How fast can you get to my house?

Same- or next-business-day for most residential calls in Huntsville, Hamilton, Burlington, and Waterdown. Cottage calls in deeper Muskoka are typically next-day. Send a panel photo and a description of the job to (705) 242-9090 or via the request form and we will get back to you quickly.

Are you ESA licensed?

Yes. We are an ESA Licensed Electrical Contractor (LEC) and our installers are 309A Master Electricians. Every job that requires it gets pulled on an ESA permit and inspected - non-negotiable, and the only legal way to do electrical work in Ontario.

What does a typical service call cost?

A standard residential diagnostic visit is a flat call-out fee plus billable time on site. We quote the fix in writing before any work starts - no surprises on the invoice.

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.
