Electrical Services for Property Managers in Toronto

Yes. Portman Electric works with property managers, condo corporations, landlords and building operators across Toronto — from single work orders to recurring service across a portfolio. We fit into your process: purchase-order references on invoices, photos of completed work, and documentation your file requires. You deal directly with a licensed Master Electrician, not a call centre.

Yes. Once you authorize it, we schedule directly with the superintendent, concierge or tenant, confirm access requirements, and keep you updated so you're not relaying messages back and forth. If a tenant misses an appointment or access falls through, we tell you right away rather than billing silent return trips.

Yes. We service individual suites as well as common elements — hallways, garages, electrical rooms, amenity spaces and exteriors. We're used to condominium requirements: certificate-of-insurance requests, service-elevator bookings, work-hour rules and board-approved projects, and we plan the work around them.

Yes. Purpose-built rentals are a core part of our work: occupied-suite repairs, turnover units, common-area maintenance, electric heating, laundry rooms and older distribution equipment, including fuse panels. We help owners separate what needs repair now from what belongs in a longer-term upgrade plan.

Both. Many managers start with a single work order — a tripping breaker, a dead outlet, a lighting problem — and continue with us for recurring requests across their properties. There's no volume requirement; the same documentation and workmanship apply either way.

In Ontario, electrical work offered as a service must be done by a Licensed Electrical Contractor registered with the Electrical Safety Authority. The do-it-yourself provision applies only to someone working in a home they own and live in — it does not extend to tenanted units, common areas or commercial space. Hiring an LEC also matters for insurance and liability. You can verify any contractor's licence with ESA; ours is #7018049.

Yes. When work requires it, we file the ESA notification, coordinate the inspection and provide the documentation for your records. Not every small repair needs a permit — we tell you when one applies, and permitted work isn't closed out until it passes.

Yes — turnovers are one of the most common requests we get. We schedule between tenancies, work through the reported list, correct what we find (damaged devices, open boxes, dead circuits, missing plates), and flag anything that needs a larger scope with pricing before we proceed, so the unit is ready for the move-in date.

The property address, exact unit or affected area, a description of the issue, who provides access (super, concierge, tenant or lockbox), an on-site contact, how urgent it is, photos if available, and a PO number if your process uses one. Exact unit and access details matter most — they prevent wasted trips and get the problem diagnosed on the first visit.

Yes. Portman Electric is available 24/7 for urgent electrical problems, and calling is faster than the form for anything active. In our primary Toronto service area we typically aim to be onsite within approximately 1.5–2 hours, though building access, the nature of the request and current call volume all affect it – treat it as a target rather than a guarantee. For active smoke or fire, call 911 first.

Yes, with planning. Occupied-suite work needs confirmed access, a responsible adult or authorized building representative, and notice to the tenant where required. We protect floors and finished surfaces, communicate respectfully, and remove electrical debris when we're done. We don't provide tenancy-law advice — access rules are yours to confirm.

Yes. We do visual assessments of accessible electrical equipment, targeted troubleshooting and thermal imaging where appropriate, with written findings, photos and prioritized recommendations. Age alone doesn't condemn equipment — condition, support and performance do. An assessment is not an ESA inspection or an engineering study; we're clear about which one your situation actually needs.

Yes. Multi-unit EV charging starts with an electrical-capacity assessment, then load management, metering and routing decisions — often with board approval and sometimes utility coordination. We install and ESA-permit the charging equipment and plan so the building isn't boxed in when the next resident asks for a charger.

Yes. As an Airbnb electrician in Toronto, we help short-term rental operators handle guest-reported issues, tripping breakers, GFCI problems, alarms and heating — usually scheduled between bookings. Send clear access instructions and photos before the appointment; lockbox or manager access works when properly authorized.
