Service calls, rewiring, panel upgrades, pot lights and EV charging for Toronto homes — licensed, ESA-certified, and obsessively clean.
From a single dead outlet to a whole-home rewire, Toronto homeowners call us for the same reasons: the work gets done right, on time, and we leave the place cleaner than we found it.
Dead outlets, warm switch plates, breakers that won't stay on — properly diagnosed rather than guessed at.
Repairs →Recessed lighting in plaster and drywall ceilings, dimming, and fixture upgrades that suit the room.
Lighting →60 and 100-amp services brought up to modern 200A, with permits and Toronto Hydro coordination handled.
Panel upgrades →Room-by-room replacement in century homes, planned to protect original plaster and trim.
Rewiring →
Copper pigtailing at every device with the ESA certificate your insurer asks for.
Aluminum wiring →Level 2 charging at home, load-calculated first so you know whether an upgrade is really needed.
EV chargers →Kitchens, basements and second-storey additions, coordinated with your GC from rough-in to final.
Renovation wiring →Pre-purchase and insurance inspections with documented, prioritized findings.
Inspections →Toronto’s housing spans more than a century of wiring practice. Knowing what’s behind the wall before we open it is half the job.
Riverdale, the Annex, Roncesvalles, High Park and the older east end. Knob-and-tube, cloth-insulated conductors, ungrounded two-prong outlets and 60-amp services — often all in the same house. Insurers are the usual reason people finally call.
Bungalows and side-splits across the inner suburbs. This era brought early NM cable and, from the mid-1960s, aluminum branch wiring. Panels from this period are typically at or past the end of their service life.
Concrete ceilings, compact in-suite panels, and building rules about access and insurance. Modern wiring, so the work is additive: lighting, dedicated circuits, and smart devices installed without damaging finishes.
You get a straight explanation of the problem and your options in plain language, a clear price before work begins, and a licensed electrician who shows up when we said we would. Panels are left tidy and circuits labelled. Permitted work is filed with the ESA and you get the certificate. And we are, frankly, obsessive about cleanliness — drop sheets down, shop vac out, nothing left behind. It’s why our Google rating sits at 5.0 across 53 reviews, and why most of our work comes from referrals.
Midtown, downtown, the east end and the west — plus the wider GTA. See everything we do in the city on our Toronto electrician page.
Yes — service calls and small jobs are the core of what we do. A new dimmer, a dead outlet, a bathroom fan, a dryer circuit: no job is too small to do properly. We'll tell you honestly if something is better bundled with other work.
First, an inspection to establish what's actually still energized — often less than people fear. Ontario's code isn't retroactive, and the ESA permits existing knob-and-tube to remain where it's on a 15-amp fuse or breaker, no outlets have been added to the original circuit, and the visible wiring is in good condition. Insurers, though, set their own rules, and many now decline energized knob-and-tube outright. We'll document what you have and quote the remediation that actually resolves your insurer's requirement.
Not automatically. Ontario's code still permits aluminum wiring, and the ESA's position is that it's safe when connections and terminations are made correctly. The risk is at the terminations, which loosen over decades — especially where previous owners installed copper-only devices during a cosmetic update. The standard fix is copper pigtailing with approved connectors at every device, documented with an ESA certificate.
Yes, and it's routine work for us in Toronto's older housing. Lath-and-plaster needs a different approach than drywall — careful joist location, the right hole saws, and fishing wire without opening the whole ceiling. Done properly, patching is minimal.
Most electrical work in Ontario has to be filed with the ESA — new circuits, panel changes, EV chargers, rewiring. Like-for-like swaps such as replacing a light fixture generally don't. As an ESA/ECRA-licensed contractor (Licence #7014949) we file the notification and arrange the inspection on every job that needs one, and you get the certificate for your records and your insurer.
Straight answers, clear pricing, and work you won't have to think about again.
