FAQs
Do I need an electrical permit for my commercial project in Elora?
Yes. Any new installation, major alteration, or addition to a commercial electrical system in Elora requires a permit from the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA). We handle the permitting process on your behalf, including drawing submission, inspection scheduling, and final approval, ensuring that all work meets Ontario Electrical Safety Code standards.
How long does a typical commercial electrical project take to complete?
Timelines vary according to project size and complexity, but most small‐ to mid-scale commercial fit-outs in Elora take 2–6 weeks from rough-in to final inspection. A new-build may span 3–6 months. We provide a detailed Gantt chart at the planning stage that outlines milestones, material lead times, and inspection dates so you always know the schedule.
Can you help improve the energy efficiency of my commercial facility?
Absolutely. We offer energy-efficiency audits that identify lighting, HVAC, and process-equipment savings. Popular upgrades include LED lighting with smart controls, high-efficiency transformers, and power-factor correction. Many clients in Elora qualify for Save on Energy incentives, and we prepare all rebate paperwork to minimize your upfront cost.
What safety and code standards do you follow?
Our electricians are licensed 309A/309C in Ontario and trained in the latest Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC), CSA standards, and NFPA 70E arc-flash procedures. We conduct Job Hazard Assessments (JHAs) on every site, maintain WSIB coverage, and carry $5 million in liability insurance. All work is inspected by the ESA before being energized.
Do you install EV charging stations for commercial properties?
Yes. We design and install Level 2 and Level 3 (DC fast) charging stations, perform load calculations, upgrade service panels if needed, and integrate networked billing software for fleet or public use. We also assist with grant applications through the federal Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP) and Hydro One incentives specific to the Elora region.
What kind of ongoing maintenance and support do you provide after the project?
We offer customizable maintenance contracts that include annual infrared thermography, breaker torque checks, emergency lighting tests, and 24/7 on-call service. A digital logbook is shared with you to track inspections, repairs, and warranty status, ensuring long-term reliability and compliance with insurance and ESA requirements.
