Call (416) 828-6976Serving North York
North York’s mix of established family homes and newer highrise developments means every electrical job is a little different. We provide panel upgrades, lighting installations, and commercial electrical service throughout North York, sized to whether you’re in a detached home or a multi-unit building.
Detached homes in Newtonbrook and Bathurst Manor, many built from the 1950s through the 1970s, often need a panel upgrade to support central air, EV charging, or a basement renovation. In Willowdale and Bayview Village, where highrise and mid-rise condo development has grown quickly, we do more in-suite electrical work and coordinate with property management on building-wide upgrades. Don Mills’ mix of older homes and commercial plazas keeps us busy with both residential panel work and retail lighting retrofits.

More about our work in North York
Overview
We provide restaurant electrician for homes and businesses throughout North York, including Willowdale, Don Mills, Bayview Village, Newtonbrook, and the rest of North York.
Commercial kitchens run on dedicated circuits for fryers, ovens, walk-in coolers, dishwashers, and exhaust hoods, an Ansul fire suppression system wired to shut down power and gas on discharge, and enough panel capacity to add equipment without tripping breakers during a dinner rush. We install and repair electrical systems for restaurants, cafes, and commercial kitchens, including new equipment circuits, hood suppression shunt trip interlocks, walk-in cooler and freezer wiring, exit and emergency lighting, and panel upgrades for kitchens outgrowing their existing service. Electrovoltage works with restaurant owners, kitchen designers, and general contractors on new builds, renovations, and equipment changeovers across Toronto and the GTA, scheduling around service hours so the kitchen stays open.

- Dedicated circuits for cooking & refrigeration equipment
- Scheduling around service hours to keep the kitchen open
Why It Matters
A restaurant kitchen has less room for electrical shortcuts than almost any other commercial space. Health inspectors and fire code both check the same things: a properly wired hood suppression shunt trip that actually kills power and gas to cooking equipment when the system discharges, dedicated circuits for refrigeration so a tripped breaker doesn’t mean spoiled inventory overnight, and exit and emergency lighting that works when it’s tested. Beyond code, kitchens add equipment over time, a second fryer, a new walk-in, a bigger dish machine, and a panel that was sized for the original build often can’t take the load without nuisance trips or an upgrade. And because every hour the kitchen is closed for electrical work is an hour of lost revenue, restaurant electrical work has to be planned around your service hours, not the other way around.
How Restaurant Electrician Works
- 1
Kitchen walkthrough & equipment list
We review your kitchen layout, existing panel capacity, and equipment nameplates (or planned equipment for a new build) to scope the work.
- 2
Circuit & code planning
We plan dedicated circuits for cooking, refrigeration, and dish equipment, and confirm hood suppression interlock and emergency lighting requirements for your permit and inspections.
- 3
Installation scheduled around service hours
We carry out the wiring, panel, and interlock work on the schedule that works for your kitchen, including overnight or early-morning windows before service.
- 4
Testing & sign-off
We test every circuit and the suppression shunt trip under real conditions, and provide ESA inspection documentation for your health and fire inspections.
What Affects the Cost
Cost depends on how much of the kitchen is new versus existing wiring, whether your panel has spare capacity or needs an upgrade, the number of dedicated equipment circuits required, and whether a hood suppression interlock or emergency lighting system needs to be installed or brought up to code.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a hood suppression shunt trip and why does my kitchen need one?
- A shunt trip interlock automatically cuts power (and gas, where required) to cooking equipment when your Ansul or wet chemical fire suppression system discharges. It’s required by fire code for commercial kitchen hoods and checked during fire inspections.
- Can you add circuits for new kitchen equipment without a full rewire?
- In most cases yes. If your panel has spare capacity, we can add dedicated circuits for new equipment like a fryer, cooler, or dish machine without touching the rest of the kitchen’s wiring.
- Do you work around our operating hours?
- Yes, we schedule restaurant electrical work for overnight, early-morning, or closed days so installation and repairs don’t interrupt service.
- Can you handle electrical work for a new restaurant build-out?
- Yes, we work with restaurant owners, kitchen designers, and general contractors on full electrical scopes for new builds and renovations, coordinated with your permit timeline and opening date.
- Do you install walk-in cooler and freezer circuits?
- Yes, we install dedicated circuits for walk-in coolers and freezers so refrigeration isn’t sharing a circuit with other kitchen equipment, reducing the risk of a nuisance trip spoiling inventory.
- How much does restaurant electrical work cost?
- Cost depends on your existing panel capacity, how many dedicated circuits are needed, and whether suppression interlock or emergency lighting work is involved. We provide a clear quote after reviewing your kitchen.
