FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you handle ESA permits and inspections for commercial projects?

Yes. We take care of all required ESA Notifications of Work and coordinate rough-in and final inspections to ensure your project is fully compliant with the Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC).

Can you work after hours to avoid disrupting my business?

Absolutely. We offer evening, weekend, and off-hours service to minimize downtime for your staff, customers, or tenants. This is common for retail, offices, and restaurants.

Do you install separate meters for multi-tenant buildings?

Yes. We install and configure individual hydro meters and load-segregated panels for plazas, commercial buildings, and mixed-use developments. We also work with utility providers for metering approval.

Can you provide a quote based on drawings or site plans?

Yes. We regularly provide detailed estimates from electrical drawings or architectural plans. For design-build projects, we can also assist with load calculations, layout suggestions, and code compliance.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance contracts for commercial buildings?

Yes. We provide preventive maintenance programs, including routine inspections, panel tightening, emergency lighting checks, and thermal imaging reports to help you avoid costly downtime.

Can you wire commercial HVAC, rooftop units, and mechanical equipment?

Yes. We specialize in HVAC wiring, including disconnects, control circuits, and coordination with mechanical contractors for rooftop units, air handling systems, and building exhaust fans.

What types of commercial buildings do you service?

We handle electrical work for retail stores, offices, restaurants, medical clinics, warehouses, industrial units, schools, and mixed-use residential-commercial buildings across Ontario.

Are your electricians licensed and insured for commercial work?

Yes. All work is performed by fully licensed electricians and registered apprentices under our ESA/ECRA electrical contracting license, backed by WSIB and liability insurance.

What happens if I need an urgent repair in a commercial space?

We offer priority service and emergency response for critical issues such as power loss, electrical hazards, or system failures. Fast troubleshooting helps reduce downtime and restore safe operation quickly.

Can you help with power distribution for new equipment or layouts?

Definitely. We install subpanels, transformers, and dedicated circuits for new equipment, office layouts, commercial kitchens, and industrial machinery.

Do you install commercial EV chargers?

Yes. We install Level 2 and Level 3 EV charging stations for commercial plazas, office buildings, and fleet charging, including demand/load management if needed.

What’s the lead time for starting a commercial project?

It depends on the project’s scope. Smaller jobs can start in a few days. Larger fit-outs or service upgrades typically require 1–3 weeks for permit filing, equipment ordering, and scheduling with inspectors or utility providers.

Can you work as a subcontractor for larger GC projects?

Yes. We regularly partner with general contractors and developers to provide electrical services for commercial builds, renovations, and compliance upgrades. We’re familiar with project coordination, site safety, and inspection scheduling.

Can you help bring an older commercial building up to current electrical code?

Yes. We provide full code upgrade services, including rewiring, panel replacement, grounding improvements, and ESA compliance. We also assist with correcting ESA deficiencies noted during inspections or real estate transactions.

Do you offer lighting retrofits for energy savings?

Absolutely. We specialize in LED lighting upgrades, daylight harvesting systems, and advanced lighting controls (e.g., occupancy sensors, 0-10V dimming). These upgrades can lower operating costs and may qualify for rebates through Ontario energy programs.

What’s your process for working with general contractors or engineers?

We coordinate directly with project managers, site supervisors, and consultants, follow construction schedules, attend site meetings, and provide as-built drawings and documentation as needed. We’re experienced in multi-trade environments and respect timelines and safety protocols.

Can you wire equipment with specific voltage or phase requirements?

Yes. We install dedicated circuits and distribution systems for equipment requiring 208V, 240V, or 600V, single- or three-phase. We’ll verify compatibility, size the wiring appropriately, and ensure proper protection.

Can you provide ESA certificates for completed commercial work?

Yes. After final inspection and approval by the Electrical Safety Authority, we provide official ESA certificates for your records, required by landlords, insurance providers, or building officials.

Are you familiar with hospital, long-term care, or institutional wiring standards?

Yes. We understand the specialized requirements for health care facilities, including essential and non-essential power systems, low-voltage call systems, and CSA/ESA wiring standards. We also coordinate closely with fire alarm and nurse call system integrators.
