Mr. Electric will go assess the renovation needs, provide the customer with a quote for the work required and when the customer approves the work, an E.S.A. permit will be obtained and work may commence.

Why does Mr. Electric obtain a permit for their work?

As an electrical contractor licensed with the E.S.A., Mr. Electric abides by the Codes and Standards set forth by the E.S.A.

Electrical installation, repair and replacement work needs to be done in compliance with the Ontario Electrical Safety Code. The Code specifies how electrical work must be done. The Code is updated every three years to address emerging technology and improvements in safety practices.

According the E.S.A. Codes & Standards, framework for all walls must be constructed and in place for any electrical wiring to be installed.

Who does the inspection of the work completed?

ESA's expert Inspectors will review the electrical work, sometimes at multiple stages if it's complicated.

Once the inspection is completed, a final ESA Certificate of Inspection is issued and forwarded to the customer (usually the next business day).

Can anyone do electrical renovation work/ repairs?
