Sarah M.Mississauga · Sep 2026
Marco came out the day after I filled in the estimate, and the final price landed right inside the range the website gave me. They pulled the permit, swapped the panel in one day and left the basement cleaner than they found it.
David K.Vaughan · Aug 2026
Three quotes for my charger and Ampcrest was the only one that explained I could keep my 100A panel with a load manager. That saved me a panel upgrade. Tidy install in the garage, permit handled.
Emma R.Leslieville, Toronto · Jul 2026
Our contractor recommended them for the basement. Emily worked around the framers and drywallers without any drama, the pot lights are perfectly spaced, and we passed ESA inspection on the first try.
Mike T.Etobicoke · Jun 2026
The kitchen breaker tripped every time the microwave and kettle ran together. They found an overloaded circuit, ran a dedicated line and were done in under three hours. Fair price, no upsell.
Linda W.East York · May 2026
Our insurer gave us 60 days to remove the knob and tube. Ampcrest rewired our 1928 semi in under two weeks and patched every hole. The letter for the insurance company was ready the same day.
Ryan O.Markham · Apr 2026
Fourteen pot lights across the living room and kitchen. Jake mapped every joist before cutting and there wasn't a speck of dust left behind. The rooms look completely different at night.

About Ampcrest
Family-owned, Toronto-based, and still on the tools
Marco De Luca started Ampcrest in 2008 with one van and a simple rule: quote honestly, show up on time, and do the work like it's your own home. Eighteen years and 4,800 homes later, that rule hasn't changed.
Today our team of 14 licensed electricians covers the whole GTA, and Marco still reviews every quote personally.
