Excellent Service. Joel was able resolve our electrical issues immediately and our lights and panels were back on in no time. He insisted on newer changes and barely charged us extra for his time.
Darryl Smith
I’ve know Joel since my high school days ( I just celebrated my 59th birthday! ) and just recently we needed his help to do some electrical work in our home. His experience of more than 30 years has made him a skilled and knowledgeable electrician; he completed the work to add outlets and light fixtures in less than a day. Very satisfied with the job he did and the price for the service he provided…I would definitely recommend Joel to do your electrical work!

Joel was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. With only a few days before Christmas, Joel fit us in for a same day appointment. He quickly diagnosed our issue and had the lights back on in no time. We appreciate his professionalism and fair pricing. We highly recommend Joel Hayes Electric.

I chose Joel based on the positive google reviews online.........was very happy I did. He got back to me right away and was able to take care of everything promptly. He kept me well informed throughout the process and made sure I was getting what I wanted. Hard worker. Will be using him again in the future.

Joel Hayes did a great job of fixing an electrical problem we had at our estate home in St. Thomas. He was prompt, friendly and stayed with the problem until he solved it. He also, fixed an additional problem with wiring in the fuse panel. His price was reasonable for the service provided. I highly recommend him. He did not request this review. I just find it helpful to know who is a good trade person in an area where I don't have any references. Thanks Joel!

Questions worth asking
- What is your ECRA/ESA licence number? (Then look it up before you sign anything.)
- Will you file the ESA notification, and is the fee included in this price?
- Will I receive the Certificate of Acceptance when the work passes inspection?
- Is my panel at capacity? If this job needs a service upgrade, I want to know now rather than halfway through.
- Who is physically doing the work - a certified electrician or an apprentice under supervision?
