Electrical inspections for Toronto homes — before you buy, before you renovate, or when your insurer asks what is behind the walls.
In Toronto, an electrical inspection usually starts with a question someone else asked: a home inspector who wrote ‘knob-and-tube present’, an insurer who wants it documented, a contractor who will not quote a renovation blind. Our job is to answer it properly — what is actually there, what is live, and what it means.
What the house's wiring really is, before your conditions expire.
A licensed contractor's written assessment when your insurer asks about older wiring.
Know what you are building around before the walls open.
A panel directory that matches reality, so every future repair is faster.
Three findings dominate inspections in the city.
Porcelain knobs in a basement do not mean the system is energised — many Toronto homes have decommissioned K&T stapled in place. The inspection that matters traces what is actually live, because that is what an insurer cares about.
Most older Toronto houses have been rewired in pieces. An inspection maps which circuits are original, which are modern, and where the two meet — which is usually where the problems are.
Three-prong receptacles on circuits with no ground are common. They pass a glance and fail a tester, and they matter for anything that relies on a ground.
Purchase, insurance or renovation — the purpose decides what we focus on.
Panel, service entrance, a representative set of circuits and devices, and anything already flagged.
What is there, what is live, what is urgent and what can be planned.
We work right across Toronto. If your street is not listed it almost certainly still counts — see electrical inspections in full, or our Toronto electricians page.
An ESA inspection reviews specific work that a contractor has notified. Ours is a licensed electrical contractor's assessment of the whole system — what is there, its condition and what it means. Buyers and insurers usually want the latter.
Yes — tell us the condition deadline when you book and we will prioritise it. We can often attend alongside other inspections if the seller permits access.
Yes. We trace which circuits are actually energised and provide a written assessment from a licensed contractor. Many insurers accept that, and some will accept partial remediation if it is documented.
Within your unit, yes — the panel, circuits and devices. Building systems belong to the corporation and are outside a unit inspection.
No. We tell you what is urgent and what can be planned, and quote only work you ask us to. An inspection is for information, not a sales call.
What a notification is, who files it, and what the inspector actually checks.
