Electricians in Toronto
Panel upgrades, knob-and-tube remediation, EV chargers, and condo rule compliance keep Toronto-area electricians in steady demand—especially when knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring shows up in inspections. Many listings show visit or dispatch fees roughly around $80–$100 for standard calls, with hourly labour commonly near $95–$130 before after-hours premiums—confirm on each profile.
Pricing ranges are general GTA observations only. Individual providers set their own rates, availability, and service terms.

Frequently asked questions about electricians in Toronto
Last updated: August 4, 2026
- Does Servivo verify ESA licences?
- Listings show self-reported credentials. Ask for licence numbers and check the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) public lookup where appropriate—especially for panel changes and new circuits.
- Can someone troubleshoot “half my lights are out” today?
- Maybe—depends on triage load. Message with breaker behaviour, affected rooms, and whether anything smells hot; pros can prioritize if it sounds like a lost neutral (urgent).
- What about knob-and-tube?
- Remediation scope varies widely. Expect site visits and written quotes; not every electrician takes full rewires.
- Do you support EV charger installs?
- Many Toronto-area electricians advertise charger work—confirm panel capacity, permit path, and charger brand in your first message.
- How much does an electrician cost in Toronto?
- Many listings show visit or dispatch fees roughly around $80–$100 for standard calls, with hourly labour commonly near $95–$130 before after-hours premiums. Panel upgrades and EV installs are quoted separately after site review.
- Do I need a permit for electrical work in Ontario?
- Most new circuits, panel changes, and many alterations require notification to the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA). Ask whether the electrician handles filing and whether inspection is included in the quote.
- Is partial power loss an emergency?
- It can be—especially if only some circuits work, outlets feel warm, or you smell burning. Shut off affected breakers if safe and message pros immediately with symptoms.
- Can electricians work in Toronto condos?
- Many do, but corporations often require insurance certificates, booking elevators, and approved hours. Share building rules and whether work is in common elements or your unit.
- How do I prepare for a panel upgrade quote?
- Note your current panel amperage, main utility arrangement, and any aluminum wiring or knob-and-tube reports. Photos of the panel and utility meter help pros estimate scope before a visit.
- How do I compare electricians on Servivo?
- Filter by tags like EV charger, panel upgrade, or diagnostics. Message two or three pros about ESA filing, visit fees, and earliest availability before scheduling.
