Call (416) 828-6976Serving Toronto
From downtown condos to century homes in the older east and west end neighbourhoods, Toronto properties bring a wide range of electrical challenges: aging knob-and-tube wiring, undersized panels, and condo board requirements for EV charger installations. Our licensed electricians work across the city, providing code-compliant electrical service for homeowners, landlords, and businesses alike.
In older pockets like The Annex, Riverdale, and High Park, the most common calls we get are knob-and-tube and aluminum wiring assessments, panel upgrades ahead of a renovation, and insurance-driven electrical inspections during a home sale or refinance. In denser areas like Yorkville and downtown condo corridors, the work skews toward in-suite troubleshooting, lighting upgrades, and condo board–approved EV charger installations in shared parking garages. In The Beaches and Leslieville, potlight and backyard lighting installs are common alongside general panel and outlet work in century homes.
We regularly work in:The Annex,Leslieville,The Beaches,High Park,Riverdale,Yorkville, and the rest of Toronto.
More about our work in Toronto
Overview
We provide outlet installation & repair for homes and businesses throughout Toronto, including The Annex, Leslieville, The Beaches, High Park, and the rest of Toronto.
Whether you need an outlet added where there isn’t one, an existing outlet that’s stopped working, or GFCI protection brought up to current code near a sink, bathroom, or garage, we install and repair outlets for homes and businesses across Toronto and the GTA. That includes standard receptacles, GFCI and AFCI outlets, USB and USB-C combo outlets, tamper-resistant outlets for homes with kids, and dedicated circuits for larger appliances like microwaves, freezers, or workshop tools. We also troubleshoot outlets that have stopped working, feel warm, or spark when a plug is inserted, tracing the fault back to its actual source rather than just swapping the receptacle.
- GFCI, AFCI & USB/USB-C outlet installation
- Dedicated circuits for appliances & workshop tools
- Diagnosis & repair for dead, warm, or sparking outlets
Why It Matters
An outlet that’s dead, warm to the touch, or sparking is rarely a problem with the outlet itself, it’s usually a loose connection, a failing circuit, or in older homes, wiring that was never rated for what’s being plugged in today. Code requirements have also changed significantly since most homes were built: GFCI protection is now required in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations, and AFCI protection is required in many living spaces, neither of which older outlets typically have. And a new appliance, an EV charger, a hot tub, a chest freezer, a workshop tool, often needs a dedicated circuit rather than sharing an existing one, since overloading a shared circuit is one of the most common causes of nuisance trips and, left long enough, overheating at the outlet or panel.
How Outlet Installation & Repair Works
- 1
Assessment
We check the existing outlet, wiring, and circuit (or plan a new circuit run) to see what’s needed for your specific outlet or appliance.
- 2
Circuit & code review
We confirm GFCI/AFCI requirements for the location and whether a dedicated circuit is needed for the load you’re adding.
- 3
Installation or repair
We install the new outlet or dedicated circuit, or repair and replace the faulty outlet and connection, keeping the work clean and code-compliant.
- 4
Testing
We test the outlet under load and confirm GFCI/AFCI protection is functioning correctly before we leave.
What Affects the Cost
Cost depends on whether it’s a straightforward outlet swap or a new circuit run, how far the outlet is from your panel, whether GFCI/AFCI protection needs to be added, and whether the outlet needs to be a dedicated circuit for a specific appliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can you add an outlet where there isn’t one?
- Yes, we run new wiring and install outlets wherever you need them, including planning the circuit route through finished walls, basements, or exterior siding.
- Do I need GFCI outlets, and where are they required?
- GFCI protection is required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, unfinished basements, and outdoor locations. We install GFCI outlets in these areas and can upgrade existing outlets that don’t have it.
- Why is my outlet warm, sparking, or not working?
- This usually points to a loose connection, a failing outlet, or an overloaded circuit rather than a one-off issue. We trace the fault to its actual source and repair or replace what’s causing it.
- Do I need a dedicated circuit for a new appliance?
- Larger appliances like freezers, microwaves, EV chargers, or workshop tools typically need their own dedicated circuit rather than sharing one with other outlets. We assess your specific appliance and panel capacity to confirm.
- Do you install USB or USB-C outlets?
- Yes, we install combo outlets with built-in USB and USB-C charging ports alongside standard receptacles, wherever you’d like them added.
- How much does outlet installation or repair cost?
- Cost depends on whether it’s a simple swap or a new circuit run, distance from your panel, and whether GFCI/AFCI protection or a dedicated circuit is needed. We provide a clear quote after assessing the job.
