Electrician
in Toronto

Licensed electricians serving all of Toronto — Downtown, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, East York, and every neighbourhood in between. Local since 2003.

Toronto's Trusted Electrical Contractor

Safe Electrical Solutions has been serving Toronto homeowners and businesses since 2003. Our office is based right here in the city — at 26 Hertford Ave in the west end — and our trucks are stationed across Toronto so we can respond fast, whether you're in Roncesvalles or Rouge Hill.

We hold ESA License No. 7010337 and carry full liability insurance on every job. Every project is performed by a licensed Master Electrician — not an apprentice working unsupervised. That's the difference between a company that's been here for 20 years and one that showed up last year.

Electrical Services for Toronto Homes

Toronto's housing stock is one of the most varied in Canada. We work on everything — century-old detached homes in the Annex, postwar bungalows in Scarborough, 1980s condos in North York, and brand-new builds in the city's growing neighbourhoods. Our electricians know what to expect from each era of construction.

  • Electrical panel upgrades — especially common in pre-1980s Toronto homes still running on 60A or 100A fuse panels
  • Knob-and-tube wiring replacement — found in many homes built before 1950; required by most insurers before coverage is extended
  • Aluminum wiring reconditioning — common in 1960s–70s Toronto homes; requires specific remediation techniques
  • EV charger installation — growing demand across all Toronto neighbourhoods as EV ownership rises
  • Pot light installation — extremely popular in Toronto renovations; we specialize in finished-ceiling installs
  • Basement suite wiring — dedicated circuits, AFCI/GFCI protection, separate panel feeds where required
  • 24/7 emergency electrical service — licensed electricians available overnight, on weekends, and on holidays

Frequently Asked Questions — Toronto

Do I need an ESA permit for electrical work in Toronto?
Most electrical work in Toronto that involves new circuits, panel changes, or service upgrades requires an ESA permit. Safe Electrical Solutions handles all permit applications and coordinates the required inspections — you don't need to deal with the paperwork.
My Toronto home has knob-and-tube wiring. What should I do?
Knob-and-tube is found in many Toronto homes built before 1950. Most insurers will not extend coverage without remediation. Safe Electrical Solutions assesses the extent of the wiring, recommends a remediation plan, and can replace it fully or partially depending on your needs and budget.
Do you work on condo units in Toronto?
Yes, with some limitations. Condo units have their own electrical panels (typically fed from the building's common system) and we can work within the unit. Any changes to the building's common electrical infrastructure require approval from the condo corporation, which we can assist with the documentation for.
What areas of Toronto do you service?
We serve all areas within the City of Toronto — Downtown, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, East York, and York. We also serve the broader GTA including Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, and surrounding areas.
