 We hired Read and Read to address the issues of power outages in certain areas and the aluminium wiring in our home. From the initial visit with Mike Read, we were impressed with his professional and knowledgable approach as well as his competitive pricing . He was able to quickly identify and resolve the power outage problem and carried out the addressing of the aluminium wire issue in a very efficient and effective manner within the timeframe and quoted cost. We would have no difficulty in recommending Mike Read work to anyone. 

 We found Read & Read through Google Maps/Reviews and took a chance on an unknown vendor.  The result? A professional installation that exceeded our expectations.  The scope of the job was to wire the stove in our new outdoor barrel sauna.  Mike worked with us early on to learn if we needed a new service panel (we did not). He worked around pandemic-related delays and parts shortages which caused us some frustrations but he didn't cut corners, he waited until he could do the job correctly.  In the end we not only got what we needed, we felt the look and feel of the wiring and access panels went above and beyond. A totally pro install.  We would recommend Read & Read Electric without hesitation. 

 Mike was absolutely fantastic!  We had an issue with some of the wiring in our patch panel (telephone patch panel).  With young kids a non-functioning phone was a bit of a concern for us.  Read & Read came out during a time when they were fully booked - got us up and running with a temporary fix (a part needed to be ordered for the full fix).  They didn't even charge us for the temp. fix.

My wife and I were blown away by the service, professionalism and kindness.  A few weeks later our part came in, Mike sent us an email to confirm a time - again without a hitch - everything done top notch!  A+ customer service, communication and workmanship.

Can't recommend any higher! 

 In the aftermath of the tornadoes and high winds that troubled Ottawa in 2018, I had a very hard time finding an electrician to fix a dire problem at the house. Had no power, and Hydro wouldn't turn it back on until we fixed our conduit that brings power into the house. After calling about 8 companies, who all told me it would be at least 2 weeks before they could send someone to me, ReadandRead Electrical heeded the call within a few days.

Fixed our problem, got it inspected, had hydro back there all in the same day. And for a very reasonable price. Mike was a great guy who got the job done in timely fashion, while being very friendly and efficient.

I definitely recommend this company for residential jobs in the Ottawa/Kanata area! They saved our bacon! 5 Stars and a big shout out! Thanks again! 

 We recently purchased a house in an older part of Stittsville.  Our home inspection raised a few electrical issues and we knew it would be a big job.  My husband found Mike, and based on his excellent reviews and experience with aluminum wiring, we hired him.  He fixed our long list of issues as well as installed a new electrical panel and ceiling fan.  Just a few days post completion and we are very happy with his work.  

Mike is professional and friendly and didn't mind our two young children watching his every move.  He worked with us for almost a month and my daughter in particular is very sad to see him go.  Thanks Mike.  The house feels much safer now. 

 Mike was fantastic. He took our kitchen pendant light down when we discovered a leak from a bathroom above. Unfortunately, it was months before the plumbing repair was done, but Mike was extremely flexible and came as soon as we called and said we needed the electrical done. In addition, we’d been having a problem with our hall fixture. He went above and beyond, by not only figuring out the problem, but fixed a safety issue that he found in the meantime. Mike is clearly very knowledgeable and efficient. We are confident that the job was done properly and safely. We would certainly recommend Mike to anyone and not hesitate to use him again for any electrical issues in the future.
