Thorne Electrical and General Services Ltd.

During the recent polar vortex and sub-zero temperatures, a tenant reported that the apartment’s 8’6” baseboard heater was smoking and giving off a strong chemical smell. After researching the issue, I contacted James at Thorne Electrical. He responded quickly, assessed the situation, sourced a replacement baseboard heater, and had it installed within a short time—at a very fair market price. From the initial phone call through scheduling and invoicing, the entire process was seamless. James was responsive, courteous, respectful, and professional throughout. We’re very grateful for the quick turnaround and quality work, and we’ll absolutely be using Thorne Electrical again.

Needed an electrical charger installed my house. James was willing to travel to my neck of the woods and installed it at our house. He did an awesome job. If my house ever needs anything electrical in the future he would be the first one I would consider calling.

I contacted James on a Saturday evening as half my home was losing power and NL Power advised I contact an electrician ASAP. I picked the service after an internet search and I have to say, choosing Thorne’s electrical is one of my better decisions. James came to my home that evening, assessed and diagnosed the problem. Explained everything that was easy to understand, could not be repaired right away as my power had to shut off and NL Power had to be involved. Came back a couple of times when the problem kept happening, did a temporary fix. Fixed the issue, came back to check on us as power was still off waiting to be turned on, offered a generator. Met with the city inspector, came back and labelled the panel. Would highly recommend James to anyone seeking an electrician. Excellent service, really looks after his clients well!!!

I happened across James in a Google search when faced with a minor, but scary electrical emergency when a basement heating thermostat overheated and caught fire. Though no serious damage to the structure, I wanted the situation stabilized ASAP and eventually repaired. James dropped what he was doing and was at our home in 10-15 mins and got us out of danger WITHOUT CHARGE! He was back in a few days and did the necessary repairs and replacements and also supplied and installed three new smoke and carbon monoxide detectors at our request, given that only one of our three hardwired detectors were still working - luckily that was the one in the basement where the minor fire occurred. James is experienced, efficient, with very reasonable rates and also got us out of a scary emergency in record time. We were very thankful for his on-the-spot emergency call and highly recommend him for any electrical service you may need.

I had an emergency where my friend accidentally drilled into some electrical wires at someone’s property. I called James Thorne , and he arrived very quickly after my call. He was professional, efficient, and fixed the issue perfectly. On top of that, they charged a very fair price for the service, which I truly appreciated during such a stressful situation. Highly recommend him for any electrical work!
