Olds Electric & Lighting Ltd - Olds, Alberta

Had them out to a hotel room I am renting; which is under AHS review for multiple issues across multiple rooms.

They say nothing is wrong... plugs have been illegally moved. Plugs are not legally laid out. 1 breaker for all but one plug... The plug they tried to tell me is on it's own breaker is not the plug that is..(or should be)

"Kitchen countertops need 20 amp plugs and a MAXIMUM of TWO receptacles on a circuit"

This electrical setup is a fire waiting to happen...

Edit/response: the room HAS been modified to include a "kitchen" in lawful definition. And as such should have been updated and inspected at the time of modification to meet current standards.

2nd Response: Yes; I have my work computer. Yes it pulls 350-400w under normal use. No; this should not be an issue; and has not been an issue at any other hotel. But I work from my PC, and it needs stable power. SECOND; the f'ing power cords where 100% Siesta Motels.... I even f'ing told you this while you where there and pointed it out as a fire hazard... I do not own an extension cord.

And on top of that; why are you bringing my personal belongings into your review...? And any + every time you attend somewhere you should be doing basic safety inspections just in the back of your small skull.

I also doubt John was the owner 25+ years ago... was the building not inspected prior to sale? Or is John the one who let it go to shit? And frankly how long the building has been around is no grounds for not doing your job properly...

And sounds like John may have lied to you as to the full reason you where to be there.... AHS demanded it. And you where supposed to be doing a full inspection... (picture added)(See "Siesta Motel" olds Alberta's google review for more info)

Our water went out at 10pm on a Sunday before a holiday. Olds Electric was extremely helpful in responding to me right away and went in early the next morning to check for a part despite it being a holiday. Thank you!

Taylor came out and troubleshot a bizzare problem we were having and was able to provide us a permanent upgrade and solution. He was great to deal with and explained everything so we could understand the entire process. I will certainly be using them for all future electrical jobs I need done.

These guys are great. Efficient at their job, able to tackle unexpected problems easily, and a pleasure to work with.

Hours are inconsistent and if you call ahead of time to ensure the store is open, they rarely if ever pickup the phone. Tailored to contractors.

Bud redid some major electrical work for me and did a fantastic job for a very reasonable price.
