CRB Electric & Services

CRB Electric & Services is a Halifax-area electrician built around one name: Charlie, who South Shore homeowners call for everything from small fixture swaps to full circuit work. The clearest story in the record is what happens when the power goes out at the worst time. After a tree tore the electric lines off one customer's house and left it without power for hours while National Grid was on the way, the homeowner called CRB — Charlie was there within the hour, after hours, and got the power back on. Most of the work described is more everyday: track and recessed lighting, a paddle fan on a cathedral ceiling, baseboard electric heat, wiring a mini-split system alongside the HVAC installers, replacing a defective floodlight, and running Ethernet cable, including a free follow-up when a port acted up later. Several customers describe hiring him more than once and recommending him to friends. Google shows a 4.9-star average from 63 ratings, and the 13 reviews on file, running from 2022 through early 2026, are unanimous on the same points: on time, fair pricing, and careful work, with more than one reviewer calling out how quickly he responds and communicates. There's no complaint or licensing issue on record to weigh against that. Worth confirming directly: current availability, since part of the record dates back a few years, and a written quote up front for a bigger job like a mini-split tie-in. For anything from a storm-related outage to a lighting upgrade, CRB is worth calling — just get the specifics of any larger job in writing before he starts.
