4-Step Verification Process

Electrical across Canada

Verified, licensed electricians for any electrical job in Canada

Hiring a electrician shouldn't feel like a gamble. On TaskRight, every electrician is a registered business with its licence verified before it can appear — so the person you let into your home has already earned it.

Tell us the job once. Our AI matches you with the right verified electricians for your project, they send you real quotes, and you choose. Always free, and always zero commission — so your quotes stay fair.

Electrical in Canada, explained

Why electrical work is worth hiring a verified pro for

Good electrical work is the difference between a job done once and a job done twice. A verified electrician brings the licensing and the experience to do it right, to code, and with a warranty that means something.

That's the whole point of TaskRight: you compare real quotes from more than one verified electrician — never a single number you can't check, and never a lead sold to five companies at once.

What we cover

Electrical services we cover in Canada

From a small job to a full project, there's a verified specialist for it. Tap your job to get matched with the right electricians.

Panel Upgrades

100A-to-200A service upgrades for modern loads, EV chargers and additions — permitted and ESA-inspected.

EV Charger Installation

Level 2 home charger installation on a dedicated circuit — often rebate-eligible.

Wiring & Rewiring

Knob-and-tube and aluminum wiring replacement that home policies (and safety) demand.

Pot Lights & Lighting

Recessed lighting, fixtures and dimmers installed cleanly.

Fault Finding

Tripping breakers, dead outlets and flickering lights traced to the real cause.

Panels for Renos

New circuits and sub-panels for basement, kitchen and garage renovations.

Know your options

Types of electrical work — and who you need for each

Knowing what kind of job you have helps you hire the right electrician — and spot anyone selling you more than you need.

Repairs & faults

Dead outlets, tripping breakers, flickering lights — usually quick, but needs proper diagnosis.

Installations

Fixtures, pot lights, EV chargers, new circuits — clean work on a dedicated circuit.

Service & rewiring

Panel upgrades and whole-home rewiring — permitted, ESA-inspected work.

What affects the price

What affects the cost of an electrician in Canada

We don't quote a flat price, because no two electrical jobs are the same. Here's what actually moves the number — so you can read a quote like a pro.

The job itself

Swapping a switch is minutes; a panel upgrade or rewire is a permitted day (or more) of skilled work.

Permits and inspection

Notifiable work needs an ESA permit and inspection — a sign it's being done right.

Access

Fishing wire through finished walls costs more than an open basement or new build.

Materials

Panel, breakers, wire and an EV charger unit all factor in.

Age of wiring

Knob-and-tube or aluminum found mid-job adds scope, for safety and at renewal.

A service call runs $100–$200, a 200A panel upgrade $2,000–$4,000, and a Level 2 EV charger install $800–$2,000 before rebates. Compare real quotes. This is exactly why TaskRight has you compare real quotes from more than one verified electrician instead of trusting a single number.

Electrical in Canada

Finding a electrician you can actually trust shouldn't be this hard

If you've tried to hire a electrician in Canada, you know how this goes.

⚡

Half the house loses power

You don't know if it's the panel, a circuit or an appliance — and a bad connection in the wall is a fire risk.

🚫

The policy won't renew

They found knob-and-tube or aluminum and want it fixed by a licensed electrician — with ESA sign-off.

💰

Cash job, no inspection

A cheap under-the-table job that never gets inspected — and becomes your liability if it fails.

The TaskRight Way

How TaskRight fixes it

Every electrician on TaskRight is a verified RightPro. Our AI matches you to the right one for your actual job — not whoever paid the most.

Every pro is licensed & verified

Business registration and licensing where required — both verified before a electrician can appear.

You compare real quotes

Tell us the job once and get quotes from more than one verified pro. No single take-it-or-leave-it number.

Zero commission, no shared leads

Providers pay one flat subscription and keep 100% of the job. Your lead is never sold to five companies, so your quotes stay fair.

No surprises

What to expect when a electrician quotes your job

A real pro follows a process. Here's what a proper job looks like — so you know good work when you see it.

  1. 1Diagnosis first. A good electrician understands the job — what you need and why — before naming a price, not after.
  2. 2A clear, written quote. You get an itemized quote you can actually compare, not a vague number scribbled on the spot.
  3. 3You choose. Review credentials, ratings and real reviews, then pick the pro you trust. No pressure, no middleman.
  4. 4Done right, with a warranty. Verified pros stand behind their work — and their rating on TaskRight depends on it.

Signs it's time to call a electrician

If any of these sound familiar, get a verified pro to take a look before it gets worse.

  • Breakers trip again and again for no clear reason
  • Outlets or switches feel warm, spark, or are discoloured
  • Your home still has knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring
  • You're adding an EV charger, hot tub or basement suite
  • Lights dim when big appliances kick on

Keep it running

Getting the most from your electrical project

A few smart habits protect your investment — and tell you when it's time to call a verified pro.

Get more than one quote

Comparing verified quotes is the single best way to know you're paying a fair price — and TaskRight makes it one step.

Insist on it in writing

A clear written scope and quote is your protection against surprise “extras” later.

Check the licence and the workers’ compensation coverage

We verify trade licence and credentials before a pro can appear. Our checks stop there — so ask for a WSIB clearance certificate before work starts.

Don't chase the cheapest number

The lowest bid often skips the prep and the permits. The right quote is fair, not just low.

Before you hire

How to choose a reliable electrician in Canada

A few checks separate a trustworthy electrician from a risky bargain. We verify trade licence and credentials — the rest are yours. Start with the WSIB clearance certificate: if a contractor owes the WSIB money, the person who hired them can be liable for the unpaid premiums, up to the labour portion of the contract.

  • Confirm they're licensed where the work requires it, and ask for a WSIB clearance certificate — not just “experienced.”
  • Ask for a written, itemized quote you can compare — not a single round number.
  • Check real reviews and ratings, not just a logo on a van.
  • Make sure there's a workmanship warranty in writing.
  • Never pay large sums up front — a reasonable deposit, with the rest tied to the work.

Plain-English glossary

Electrical terms, explained simply

The words the pros use, in plain English — so you can ask the right questions and spot a real one.

Panel / service (100A, 200A)

The main box that splits power through your home. 200A is standard for modern loads and EV charging.

ESA

Ontario's Electrical Safety Authority — the body that permits and inspects electrical work.

Knob-and-tube

Early-1900s wiring many Canadian home policies now refuse. Replacing it is a common, worthwhile upgrade.

Dedicated circuit

A circuit serving one appliance (EV charger, range) so it doesn't overload shared wiring.

Usually $800–$2,000 depending on panel capacity and distance from the panel — with rebates available in some provinces.
Yes — licensing (ECRA/ESA in Ontario) and business registration are verified before an electrician appears. Our checks stop there — so ask for a WSIB clearance certificate before work starts.
