Basement & renovation wiring in Toronto: what to expect
Renovations in Toronto usually mean older walls with surprises behind them. 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 Toronto. 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: Toronto
Commercial: main streets and offices. Restaurant, retail and office fit-outs along Queen, Dundas, the Danforth and downtown, with after-hours work where landlords require it.
Older homes, tight panels. The most common call we get in the old city is a full panel in a narrow semi — usually tied to a renovation, a basement suite or an EV. A 200 A upgrade and a staged rewire are often best done together.

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