Our process

1. Assessment & plan
   We walk the space, review goals, and perform load and safety checks. You’ll see options (good/better/best) with pricing.
   

2. Transparent quote
   Line-item detail—panels, circuits, devices, labour, permits—so you know exactly what you’re approving.
   

3. Install & inspection
   We protect floors, label circuits, keep wiring neat, and schedule ESA inspections. Most residential upgrades complete in 1–3 days; larger projects are phased to reduce downtime.
   

4. Handover & support
   You’ll get a labelled panel, basic training (how to reset breakers, test GFCI/AFCI, use smart controls), and a service contact for anything you need later.
   
   

Safety, code, and future-proofing

Electrical work is about prevention. We size panels to match future appliances and EVs, separate high-draw loads, and follow bonding/grounding rules to the letter. In basements, we plan for moisture, ceiling height, and egress routes. In shops and restaurants, we match circuits to equipment specs and ventilation needs. The result: stable power today and fewer headaches tomorrow.
