This electrician is the kinda person you hear about on Holmes on Homes where people get screwed by an electrician and his crooked lawyer.
Contract said $7000-$10000 to replace knob and tube wiring and bring entire house to code. This cost is within what was to be expected based on several discussions with electricians.
He smoked in the house and when we were on vacation he refused to let anyone in the house while he was working. My contractor was delayed by at least 2 weeks because of this.
Two days before we were to move in, (owner of Nortec) cuts the power off and refused to answer his phone. Worse yet, we were paid up to date with him...we are, to this day, unclear why he would have ever done this unless it was just to screw us for tons of cash!)
The hydro company would not turn the power back on, only if the permit holder calls. We had to hire another electrician to pull a permit to finish the job so we could get our flooring laid and move in! . He left an invoice in our house for $27,000! Within 1 week of receiving the invoice we got a letter from his lawyer, he had placed construction lien on our house! Our lawyer told us we would win if we went to court but until then (about 2 years) we would have a lien on our property and have to pay lawyers fees (which would be over $5000). On top of it all, he left a ton of trash (and cigarette butts) in the house and we had to change all the locks because he did not return his keys.
Nortec work is sub-par and he cuts corners everywhere. ESA is only interested in fire hazards but do not care about all the c@!%!y finishes that are done. The homeowner on the other hand is interested in safety and appearances. Nortec knows the exact minimum required to keep his license and get hired by unsuspecting victims.
Do not hire this person unless you want to get ripped off and have a lien placed on your property before you even have a chance to pay.
