Electrician Forest Hill
Toronto · Forest Hill
Electrical work for Forest Hill's period homes and custom rebuilds — planned around the house, finished to the standard the street expects.
Forest Hill was its own village from 1923 until it was absorbed into Toronto in 1967, and its housing still reflects that: substantial Georgian, Tudor and colonial revival homes from the 1920s to the 1940s, alongside a steady stream of custom rebuilds. Both ask a lot of the electrical system, for very different reasons.
Original circuits in 1920s and 30s houses replaced zone by zone, with plaster and mouldings protected.
Service, panels, lighting control and low-voltage planned with your architect from the drawings.
Layered lighting for principal rooms, with consistent colour temperature and dimming that works.
Two-car charging, load management and standby generators sized for large homes.
Three situations come up again and again on Forest Hill streets.
A 1930s Forest Hill house has usually been updated in pieces. Some circuits are modern, some are original, and the service is often smaller than the house now needs. Mapping what is actually live comes before any quote.
New homes here are large and heavily loaded: heated floors, steam showers, multiple EV chargers, a pool or a generator. In Toronto, a service larger than 200 amps has to come underground, which belongs in the plan from the start.
In a principal room, where a fixture sits and how the light falls matters as much as whether it works. We plan positions and colour temperature before anything is cut.
What is original, what has been updated, and what the service can carry.
Service, panel location, lighting and controls agreed with your designer or builder.
Drop sheets, dust control and finished rooms protected, then everything tested and explained.
We work right across Forest Hill and the surrounding streets. See our Toronto electricians page, or go straight to Toronto services: panel upgrades · rewiring · EV chargers · pot lights · renovations · generators · pools & hot tubs.
Yes. We rewire 1920s to 1940s homes zone by zone, working from basements, attics and closets to keep openings small, and we plan routes around plaster and mouldings you want to keep.
Yes — service, panels, lighting design and controls, coordinated with your architect and builder from the drawing stage, including an underground service where the house needs more than 200 amps.
Often, yes. We calculate the load first; in larger homes with air conditioning, heated floors or a pool, load management usually lets two chargers share capacity without an oversized service.
Yes. We size the generator to what you need to run, place it within the manufacturer's clearances, and coordinate the gas connection with a licensed gas technician.
Yes — ECRA/ESA licence 7014949, $5M liability insurance and full WSIB coverage. Every job is notified to the ESA and inspected.
Why insurance, not code, decides most rewires.
