Eddie Hall was responsive by phone and provided an estimate that was less than competitors, who seemed far less interested in looking after a small job such as mine. The electrician arrived as scheduled and completed the work in the time estimated. All the work was well done and he cleaned everything up well, unlike many other contractors. I would not hesitate to use them again and I recommend them.

To get them to show up, you have to be way more flexible than a normal working person can be. I contacted them and Sam told me they could come on a Friday at 7:30 a.m., which doesn't work because I have a family to get out of the house, eating breakfast under the fixture I need replaced (we're normal Vancouver people, we don't have tons of space and a room/table I could relocate breakfast to). Then he said they could come later on Friday morning, but couldn't commit to a time. I countered with Thursday afternoon, which he said would work better, and he agreed to a time. I arranged my work schedule to be there. On Wednesday morning, I got a call at work from their installer, asking if I could be home that day to do the install (uh, no, not on short notice). As agreed, I stayed home on Thursday for the Thursday afternoon appointment, moved everything around to be ready for them, and then the installer called me an hour in advance to tell me he couldn't make it and wanted to reschedule for the next week. If you have a stay-at-home partner / roommate or you work from home or have a contractor or someone handling your house, Hall Electrical might be great. But if you can't be at home on a weekday at the drop of a hat, don't bother with them.

I gave Red Seal Electric a call and they said they can have someone come out the same day so my renovation project could continue without any hiccups. I need to thank Red Seal for their prompt, professional service. I was impressed, and I look forward to working with them again in the future.

I had one major company tell me that they could come in 4 weeks and another not return calls after a promise to do so and a follow up call. Paul from Red Seal had an electrician on site the next day who diagnosed and repaired the problem, and completed the new light fixture installation. I got a call in the morning, as promised, to schedule a time. The electrician was going to be about 10 minutes late and he called ahead to let me know - that is unusually great service in my book. He was very polite and respectful. Paul called me immediately after the electrician left, took my Visa card for payment, and promised that a receipt would be emailed to me on Monday (the work was done on a Friday) and it was, as promised. 1.5 hour minimum charge. The only thing that was not perfect was that the electrician did not have a dimmer to replace the dimmer, but had to replace it with a simple switch. All-in-all, a very good experience with a professional company.

Norman was unprofessional, treated us like we were an inconvenience, and refused to provide us with a copy of the invoice. This wasn't Norman having a "bad day", because he attended our home on 3 different occasions and treated us poorly each time.

Unfortunately, Norman left a bad taste in our mouths and we will be taking our business elsewhere for any future services.

**Edit after reply. **…read more Note - that this review is as much about customer service as it is a fault with my installation. There was no offer to help remedy the problem, only an offer full rate new install. As I feel their response to this review mischaracterizes their response to me, the following is the exact response I was given. Also note that it was not a phone conversation, it was a response in email. -- Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are sorry to hear this happened. -- We definitely recommend that we hardwire your new device rather than use the receptacle location. -- Our warranty period has expired, for this work and you will be looking at our service call rate for our return. -- The charge will be $225 for the first hour followed by $120 each additional hour and roughly looking at $50 in material if we cannot reuse any of the wiring. -- Do you have the new device on site? I can schedule an electrician to come by tomorrow, Friday February 13th if that works for you. I requested to be reimbursed for the previous work, and while I didn't say as much, I would have accepted less even just a slight discount, or even full price if literally any attempt would have been made at support. I was told: -- We will not be reimbursing you for the work or the device. Our work was completed to code and inspected by the city. I am leaving it up to the reader to decide if that's acceptable to them. It's not acceptable to me.
