Residential Service Offerings
-
Remodels and Renovations
Most major remodels and renovation projects – including kitchen, bathroom and basement – require an electrical repair or upgrade. Our electricians have experience in remodelling and renovations and have mastered techniques like snaking wires through finished walls and determining capacity of existing circuits to complete your project safely and effectively.

Standby Generators
A standby generator is a backup electrical system that operates automatically. For some, being inconvenienced by even a single blackout warrants getting a generator but if you live in an area with frequent or lengthy blackouts and property damage and human health issues are very real risks, a standby generator may be a necessity.

Smart Home Automation
A smart home is a relatively new concept that continues to capture lots of attention but what exactly does it mean? It’s a home that’s equipped with lighting, heating and electronic devices and/or appliances that can be monitored and managed from anywhere in the world with an internet connection using apps on a mobile or other networked device, such as a smartphone, tablet or laptop.

Faulty and Old Wiring
If your home was built between the early 1900s and 1940s, it may have knob and tube wiring that may need to be replaced. Some houses built in the 1960s and early 1970s have aluminum wiring instead of the standard copper wire, which is a safety hazard because wiring connections may loosen up over time. Tiny gaps between the wiring and connectors may lead to overheating and possibly fires, especially when appliances and lighting fixtures are plugged into them. We can inspect your home’s wiring to determine if it should be replaced and complete the rewiring if required.
-
Panel and Service Upgrades
If your home was built before 1960 and still relies on an old-fashioned panel with fuses that burn out and need to be replaced, you likely want to upgrade to an electrical panel with circuit breakers, which can easily be reset with the flip of a switch. Even homes that are 20 years old may benefit from an upgrade to better accommodate today’s electricity needs, which may include high-definition televisions, computers, smart refrigerators and other appliances.
-

F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my electrical panel needs upgrading?
If your panel is warm to the touch, smells or trips often, it likely requires upgrading. Other warning signs: your lights dim or flicker frequently, you need additional wall outlets and use a lot of power strips or you’re planning a major appliance upgrade or an addition to your home.
Can I hire any electrician to perform electrical work at my home?
The short answer is ‘No.’ All electrical contractors must have a provincial electrical contractor licence to perform electrical work for clients. This is in accordance with Ontario government legislation and is enforced by Ontario’s Electrical Safety Authority. All licensed electrical contractors should be able to reference their licence number and it’s your right to ask for it. The legislation helps ensure your safety by ensuring the contractor you hire is qualified, competent and insured.
HOW TO HIRE A LICENSED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR
Once you’ve made the decision to have electrical work done, it’s time to hire the right person for the job and that’s not a general contractor or freelance electrician but a Licensed Electrical Contractor – the only business legally authorized to do electrical work in your home in Ontario (with exceptions that include HVAC installers).
Safe and Sound Connections is a Licensed Electrical Contractor and a member of the Electrical Safety Authority. ESA is Ontario’s electrical safety regulator and is committed to protecting consumers from the serious risks associated with faulty electrical work.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR PROPERTY
Did you know electricians are not permitted to perform work for hire unless they are employed by a Licensed Electrical Contractor? Electrical services performed by a Licensed Electrical Contractor ensure the work complies with the Ontario Electrical Safety Code.
