How to compare electrical companies
Some electrical companies are one licensed electrician with a van, and others run several crews. The size of the company tells you less than three simple questions: are they licensed, do they do jobs like yours, and can they come when you need them?
Putting a few companies side by side on the points below usually makes the choice obvious.
What to compare
Licensing
An ECRA/ESA licence is required for any electrical company in Ontario. Ask for the number.
Response time
Ask whether they take calls after hours or on weekends.
Type of work
Some focus on new builds or commercial jobs. Make sure yours is a fit.
Quoting
A written quote after seeing the job beats a number given over the phone.
