A collaborative partner of choice in our industry delivering safe, professional and cost-effective electrical and technology solutions.

Electrical Contractor in the Greater Toronto Area

As a Top 10 electrical contractor in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), we have completed over 1100 projects in every sector over our 50+ years in business. By leveraging our electrical, construction, and service capabilities, we will provide electrical solutions for your project to bring value, reduce risk, and guarantee success. End-to-end electrical support like this allow us, as a multi-disciplined electrical company, to successfully complete any project, in any sector, to meet the growing demands of our customers and the industry.

We have three distinctly different electrical departments offering electrical services in different capacities, quantities, designs, and forms. You can be rest assured that electricians from any of these departments—construction, commercial/industrial/small projects, service/maintenance—are well trained, experienced, keep safety first, and will complete your job.

This is true of not only our field team but also our office team that consistently and reliably provides design, engineering, and estimating services for these departments. In short, our electrical departments provide different services, but they work together as one to get electrical, technological, and maintenance projects completed for you.

Electrical is what we do, and we will continue to do our best so you will continue to be our client.
