Customer Reviews

Jim Farrell

our power went out to half of our house. Contacted John whom responded within 10 minutes. He diagnosed the problem, obtained permits, and repaired it. It included calling in Hydro to shut off power to house. Deal with confidence. Very professional

I was having issues with my camera doorbell that suddenly stopped working. John came and fixed it pretty quickly. Thanks a lot!

Gail

My husband and I wanted to replace three older pendant lights over our kitchen counter. I called John Cowan and he was able to come within a couple of days to do the work for us. John is the ultimate professional. He is competent, knowledgeable and very pleasant to have in our home. There was a question of height for the fixtures and he double-checked with me, which was great because his idea was good. He got the job done properly and in good time. As well, I felt his charge was very fair. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for an electrician. We are extremely pleased! Thanks, John!
