Home Buying, Selling & Renovating
Buying, selling or renovating a home can be stressful and a big investment. While it can be tempting to cut corners, when it comes to electrical work, there can be serious consequences if you don’t comply with the requirements of the Ontario Electrical Safety Code – including issues with insurance and resale, and most importantly safety.
Learn how to avoid costly or even deadly mistakes. And only hire a Licenced Electrical Contractor to do electrical installation, upgrades or repairs.
