Electrical for secondary suites, basement apartments and ADUs
Adding a suite takes more than a few outlets. Panels, circuits, meters and alarms have to meet code, and inspectors will check. We plan and install the electrical so the suite is safe and ready for inspection.
What we do:
- Panel or sub-panel for the suite
- Separate meter base where required
- Dedicated circuits for kitchen, bath and laundry
- Interconnected smoke and CO alarm wiring
- Lighting and receptacle layout
- ESA permit and inspection
When this makes sense
- You are legalizing a basement apartment
- You are building a garden suite or accessory dwelling unit
- You are converting a house to a duplex or adding a unit
- A lender, insurer or municipality asked for an electrical inspection
How it works
- Tell us about the job. Use the quote form or call. Photos of the area or your panel help.
- We review and quote. We look at what you sent and, when needed, visit to see the site.
- Permit and scheduling. We arrange the ESA electrical permit and book a date that works for you.
- Install and inspection. We do the work to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code and the ESA inspection follows.
Common questions
- Does a basement suite need its own meter?
It depends on your municipality and utility. We check the requirements early so the plan matches.
- What electrical work does a legal suite need?
Usually its own protected circuits, interconnected smoke and CO alarms, and a panel with enough capacity. Exact requirements are confirmed with your municipality.
- Will it pass inspection?
We build to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code and arrange the ESA inspection. Your municipality handles building inspections separately.
