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.

Do you work on boathouses and dock electrical in Port Carling?

Yes - extensively. CSA-listed outdoor and submersible-rated fixtures, GFCI protection at the source, proper grounding to the waterline, and dock lighting that survives the winter. We also wire boatlifts and shore power for vessels.

Can you install a standby generator at a cottage we only visit on weekends?

Yes - and the use case (keep the freezer and the well pump alive when you are not there) is what most of our Port Carling standby installs are built around. Remote monitoring options vary by brand; we will tell you what is real and what is marketing.

Climate & cottage notes
