ELECTRICAL SERVICES: COMMON QUESTIONS

What electrical services does Portman Electric provide in Toronto?

Electrical panel replacement and 100A to 200A service upgrades, fuse box replacement, EV charger installation, knob and tube rewiring, electrical troubleshooting, renovation and rough-in wiring, pot lights and lighting, pool, hot tub and spa electrical, generators and transfer switches, electric heating including heated floors and snow melting, underground trenching and conduit, and commercial and property management electrical work.

Is Portman Electric licensed to do electrical work in Ontario?

Yes. Portman Electric operates as an ECRA/ESA Licensed Electrical Contractor, Licence #7018049. Electrical contracting in Ontario must be carried out by a contractor licensed by the Electrical Safety Authority, and the licence number can be verified through the ESA.

Does Portman Electric take care of ESA permits and inspections?

Yes. Where the work requires it, Portman Electric files the ESA notification and arranges the inspection. Not every job needs one, and you will be told which applies to your job before work starts.

Does Portman Electric work for property managers and commercial buildings?

Yes. Alongside residential work, Portman Electric serves condominium and rental property managers and commercial tenants and owners. Past commercial work includes replacing deteriorated fuse equipment and correcting feeder protection for a tenant in a century-old building, and repairing an embedded conduit that had been drilled through during concrete restoration in a parking garage.

Can Portman Electric come out for an electrical emergency?

Yes. Portman Electric provides 24/7 emergency electrical service in Toronto. Typical response within our primary Toronto service area is approximately 1.5–2 hours, depending on location and availability. Response times are a target, not a guarantee. If there is fire, smoke or immediate danger, call 911 first.

How do I find out what a job will cost?

Send photos of the work area with a description for a free remote ballpark estimate, or call 647-835-7757. Cost depends on what the work actually involves — the condition of the existing wiring, access, the size of the service and whether an ESA permit and inspection apply — so some jobs cannot be priced responsibly from photographs alone.
