When Your Home Needs a Licensed Electrician, Not a Handyman.

You probably found this page because…
Residential calls follow patterns. Below are the six we hear most often from homeowners across Orangeville, Erin, Caledon and surrounding towns. If yours sounds like one of these, the next step is the same: a free on-site visit and a written quote.
-
A breaker keeps tripping every time the kettle, microwave or AC kicks on.
Usually a circuit that’s carrying more load than it was wired for — sometimes a degraded breaker. We diagnose properly before we replace anything.
-
You smell something burning at an outlet, or there’s a brown mark on the faceplate.
Treat this as urgent. Stop using the circuit and call — we’ll diagnose, isolate the fault, and bring the wiring back to current ESA standards.
-
You bought an EV and the dealer said you need a 240V charger installed.
We size the run, add the dedicated circuit, install the charger and coordinate the ESA inspection — under one quote, one accountable name.
-
Your panel is the original 60-amp fuse box and the insurance broker is asking questions.
Panel upgrades to 100A or 200A are one of our most common residential jobs — handled with a permit, ESA inspection, and proper utility coordination.
-
A home inspector flagged knob-and-tube and the deal hinges on a quote.
We do same-week walkthroughs for buyers and sellers, with an itemised replacement quote you can take to the negotiation table.
-
Lights flicker after a basement or kitchen reno you thought was finished.
We trace shared neutrals, undersized runs, missing GFCI/AFCI protection and other rough-in mistakes — and bring the work back to code.
How a residential job actually runs.
Same workflow on a single GFCI swap as on a full 200A panel upgrade. The visible parts change; the licensing, paperwork and accountability do not.
-
Phone or web intake
Describe what’s happening at home. We confirm whether it’s diagnostic, planned work, or urgent — and book the on-site visit. Bilingual EN/FR.
-
On-site assessment
A licensed electrician walks the property, photographs panel and rough-ins where relevant, and asks the household questions a phone call can’t cover.
-
Free written quote
Itemised by line item — labour, materials, permit, inspection coordination. Typically back to you within one business day. No charge, no obligation.
-
Scheduled workmanship
Our own crew — not subcontracted. Drop sheets down, work clean, walk you through what changed and where the new breakers, GFCIs or outlets live.
-
ESA permit & inspection
We pull the permit, coordinate the Electrical Safety Authority inspector and hand you the signed sign-off your insurer or buyer’s solicitor will want on file.
Home electrical work we actually do.
From the simple to the structural. Anything we won’t scope ourselves, we’ll say so during the visit — and refer you on. We don’t take work outside our license.

The six questions homeowners ask before they call.
Things buyers, sellers and renovating homeowners ask us most often. If yours isn’t here, ask it on the call.
Are you licensed and insured to work in my house?
Yes. Lion Electric holds ECRA/ESA #7002360 — Ontario’s required licensed electrical contracting credential — and we’re fully insured, bonded and WSIB-covered. We’re also part of the Electrical Safety Authority’s Authorized Contractor Program (ACP), which is how some renovation permits are streamlined.
Do you pull the ESA permit, or do I?
We do. Any residential work that requires an ESA permit (panels, service upgrades, additions, reno rough-ins, EV chargers, etc.) is permitted and inspected under our license — and you get the signed inspection paperwork at the end of the job.
Do you charge for the quote?
No. Residential quotes are free, written, itemised, and typically returned within one business day of the on-site visit. There’s no obligation to book the work.
Do you work in French?
Yes. Lion Electric coordinates bilingually in English and Français — phone intake, on-site walk-throughs and the final paperwork can all be handled in either language.
My insurance / mortgage broker wants documentation. Can you provide it?
Yes. The ESA inspection sign-off after a permitted job is the document insurers and lawyers typically request — for knob-and-tube replacement, aluminum-wiring remediation, panel upgrades and other policy-triggering work. We hand it over at closeout.
How far do you travel for a residential call?
From our Orton base we cover Peel, Halton, Wellington and Dufferin regions — that includes Orangeville, Erin, Caledon, Mississauga, Brampton, Milton, Georgetown and the towns in between. Outside that radius, give us a call to confirm.
