Oshawa's Trusted Electrical Contractor

Oshawa has a large stock of older homes built during the auto industry boom — many have 60–100A panels and aging wiring that simply cannot keep pace with modern electrical loads. We do a high volume of panel upgrades, knob-and-tube replacement, and basement finishing electrical for Oshawa homeowners and rental property landlords. If your home was built before 1975, there's a reasonable chance you need an electrical assessment.

We serve all Oshawa neighbourhoods including McLaughlin, Vanier, Farewell, Lakeview, Samac, Pinecrest, Donevan, O'Neill, and Eastdale. Our licensed Master Electricians are ESA-certified and handle every job from free assessment through permit, installation, and inspection.

Oshawa's Aging Electrical Stock

Oshawa's residential growth mirrored the rise of the automotive industry — the city expanded rapidly from the 1940s through the 1970s, producing block after block of working-class homes that have served their residents well for decades. The electrical systems in many of these homes, however, have not kept pace with modern needs. A 60-amp fuse panel from 1955 was adequate then; today it's a liability — for your insurance coverage, for your safety, and for the ability to run a modern household.

Panel upgrades from 60A or 100A to 200A are our most frequent service in Oshawa. We coordinate with Oshawa Power for the service interruption, complete the panel swap in a single day, and have the ESA inspection done promptly. The inspection certificate we provide protects your insurance coverage and satisfies any insurer requirements for updated electrical documentation.

Rental property landlords in Oshawa rely on us regularly. The student population near Ontario Tech University drives a strong rental market, and many landlords are being pushed by insurers or property managers to upgrade electrical systems in their rental units.
