I had to get an electrical box installed for my vanity light since I didn’t install it to code, and Colin’s employee (I forgot his name because I’m horrible with names) did the job quickly and professionally. He also updated our humidity sensor for our fan. Furthermore, he was able to provide great advice for future electrical work we wanted to get done. Will definitely call again for future work.

I can't express how appreciative I am for having Colin from CNA Electric oversee the electrical installation for my new build. From the very beginning he exuded professionalism and knowledge. Being an interior designer, I had many requests and details I needed accomplished and Colin was there with confidence and patience to see them through. I was continually surprised by his ethical standards and his kindness throughout the project. My family is extremely impressed and thrilled that he was able to correct the weak data signals for gaming and movie watching. What can I say....Colin just works magic! Not only is his work top notch, but he is just the kind of tradesman you know you can rely on and trust. My entire family commented on how nice this guy was and I will definitely be keeping him in my back pocket incase my clients need a great electrician. Thanks abundantly for all your hard work Colin.

Colin the owner of CNA electric and Dan his apprentice are excellent at what they do. The job was very large, rewiring our basement suite and upstairs, adding a second panel, extra wiring etc. Professional, punctual and very knowledgeable in their trade. Excellent communication. Colin explained everything clearly, our quote was clear & fair with transparent pricing. Excellent at troubleshooting any problems that came up. We would highly recommend this company for any electrical needs. Thank you for what you do. Derek & Lisa

Collin and Daniel from CNA Electric were outstanding! They showed up right on time, diagnosed the issue quickly, and completed all the electrical work with total professionalism. Everything was clean, safe, and done exactly to code. They were friendly, respectful of my home, and took the time to explain what they were doing and why. Pricing was fair and transparent—no surprises. I’m extremely happy with the results and will 100% be calling CNA Electric for any future electrical needs. Highly recommend!
