Renovation wiring across York — rear additions, basement underpinning and whole-house updates, from a shop on McRoberts Avenue.
York renovations tend to be about making a modest house work harder: digging the basement down for headroom, adding to the back, opening the main floor. Most of them touch the electrical service in some way, and in York’s older houses the service is often the first thing that has to change.
New space at the back, with circuits and capacity to match.
Panel and service moves planned around the basement dig.
Kitchens and living areas rewired around a new layout.
Fuse panels and small services replaced as part of the project.
Three situations come up again and again.
Lowering a basement floor usually means the panel and service entrance have to move or be raised temporarily. That needs Toronto Hydro involvement for a disconnect, and it is far easier planned than discovered.
A rear addition with a new kitchen or bathroom can push a York house's original service past what it carries. The load calculation belongs at the start of the project.
Renovating around original wiring and closing it in is the most common regret we hear. If the walls are open, it is the moment to replace it.

Usually. The panel and service entrance are often in the basement, so they have to be moved or temporarily relocated. That needs a Toronto Hydro disconnect, which we book in advance.

Yes, and it is usually the most efficient time to do it. The house is already disrupted and the walls are often open.
Yes. We coordinate with your GC's schedule and work cleanly around other trades.
We do — the ESA notification, rough-in inspection and final are filed and arranged by us.
