Martin

Shane did an excellent job installing several light fixtures and adding new outlets in my home. His work was clean, precise, and clearly done with a high level of care and attention to detail. He’s extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Communication was great throughout — he was responsive, professional, and very helpful whenever I had questions. Everything was completed efficiently, and the final results look fantastic. I’m very happy with the work and would absolutely hire Shane again. Highly recommend New Toronto Electric to anyone looking for a reliable and professional electrician.

Shane installed new wiring to accommodate a range we were installing. It was a pleasure to work with him. He treated us like family. Highly responsive and answered all of our questions. He was mindful our priorities and a great problem-solver. He's a confident electrician and I would definitely work with him again.

Shane is fantastic - friendly, competent electrician! He made himself available immediately without hesitation. Did a great job and is very fairly priced. So glad I found him and recommend him to anyone needing a small or a big job - hands down.

I had a fantastic experience with Shane from New Toronto Electric They were professional, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable. They quickly diagnosed the issue and fixed it efficiently without cutting corners. What I appreciated most was the clear communication throughout the process and their attention to safety and cleanliness — they left everything spotless. It’s rare to find such reliable and honest workmanship these days. I’ll definitely be calling them again for any future electrical needs and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality service.

Damian Lane

I’ve used New Toronto Electrical a few times now and have been really impressed every time. Shane, the owner, is a top guy—super friendly, easy to get along with, and always respectful of your space. He shows up when he says he will, works efficiently, and keeps everything tidy. He’s fully licensed (ESA, WAB, etc.) and clearly experienced, especially with working in condos and dealing with property management rules. I had him install an EV charger in my underground garage and run a new 40 amp dryer line from one end of my condo to the other—both jobs were done perfectly. What I really appreciate is how considerate he is of the building and neighbours—he keeps noise down and sticks to reasonable work hours, which is a big deal in a condo setting. Highly recommend Shane if you’re looking for a reliable and professional electrician in Toronto. Couldn’t ask for better service.

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.

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?
