We needed work done ASAP and these lovely guys came out on a Sunday! They were so knowledgeable, kind and had the work done in no time. They’ll be our new go to for any electrical needs we have. Don’t hesitate to contact them!

Arif and his team are excellent! They did an amp upgrade on our home and provided a competitive price, extremely quick customer service, and very thorough work. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Shannon Craig

Our job was a big job requiring electrical to be run from the front of the home to the backyard garage. The team gave a competitive quote while really problem solving with us to balance costs and upheaval to our home and walls. New hottub copper wiring requirements were a surprise but the team handled them perfectly and impressed our landscaper and arctic spas. They also pushed hard so we coukd surprise the kids with our new backyard spa when they came home for their university Christmas break. I would highly recommend them!

I called Expert GTA Electric for an issue we were having with a newly bought house. We worked closely with Arif. He was incredibly professional and went above and beyond at every step to ensure we got the best service possible. He made sure to explain everything thoroughly. I would recommend Arif and his team any day and look forward to working with them again.

I usually don't write reviews, but I was so impressed with Arif and his team that I decided to. They were very friendly, good communicators, and very efficient. The workmanship was first rate. When I need future electrical or HVAC work I will definitely use Expert GTA again!

Before you hire an electrician in Ontario

Yes, twice over. The person needs a 309A Certificate of Qualification; the business needs an ECRA/ESA Electrical Contractor Licence.

ECRA/ESA Electrical Contractor Licence

A seven-digit number that must appear on advertising, vehicles, quotes and invoices. If you cannot find it on the quote, ask - a licensed contractor is required to provide it.

Verify with: The Electrical Safety Authority publishes a contractor lookup at esasafe.com.

Certificate of Qualification, 309A Electrician

Held by the individual. A licensed contractor employs certified electricians and apprentices; the apprentices work under supervision.

Verify with: Skilled Trades Ontario maintains the public register.

ESA notification (the permit) for the specific job

Most work beyond replacing a light fixture requires the contractor to file a notification with ESA and have the work inspected. You should receive a Certificate of Acceptance when it passes. Keep it. You will want it when you sell.

Verify with: ESA confirms whether a notification was filed for your address.

General liability insurance and WSIB clearance

Two million in liability is standard. Electrical fires are the reason this is not a box-ticking exercise.

Questions worth asking

  • What is your ECRA/ESA licence number? (Then look it up before you sign anything.)
  • Will you file the ESA notification, and is the fee included in this price?
  • Will I receive the Certificate of Acceptance when the work passes inspection?
  • Is my panel at capacity? If this job needs a service upgrade, I want to know now rather than halfway through.
  • Who is physically doing the work - a certified electrician or an apprentice under supervision?
