Residential Electrical Services
Residential Electrician Services in Toronto & the GTA
From a single faulty outlet to a whole-home upgrade, Addis Electric provides residential electrical work for houses, townhomes and condos across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.
Home Electrical Work Done Carefully and Explained Clearly
Your home's electrical system does quiet, constant work. It keeps the furnace running on a January night, the fridge cold, the laptop in the home office charged and the lights on when you get home late. Most homeowners only think about it when something stops working or when a renovation is on the horizon, and that's exactly when it helps to have a residential electrician you can call without second-guessing.
Addis Electric provides residential electrical services throughout Toronto and the GTA. We handle repairs, upgrades and new installations for detached homes, semis, townhouses and condo units, and we take the time to explain what we find and what your options are before any work begins.
What Our Residential Electrical Services Cover
Home electrical work spans a wide range of jobs, and many projects touch more than one part of the system. A kitchen update, for example, might involve new circuits for appliances, under-cabinet lighting and additional counter receptacles. We look at the whole picture so every piece works together.
Repairs and Troubleshooting
Dead outlets, breakers that trip without an obvious cause, flickering lights and switches that feel warm are all worth investigating. We trace the problem back to its source instead of simply resetting a breaker and hoping for the best. For more involved faults, see our electrical troubleshooting and repair service.
Upgrades and Modernization
Many homes were wired for a much smaller electrical load than today's households use. Adding central air, an induction range, a basement suite or an EV charger can push an older system past what it was designed for. We assess capacity and recommend practical improvements, including electrical panel upgrades when the existing panel can't keep up.
New Installations
Extra outlets, dedicated circuits, exterior power and smart switches are some of the most common requests we get. Whether you want better light in a dim hallway or a full plan for a renovated main floor, our lighting installation work is shaped around how you actually use each room.
Benefits of Hiring a Residential Electrician
Electrical work isn't the place for guesswork. Bringing in a qualified electrical contractor gives you more than a working light switch.
Safer Results
Properly sized wiring, secure connections and the right protective devices reduce the risk of overheating and shock.
Fewer Repeat Problems
Finding the root cause means you aren't dealing with the same fault again a month later.
Smoother Renovations
Planning electrical work early helps contractors, drywallers and designers stay on schedule.
Room to Grow
Thinking about capacity now makes it easier to add appliances, a heat pump or an EV charger later.
Paperwork Handled
Permits and inspections are arranged where required as a normal part of planning each job.
Clear Communication
You know what's being done, why it matters and what happens next.

Residential Electrical Services for Toronto Homes
Toronto's housing is remarkably varied, and that variety shows up behind the walls. Century homes in neighbourhoods like Cabbagetown, the Annex and Riverdale may still contain sections of older wiring, or may have been updated in pieces over many decades. Post-war bungalows in Etobicoke, Scarborough and North York often have panels that were never meant to carry modern loads. Downtown and midtown condos bring their own considerations, from building management approvals to shared electrical rooms.
Beyond the city, we serve homeowners across the GTA, including Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill and Oakville, where newer subdivisions frequently need basement finishing, added circuits or upgraded lighting. Wherever your home is, we tailor the approach to its age, layout and the way your family lives in it. Learn more about our work as an electrician in Toronto.

Residential Electrical Services FAQs
What kinds of homes do you work on?
We work on detached and semi-detached houses, townhomes and condo units across Toronto and the GTA. Condo work may need building management approval before we begin, and we're happy to coordinate that with you.
How do I know if my home's electrical system needs attention?
Warning signs include breakers that trip often, flickering or dimming lights, warm outlets or switch plates, buzzing sounds, burning smells and outlets that no longer hold a plug firmly. If you notice any of these, have an electrician take a look.
Can you handle the electrical work for a renovation?
Yes. We plan and complete electrical work for kitchens, bathrooms, basements and additions, and we can coordinate with your general contractor or designer. Our electrical renovations page has more detail.
Do you arrange permits and inspections?
Permits and inspections are arranged where required for the scope of work. We'll let you know during the quote whether your project needs them.
Is it safe to replace an outlet or switch myself?
Electrical work carries a real risk of shock and fire, and mistakes aren't always obvious right away. For your safety, we recommend having a qualified electrician handle any work on your home's wiring.
