An electrician who explains the problem before fixing it

Whether it's a breaker that won't stay on, an outlet that went dead or a renovation that needs new circuits, you deserve to know what's wrong and what it will take to fix it before anyone starts cutting into walls.

We troubleshoot faults, upgrade panels, install lighting and EV chargers, and wire new spaces for homes and small businesses across Haldimand County and south Hamilton. You'll hear what we found, what needs attention now and what can wait.

Caledonia Electrician Backed by Over 30 Years of Experience

DMJ Electric has been in business since 2018. Owner Al Johnson brought more than 30 years in the electrical trade to the company, along with a straightforward way of working: be honest about what a job needs, do it properly, and respect the customer's home.

That means showing up when we say we will, going over the quote with you first, protecting your floors and cleaning up afterward. We're a licensed electrical contractor (ECRA/ESA #7012295), and we file the ESA permit for every job that requires one.

Why homeowners call us back

We find the cause

A tripping breaker or flickering light gets tested and traced, not guessed at.

We respect your home

Drop cloths down, small access holes, and the mess leaves with us.

We plan for what's next

Panels and circuits are sized for today's needs and the EV or hot tub you're thinking about.

We tell it straight

If a simple repair will do, you'll hear that before anything bigger.

How Much Does an Electrician Cost?

Most small repairs and troubleshooting calls run about $150 to $350. Bigger jobs, like moving to 200-amp service, typically cost about $2,000 to $4,500. Access, the condition of the existing wiring, permits and the number of circuits all affect the final number, which is confirmed once we've seen the job.

What customers say

We got a hot tub for the backyard and needed a dedicated circuit run to it. DMJ Electric came out to quote the same week, explained where the disconnect had to go and why, and had everything wired and inspected in a day. Tidy work, no surprises on the bill. Our weekends are much better now!

After losing power for two days last winter, we decided on a standby generator. Al handled the transfer switch, the permit, and coordinating with the gas fitter. He walked us through how it all works before leaving. When the power went out last month, we barely noticed. Worth every penny.
Doug Raymond
Our insurance company wouldn't renew until the old knob-and-tube wiring was gone, and we were dreading the mess. DMJ Electric replaced it room by room, kept the drywall patches small, and finished ahead of schedule. Honest, careful, and easy to deal with. Highly recommend for older homes.
