Your Local Electrician in Toronto
Looking for a reliable electrician in Toronto? Addis Electric is a Toronto-based electrical contractor serving homeowners, landlords, property managers and business owners throughout the city. Whether you need a quick repair, a safer panel, brighter lighting or complete wiring for a renovation, we plan the work carefully, keep you informed and leave your property clean when we are done.
Toronto's buildings are as varied as its neighbourhoods. On a single street you might find a century-old semi with its original wiring, a detached home that has been renovated several times over the decades and a new laneway suite in the backyard. Across the city there are high-rise condos, low-rise apartments, main-street shops and office floors. Each type of property comes with its own electrical challenges, and our electrical services in Toronto are built around understanding those differences before we pick up a tool.
Electrical Work in Toronto's Homes and Buildings
Much of the city's housing was built long before today's electrical loads were imagined. Here is what we commonly see across Toronto properties, described in general terms.
Older Homes With Outdated Wiring and Fuse Panels
Many older Toronto houses still have fuse boxes, small panels or wiring that was installed generations ago, sometimes including knob-and-tube or early wiring methods that were never meant for modern appliances. Signs that a system is struggling include frequently blown fuses or tripped breakers, warm outlets, flickering lights and a shortage of grounded receptacles. Updating the panel and replacing aging wiring can make a home safer and more practical, and is often a step insurers or buyers ask about.
Semi-Detached and Detached Houses
Semis and detached homes often go through many rounds of renovation, and wiring from different eras can end up mixed together. We trace circuits, correct problem connections and plan new circuits so that kitchens, bathrooms, home offices and laundry rooms each have the capacity they need.
Condos and Townhomes
Condo electrical work usually happens within the limits set by the building, so we coordinate with property management where required and keep work tidy in shared spaces. Typical condo projects include lighting upgrades, new fixtures, additional outlets and troubleshooting in suites.
Basement Renovations and Secondary Suites
Finishing a basement or creating a secondary suite is one of the most common renovation projects in Toronto. These spaces need thoughtful lighting, enough receptacles, properly protected circuits and sometimes a separate panel. Planning the electrical work early helps the rest of the renovation go smoothly.
Retail and Office Spaces
From storefronts on neighbourhood main streets to office suites in larger buildings, commercial spaces need electrical systems that support lighting, equipment and customers without interruption. We work with owners and tenants to plan work around business hours wherever possible.
Residential Electrician in Toronto
As a residential electrician in Toronto, we help homeowners keep their electrical systems safe, reliable and ready for the way they live. That might mean replacing a worn-out panel, adding a circuit for a new appliance, installing new lighting or wiring an entire renovation.
We explain what we find in plain language, give you practical options and respect your home while we work. Learn more about our residential electrical services.
Commercial Electrician in Toronto
Businesses need a commercial electrician in Toronto who understands that downtime costs money. We provide electrical work for offices, retail units, restaurants and other commercial properties, including lighting upgrades, tenant improvements, dedicated circuits for equipment, repairs and inspections.
We schedule around your operations where we can and keep work areas safe for staff and customers. See our commercial electrical services.

Signs It Is Time to Call an Electrician
Electrical problems rarely fix themselves, and small warning signs can point to bigger issues behind the walls. Contact a qualified electrician if you notice any of the following in your home or business:
- Breakers that trip or fuses that blow repeatedly
- Lights that flicker or dim when appliances turn on
- Outlets or switch plates that feel warm, spark or buzz
- A burning smell with no obvious source
- Two-prong outlets throughout the house, or not enough outlets where you need them
- Extension cords and power bars used as permanent solutions
- Plans to add an EV charger, heat pump, hot tub or major appliance
If you ever smell burning or see scorch marks, turn off power to the affected circuit if it is safe to do so and have the problem checked promptly. For everything else, our electrical services in Toronto can help you understand what is going on and what to do next.
