect in the morning. Still 705 electric guys waited patiently till the reconnect was done around 7.30PM, great job guys thank you.
