John Cutcliffe
Do not use this company if you are expecting technicians to arrive on time. They cancelled my first appointment because it was raining (why that stops work on an indoor sauna i have no idea), then I arranged another appointment which the technician completely failed to show up for. They however have time to call me up twice and berate me for being rude! after I had informed them that i no longer needed their services and would fins someone else. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
Bill Wittur
Great service and attention to detail. After coming across many inexperienced contractors, we're extremely happy to recommend Laforest.

Smart, professional, efficient and affordable. Got a spa wired from them and it was quick and easy. Inspector loved his work, and so did I! Highly recommended team of experts

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.
Check MJ Laforest Electrical Contractors Ltd on the official registerCertificate 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.
Check MJ Laforest Electrical Contractors Ltd on the official registerESA 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.
Check MJ Laforest Electrical Contractors Ltd on the official registerGeneral 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?
