Joe Fernandes

Andrew and his crew were very professional and accommodating. They did two jobs for me and I was extremely interested at how quickly and on budget they were able to do these jobs. Andrew had good ideas that helped make the final product much better. They were also patient and able to answer question that made me feel comfortable throughout the process. I would recommend them to anyone looking for great electrical work.

Andrew is a wonderful, trustworthy electrician. He bought us a complicated part for our entryway light fixture, and installed late one evening after working all day on a separate project. My family is absolutely thrilled, finally able to see each other in the dark cold Toronto winter nights. Highly recommend!

Blowing 40's as a youth

Had a large piece of ice fall on a conduit that was connected to the meter. The base cracked and the conduit had to be replaced. I am happy with Andrew's work, outcome looks clean, and he is fair and friendly.

Andrew did some amazing electrical work on our house. From appliances to pot lights, Andrew went from basement to attic to install the correct wiring. He had some really creative ideas to achieve what we needed. He upgraded our electrical panel and even included a charger for an EV. He even wired our outdoor pergola. Andrew is prompt, creative, courteous, speedy and extremely hard-working. He did an incredible job with the electrical on our house. We highly recommend him.

Thank you Andrew I'm very pleased with your recommendations and how quickly the job was done. I had a loud bathroom fan, which you recommended a much quieter one. Love the quiet. We had old pot lights which we really didn't know what to do about them. You recommended pot lights that could easily replace the old ones. A more modern look and we are so very happy with the end results. No damage was done while installing the lights or the fan and the job areas were clean when you left. Thank you again totally will be recommending you to everyone we know.

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?
