Electrical Services in Ottawa, ON
Ottawa, ON electricians serve century-old Glebe and Westboro homes, new tract builds in Barrhaven and Kanata, and tech-corridor families adding EV chargers. Common jobs: 200A panel upgrades, knob-and-tube removal in Centretown, EV charging on Hydro Ottawa service, and generator interlocks for ice-storm outages. Brands stocked: Square D, Eaton, Siemens, Generac, FLO and ChargePoint EV gear.
Hydro Ottawa is the local distributor (Ontario IESO market). Ontario requires an ESA-licensed Master Electrician. ESA inspects all permitted work. Time-of-Use and Ultra-Low Overnight rates favor managed EV charging — many homeowners pair a Level 2 charger with the ULO rate.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need an ESA permit?
- Yes — every electrical job in Ontario requires an ESA Notification of Work, filed by your licensed contractor. ESA inspection is mandatory.
- Ultra-Low Overnight rate — worth switching?
- If you can charge an EV between 11pm–7am, ULO is dramatically cheaper than TOU off-peak. Best for EV owners and those who can shift laundry/dishwasher to overnight.
- Knob-and-tube in Glebe/Centretown — insurer issues?
- Most Ontario insurers won't issue a new policy with active K&T. Existing policies sometimes get a 1–2 year remediation deadline. Full rewire on a 2-storey home: $15,000–$30,000 CAD.
- EV charger — does Hydro Ottawa offer rebates?
- Federal and Ontario incentive programs change frequently; check NRCan ZEV programs and Hydro Ottawa current offerings.
