Electrical Renovations & Retrofits

Kitchens, basements, additions, and heritage homes. Wiring that respects both the plan and the building.

Electrical Renovations & Retrofits

Renovation electrical is planning work as much as wiring work. New kitchens need dedicated appliance circuits, finished basements need capacity the original builder never allowed for, and heritage homes need modern safety threaded through original plaster and framing without wrecking what makes the home worth keeping. This shop has been retrofitting the century homes of Halton Hills for decades, and it shows in how little drywall we open.

Bigger renovations often uncover the limits of the existing electrical service. If the plan adds real load, we will tell you early whether a panel change or service upgrade belongs in the budget, because finding out at final inspection is the expensive way. New wiring, alterations, and full rewires are all residential services we handle with our own crew, not subcontractors.

What's included

  • Kitchen and bathroom renovation wiring with dedicated circuits and GFCI protection
  • Basement finishing, including sub-panels where the load calls for one
  • Additions and secondary suites tied cleanly into the existing service
  • Heritage home retrofits with minimal-damage wire fishing
  • New wiring and alterations for layout changes
  • Lighting design and installation, indoors and landscape
  • ESA permits and both rough-in and final inspections coordinated

Electrical Renovations & Retrofits is available across Georgetown, Acton, Milton, and the rest of our service area.

Renovations & Retrofits questions

Asked before every job like this one.

Do you work with our general contractor?
Yes, most renovation work is coordinated directly with the GC or designer. We show up when the schedule needs us at rough-in and again at finish, and we keep the inspections on track in between.
What is different about wiring a heritage home?
Access and respect. Original plaster, trim, and framing cannot be treated like a modern gut job, so circuits are fished through existing cavities with small, deliberate openings. It takes longer than tearing walls open, and it is worth it.
Will my renovation need a panel upgrade?
It depends what you are adding. A load calculation early in the design tells us whether the existing panel and service can carry the new circuits. If an upgrade is needed, knowing before drywall saves real money.
Do you handle the ESA permits for renovations?
Yes. Renovation wiring gets a rough-in inspection before the walls close and a final at the end, both pulled and coordinated under our ECRA licence.
