Upfront price

A written number before work starts. Surprises belong in birthdays, not invoices.

The work, to code

Clean runs, labelled breakers, floors swept. Our licence number is on the truck — and the estimate.

ESA inspection & certificate

We file the notification; you get the Certificate of Acceptance for your records and your insurer.

Licensed means legal

In Ontario, only Licensed Electrical Contractors can do this work

Not handymen. Not general contractors. Not “a guy who’s good with wiring.” The law is on your side — use it.

Verify us in two minutes

Every legitimate electrical contractor carries an ECRA/ESA licence number and shows it everywhere — truck, estimate, website. Look ours up in the ESA’s public contractor registry before we ever visit.

Permits & paperwork, handled

We file the ESA notification for every job that needs one, the work gets inspected, and you receive the Certificate of Acceptance — the document your insurer and your future buyer will ask about.

Know the red flags

Cash-only pricing, “you pull the permit,” no licence number on the truck — walk away. Unpermitted electrical work can void insurance claims and stall a home sale.

Word of mouth

4.9★ and every breaker labelled

★★★★★

“Panel upgrade for our EV charger. They did the load calculation, told us we did NOT need the full upgrade, and saved us two grand with a load-management device. Who does that?”

Aleks P.Whitby
★★★★★

“Breaker kept tripping for months. Found a cooked junction behind the dryer in twenty minutes and showed me the photos. Fixed same visit.”

Renee T.Oshawa
★★★★★

“Knob-and-tube remediation for our 1948 house — insurer accepted the ESA certificate without a single question.”

What owners actually ask

How much does an EV charger installation cost?

Most Level 2 installs land between $900 and $2,400 including the ESA notification; a long run to a detached garage or a panel near capacity moves the number up. Sometimes a load-management device around $400 avoids a panel upgrade entirely — we run the load calculation and tell you honestly.

Do I need an ESA permit for electrical work?

Most real electrical work in Ontario requires a notification to the Electrical Safety Authority and an inspection — new circuits, panel changes, EV chargers, hot tubs. We file it as part of every job, and you receive the Certificate of Acceptance for your records and your insurer.

Do I need a panel upgrade?

Only a load calculation can say for sure. Older 100A panels near capacity often do — especially with an EV charger or hot tub coming — but if a smaller fix serves you better, that’s the one we’ll recommend. Upgrades typically run $2,400–$4,000 with permit and inspection.

What counts as an electrical emergency?

No power to part of the house, a burning smell, a hot or buzzing panel, sparking — call the emergency line, day or night. If it can safely wait for morning, we’ll say that too and save you the after-hours rate.
