Basement & renovation wiring in Scarborough: what to expect
Renovations in Scarborough usually mean a panel that was sized for the house as built, not as renovated. We plan the electrical for the finished space — circuits, lighting, data and alarms — and book ESA inspections so drywall isn't held up.
Legal secondary units are a big part of renovation work in Scarborough. A second unit needs its own considerations: interconnected smoke and CO alarms, separate lighting and receptacle circuits, often a sub-panel, and a load calculation to confirm the service can carry two households.
We work directly for homeowners or alongside your general contractor, with a clear rough-in window so other trades keep moving.
Local notes: Scarborough
Plazas and industrial. Retail plazas along Kennedy, Midland and Sheppard, and industrial areas in the north: fit-outs, lighting and maintenance.
Basement suites. Many Scarborough bungalows have — or are adding — basement apartments. The electrical has to be designed for two households: separate circuits, interconnected alarms and, often, a sub-panel.

Questions from Scarborough
Do you wire legal basement apartments in Scarborough?
Yes — sub-panels, separate circuits, interconnected smoke and CO alarms, lighting, and the ESA inspections.

After framing, before insulation (rough-in). ESA inspects, drywall goes up, then we return for devices and the final.
Can you work with my contractor?
Yes — most renovation work is coordinated with a GC or designer.
