Our Services
Residential Electrical Services
Our residential services cover the work most homes need: panel installations and service upgrades, LED lighting retrofits, EV chargers, hot tub and swim spa connections, renovation and new home wiring, and rewiring of knob and tube and ungrounded circuits. Every job is done to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, with the ESA notification and inspection where one is required.
Commercial Electrical Services
For businesses in Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo and surrounding areas, our commercial services include office and retail wiring, new and retrofit lighting, data and communication cabling, commercial EV charging stations, panel upgrades and service calls. We plan the work around your operations to keep downtime to a minimum. If you are weighing a lighting upgrade, our guide to commercial LED retrofits is a good place to start.
Panel Upgrades and Repairs
An outdated or undersized panel can limit what you add to your home or building. We assess your current panel and service, run the load calculation and recommend the right fix, which is not always a bigger service. Read more in our guide to 100-amp and 200-amp panel upgrades.
Lighting and Smart Home Installation
From pot lights and under-cabinet lighting to smart switches and controls, we install lighting that looks good and is easy to live with. Browse our projects gallery for examples of recent lighting work.
EV Charging Station Installation
We install EV chargers for homes and businesses, including Tesla chargers, and help you choose a charger and a location that make charging easy. See our guides to home Level 2 chargers and charging for workplaces and multi-unit buildings.
Emergency Electrical Services
