Your Guide to Electrician Services, Toronto, ON

Keeping your property powered—and protected—takes more than quick fixes. It takes licensed professionals who understand local codes, safety standards, and the realities of living and doing business in the GTA.

If you manage a condo, own a home, design interiors, or you’re a new homeowner planning upgrades (hello, EV charging), this guide brings together the most requested electrical services Toronto property teams rely on—and how Langstaff & Sloan approaches each with precision and care.

Why Choose a Licensed Electrician in the GTA

Electrical work isn’t a DIY arena. Beyond the obvious safety risks, improper work can void insurance, fail inspections, and cause costly downtime. Our team has served the GTA for decades with a safety-first mindset, itemized written quotations, and proactive communication. We coordinate with inspectors, utilities, and other trades so your project moves smoothly from plan to sign-off.

Who we serve (and how we help):

  • Property & condo managers: Prevent outages, protect residents, meet compliance deadlines.
  • Homeowners & new buyers: Modernize panels and wiring, add circuits, prepare for renos and EVs.
  • Interior designers & architects: Lighting layouts, load calculations, permits, and clean execution.
  • Business owners & tenants: Minimize downtime, plan build-outs, and maintain safe operations.

Residential Expertise: From Old Wiring to Modern Living

If you’re searching for a residential electrician in Toronto, you’re weighing safety, timelines, and budget. Our residential electrical services start with a clear assessment, transparent pricing, and tidy workmanship (patch-ready access holes on rewires).

Knob-and-tube replacement

Old wiring can’t handle today’s loads. We replace it end-to-end, coordinate inspections, and prep access points for finishing—plus plan circuits for any new lighting or receptacles.

Aluminum wiring: rewire or pigtail

Aluminum branch circuits can loosen and overheat. We inspect, recommend full replacement or ESA-approved pigtailing, and document work for insurers.

Service panel & capacity upgrades

Adding a heat pump, induction range, hot tub, or EV charger? We size and install new panels/subpanels, balance loads, and update labeling and protection.
Electrical Panel Upgrade In Toronto

Appliance & dedicated circuits

From suites to chef kitchens, correct breaker sizing matters. Our residential wiring service keeps laundry, offices, and media rooms running safely.
Why a Professional Should Be the Only One to Upgrade Your Electric Panel

Need residential electrician services for renos or resale? We’ll prioritize fixes, schedule efficiently, and keep you informed at every step.

Commercial & Multi-Residential: Built for Uptime

For managers seeking commercial electricians in Toronto, uptime is non-negotiable. Our team supports retail, office, hospitality, warehouses, and multi-residential buildings with planned maintenance, emergency response, and capital upgrades.

Lighting: new, retrofit, and specialty

Energy-efficient lighting reduces operating costs and improves safety and tenant satisfaction. We design photometrically sound layouts, retrofit legacy fixtures, and integrate controls for occupancy, daylighting, and schedules—ideal for lobbies, corridors, parkades, and retail displays.

Power distribution & safety devices

  • Panel upgrades and capacity expansions
  • Circuit breaker repair/replacement
  • Subpanels for tenant split-ups and expansions
  • Disconnect switches at critical equipment for safe lockout/tagout
  • Splitter boxes for high-load operations
  • Standby generators to keep life-safety systems and critical operations running

Leasehold improvements & build-outs

Coordinating with GCs and trades is where seasoned commercial electrical contractors in Toronto shine. We review drawings, verify loads, pull permits, rough-in cleanly, and hit inspections on schedule—so turnover dates are met without last-minute surprises.

Wiring modernization

Legacy systems can bottleneck your growth. We plan and execute commercial electrical wiring Toronto projects that bring spaces up to code and prepare them for future capacity, specialized equipment, and evolving tenant needs.
Need structured, preventative care? Our commercial electrical services include routine inspections, thermal scanning, tightening and torque checks, emergency repairs, and lifecycle planning for capital budgets.

EV Charger Installations: Single Homes to Shared Garages

If you’ve just purchased an EV—or you manage a condo looking to add resident charging—proper planning is crucial. We assess service size, panel capacity, cable routes, and ventilation/clearance requirements. For multi-residential properties, we help boards and managers select the right infrastructure (load-managed or metered), ensure bylaw alignment, and plan phased rollouts that scale with adoption.

Safety, Compliance, and Documentation You Can Trust

Electrical work lives or dies by the details. We follow Canadian Electrical Code requirements, coordinate with local inspectors, and provide itemized, written quotes. After completion, you’ll have documentation to satisfy lenders, insurers, and resale requirements—key for both homeowners and property managers.

What to expect from our process:

  • Discovery & load review: Your goals, constraints, and timelines.
  • On-site assessment: Identify risks, validate panel capacity, evaluate routing.
  • Itemized proposal: Clear scope, materials, timelines, and unit pricing where applicable.
  • Permits & coordination: We handle applications and liaise with the ESA and utilities.
  • Execution & housekeeping: Professional install, labeled panels, tidy site.
  • Testing & sign-off: Verification, documentation, and walkthrough.

Signs You Should Call a Pro—Sooner Rather Than Later

  • Overheating breakers or frequent trips
  • Flickering or dimming lights when the equipment starts
  • Warm or discoloured receptacles/switches
  • Ungrounded or two-prong outlets in older homes
  • Aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring is present
  • Renovations adding major loads (HVAC, ranges, EVs)
  • Insurance or lender requiring ESA documentation

Prompt attention prevents damage, downtime, and costly rework—especially in common areas and commercial settings where interruptions cascade quickly.

How We Partner with Designers, Architects, and GCs

Great spaces don’t just look good—they perform. We collaborate early to translate design intent into buildable, code-compliant solutions: circuiting that avoids nuisance trips, fixture selection that meets photometric targets, and routing that respects ceiling details and millwork. Need value-engineering? We’ll protect the visual result while optimizing long-term maintenance and energy costs.

When to Call Residential vs. Commercial

If your project involves a single-family home, townhouse, or condo unit, you’re in the lane of residential electrician services—repairs, upgrades, new circuits, and EV charging. For buildings, tenant spaces, or common areas, you’ll need commercial electrician services from a team experienced with permits, life-safety systems, and coordination at scale.
