Services and typical prices

What we do, and what it usually costs.

Ranges are for east-end houses in 2026, before HST, with the ESA permit included. After a site visit you get a fixed price in writing, so the number on the quote is the number on the invoice.

  • Panel upgrade, 100 to 200 amps

    A new panel and meter base so the house can take a heat pump, an EV or a basement suite. We book the Toronto Hydro disconnect; most homes are without power for six to eight hours.

    On site
    1 day
    Typical price
    $4,500–$7,000
    Paperwork
    ESA permit, Toronto Hydro
  • EV charger

    A Level 2 charger on the garage or driveway wall, wired from your panel. On 100-amp service, a load-management device often saves you the full upgrade.

    On site
    Half a day to 1 day
    Typical price
    $1,400–$2,600 + charger
    Paperwork
    ESA permit
  • Pot lights and lighting

    Slim LED pot lights on dimmers, pendants and under-cabinet strips. Openings stay small and are left clean and ready for patching.

    1 day for 8–12 lights
    Typical price
    $160–$220 a light
    Paperwork
    ESA permit
  • Knob-and-tube replacement

    Room-by-room replacement of the original wiring in pre-1950 houses, with arc-fault protection on bedrooms and the letter your insurer asks for.

    3–6 days
    Typical price
    $11,000–$24,000 for a semi
    Paperwork
    ESA permit, insurer letter
  • Renovation wiring

    Kitchens, bathrooms and basements: new circuits, GFCI protection, smoke and CO alarms. We plan it with your contractor before the walls close.

    On site
    Rough-in, then finish
    Typical price
    Quoted from your drawings
    Paperwork
    ESA permit, two inspections
  • Troubleshooting and repairs

    A dead circuit, a breaker that keeps tripping, an outlet that feels warm. We find the cause and fix it on the same visit when we can.

    On site
    Usually under 2 hours
    Typical price
    $145 for the first hour
    Paperwork
    Permit if wiring changes
