I called Young for a small job after using his company Canadian Wire Wizards previously about a year ago. Once again I was not disappointed. Young came himself on time, and quickly assessed the issue, and offered good advice on the optical placement of a new electrical receptacle for a basement dehumidifier. The work was completed in a professional, timely, and efficient manner that you would expect from a master electrician. We have lived in our century year old Toronto home for over 40 years and have had the occasion to hire many tradesmen over that period. Young and his team from Canadian Wire Wizards stands out among the best in helping us live safely while preserving our investment!

As a first time homeowner moving into an older Toronto house, there were a lot of daunting/new challenges; one being knob and tube. Demetri was very professional and reliable. We had called a few places to get some quotes (some of which didn't even show up or showed up very late). Demetri and his team was a pro from start to finish. Would definitely use them again and recommend them to everyone!

Young and the team helped me troubleshoot issues with our breakers. Over the phone, they were incredibly enthusiastic and actually sounded like they were having fun helping people out.
These are the type of people I love to support. Friendly, honest, helpful service. Would highly recommend them!

Excellent team of electricians. Installed a small panel in my shed and left the place cleaner than before they started.
They even gave me some tips, like dimmer switch should not be used with motion sensor light, which I did not know.
Fair price and excellent service, highly recommended!

We hired Canadian Wire Wizards to install new 15amp GFCI type
receptacles in our home and garage as well as to repair our exterior back light and switch.
Overall, Demetri and his team of technicians (Jason and Sean) were great and I highly recommend Canadian Wire Wizards. They are very professional, friendly, efficient and customer-oriented. We asked 3 different vendors for their quotes and Canadian Wire Wizards team was the most reasonable and diligent one from start to finish. Demetri first came to our home to assess our needs in person and came back to us with very reasonable and thoughtful estimate. Jason and Sean completed their installation and repair work in a timely manner and left our place clean.
Due to their outstanding service, I intend to use Canadian Wire Wizards for any future needs.

We just bought our first house and we were VERY Nervous when we found out there was Knob and Tube in it. Our realtor suggested Young and his crew and we couldn't be happier! Young did a full survey of the house and let us know what would be needed to update the wiring to code, there wasn't any pressure or crazy upsells, he listened to what we need and just provided some great suggestions on placement to make our lives easier! We had a bit of a rushed timeline and he was able to get started right away. He kept us updated on the process, always calling or texting if he had any questions or concerns before he placed an outlet or switch.
We couldn't of asked for a better experience and we have found our electrical team for life!
Electrical stuff can be scary but not with this team! make sure you call them ASAP.

I engaged this company to make many electrical improvements to my home in Etobicoke. From the estimate to the invoice payment receipt, all went well. The electricians were prompt, polite, professional, accommodating to changes and educational, Young in particular. Highly recommended.
