Great service from the team at mapleelectricsupply.ca!
Also really good rates on Arlington products, appreciate it.
The Gard-N-Post looks great, very clean and professional looking. Easy to install. The part was back ordered, the team at Maple Electric called me immediately after my order was placed to see if I wanted to look for alternative or wait. I decided to wait and it arrived earlier than expected. Very Happy. Would definitely use Maple Electric Supply again.
