The mast letting go on Grenadier Road

On Grenadier Road, beside High Park, the hardware holding Toronto Hydro’s lines to the house — the clevis, up at the service mast — had failed. That hardware belongs to the homeowner, not to Hydro, so it was our call to take: a new clevis fitted properly, the service made sound, and the paper trail handled the way inspectors want to see it — ESA notification, a final inspection, and Toronto Hydro’s reconnection coordinated as its own step.

It’s the kind of Toronto job that never makes a highlight reel and absolutely has to be right: century-old brick, an overhead service, mature trees, and a utility timeline that doesn’t bend. It’s also the kind of job most small shops pass on. We don’t.

What we do in Toronto

The full range of residential electrical work, from the panel out — plus the bigger service work smaller shops can’t take on.

Troubleshooting & repairs

Breakers that trip, circuits that die and come back, faults nobody has found yet. We test and trace until the cause shows itself, then fix the cause — not the symptom.

Panel upgrades

Fuse panels and 60- or 100-amp services replaced with modern breaker panels sized for how you actually live — kitchens, EVs, hot tubs and all. Panel upgrades →

Clevis & service mast repair

The hardware where Hydro’s lines meet your house is yours to maintain. Rusted, pulling away, or flagged by Hydro or ESA, we replace it and coordinate the disconnect and reconnect. Clevis repair →

Lighting installation

Fixtures, pendants, sconces and layered lighting for homes wired for one ceiling bulb per room — and condos with concrete ceilings. Lighting installation →

Renovation wiring

Kitchens, basements and additions wired into older electrical systems — planned against your panel’s real capacity, permitted and inspected. Renovation wiring →

Knob-and-tube replacement

Toronto’s oldest homes still hide live knob-and-tube in walls and attics. We find what’s actually there and stage its replacement sensibly — often alongside renovation work.

Smart home — Lutron & Sonos

Lutron lighting controls and blinds, Sonos systems, and the racks behind them: troubleshooting, repair and tidy rebuilds when the technology stops listening. Lutron controls →

Whole-home surge protection

One surge can take out the electronics a modern home runs on. A panel-mounted protector guards the whole house at once. Surge protection →

Toronto work, recently

A few streets’ worth of what this city’s homes have asked us for lately.

A basement renovation in The Junction. On Maria Street, a full basement renovation wired into an older home’s electrical system: switches, dimmers and smart dimmers, receptacles throughout, and new protected circuits — planned against what the panel could honestly carry, and finished to inspection.

The breaker that tripped every time the oven ran. On Edwin Avenue, near Dupont, a breaker kept cutting out with the gas range. On the panel we found circuits sharing runs they shouldn’t have shared — and an arc-fault breaker being upset by a humidifier on its circuit. We separated the circuits onto their own breakers, installed two basement lights, and found live knob-and-tube still in service — flagged honestly, with a follow-up visit booked to inspect it properly. The customer paid in full and left a five-star review the same morning.

A penthouse rack gone dark at Old Mill. When the power unit in a home theatre rack failed, the Sonos zones, Lutron controls and stereo went with it. Everything was moved onto protected power the same day and the system came back to life — and when a like-for-like replacement for the failed unit priced out at $1,250, our advice was not to buy it: the protection the system actually needs costs a fraction of that.

★★★★★

Tricky wiring troubleshooting, done properly — with plain-English explanations along the way, and a return visit for a minor follow-up.

★★★★★

A tripping breaker traced and repaired, basement lights installed, and the knob-and-tube in the walls flagged honestly for a follow-up.

Toronto’s houses, electrically

Toronto’s residential stock spans a century of wiring practice, and most of our work starts with that history. The west-end homes around us were built when a service entrance, a fuse panel and a few circuits were plenty. Many still run 60- or 100-amp services, and knob-and-tube still turns up in walls and attics that haven’t been opened since — we found live runs in a Junction Triangle home just this fall, in a house whose panel had been “modernized” around it.

Overhead services are the other Toronto constant: masts and clevises holding Hydro’s lines against a century of wind, ice and tree growth, on hardware the homeowner owns. And at the other end of the city’s housing, condo towers bring their own electrical world — concrete ceilings, ageing dimmers, and racks of Sonos and Lutron gear installed when the building was new and now reaching the age where things fail together.

Different houses, same discipline: find the real condition first, quote it in writing, then do the work once.

Toronto questions, answered

What does an electrician in Toronto cost?
It depends on the work, which is why every job starts with a written quote: we look at the job — photos are often enough for a first price — and you approve the number before anything starts. No hourly surprises, and if the job changes, the change is quoted and approved first too. You can request a quote online or call (647) 560-7995.
Are you licensed? What does ECRA/ESA 7014948 mean?
Yes. In Ontario, electrical work must be done by a licensed electrical contractor — ours is 3e Electrical Construction Inc., ECRA/ESA licence 7014948, led by a licensed master electrician. Work that requires an ESA permit gets one, with inspection, and our workmanship is covered by the DecadeShield 10-year warranty. Anyone offering electrical work in Ontario should be able to give you a licence number exactly like that.
My Toronto home has knob-and-tube wiring. What should I do?
First, find out how much is actually live — knob-and-tube was standard in its era, and what’s left is often a few runs, not the whole house. We trace and test what’s there, tell you plainly what matters (insurers ask about it, and it doesn’t pair well with modern insulation), and stage replacement where it counts — often alongside renovation work, so walls open once.
What’s involved in upgrading to a 200-amp service?
A new panel and service entrance sized for the load, an ESA permit and inspection, and Toronto Hydro’s disconnect and reconnect coordinated into the job — the city’s part of the schedule, not an afterthought. Most Toronto homes considering an EV charger, a hot tub or a major renovation land here. We’ll calculate your actual load first: where 100 amps honestly suffices, we’ll tell you that instead.
Do you work in condos and outside Toronto?
Both. Condo work — lighting, dimmers, smoke and CO alarms, smart controls — is a regular part of our week, including concrete-ceiling buildings where the approach is different from a house. And while Toronto is home, we work across Etobicoke, North York and Mississauga as well; our service areas page has the full map.
