Can you retrofit my old fixtures to LED?

Yes - and it usually pays back inside two years on commercial sites and three to four on residential. Full fixture swaps, retrofit kits where the housing is reusable, and dimmer compatibility checks (a lot of older dimmers will not work with modern LED drivers; we identify and replace those at the same time).

Do you do landscape and dock lighting?

Yes - low-voltage landscape lighting for paths, gardens, and trees, and proper line-voltage dock and shoreline lighting for Muskoka waterfront homes. CSA-listed outdoor fixtures, GFCI protection, and grounding that survives a Muskoka winter.

Can you add pot lights to an existing ceiling?

Yes - one of the most common calls we get. Old-construction LED pot lights with shallow can depth so we do not have to open the ceiling, dimmer planning so you do not end up with flickering on day one, and we patch around the cuts if there are any.

Is Dundas part of Hamilton?

Yes - the former Town of Dundas amalgamated into the City of Hamilton in 2001. From a service and permitting perspective it is Hamilton (Alectra utility, City of Hamilton permits, etc.).

My Dundas home has knob-and-tube and my insurer is asking - what do I do?

Standard insurance-driven K&T story. We do an inspection, document the active runs, and quote either an incremental replacement (if the K&T is localized) or a whole-house rewire (if it is everywhere). Either way the ESA permit and certificate are part of the package.

Local context

Dundas lighting installation - LED retrofits, smart switching, landscape & dock.

Dundas pre-dates much of the surrounding municipal development and the building stock reflects it - a substantial share of pre-1950 homes around the downtown core, with the typical legacy wiring concerns (K&T, 60A services, FPE panels). McMaster University adjacency drives a steady stream of rental-property electrical work where landlords are managing insurance and code compliance.

Lighting (Interior, Exterior, Landscape) in Dundas spans the boring (a fixture swap) through the substantial: whole-home LED retrofits with dimmer compatibility audits, smart switching layouts (Lutron Caseta and RA3 are our defaults), pot light installs in finished ceilings, and the landscape and dock lighting work that Dundas properties around Dundas Driving Park, Webster Falls, Tew Falls ask for every season. CSA-listed fixtures, GFCI protection, and grounding that survives an Ontario winter.

We are ESA Licensed Electrical Contractor (LEC) (ESA/ECRA-7017877), 309A Master Electricians, insured and bonded. If you are in Dundas and you need lighting work done, call (705) 242-9090 - a real person answers during business hours.

The main cottage panel is full. The new bunkie needs power. The boathouse has been on an extension cord for a decade. A sub-panel at the remote structure is the right answer - and the install detail is different at each one.
