Bathroom Electrical Services Etobicoke
Etobicoke's blend of 1950s–70s postwar bungalows, Humber Valley estate homes, and new lakefront condos makes bathroom electrical work a job for specialists. Moisture, GFCI requirements, and strict Ontario code compliance are non-negotiable. Our ESA-certified electricians serve every Etobicoke neighbourhood — from Sunnylea to Mimico — handling exhaust fan wiring, vanity lighting, GFCI upgrades, and complete bathroom rough-ins so your renovation is safe, inspected, and fully code-compliant.
Why Etobicoke Bathrooms Require a Licensed Pro
Etobicoke is home to thousands of postwar bungalows and split-levels built between the 1950s and 1970s — many still running original 60-amp panels and outdated wiring. Bathrooms are classified as wet locations under the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, and every outlet, switch, and fixture must meet strict requirements to keep your family safe.
GFCI Protection Required
Every bathroom receptacle within 1.5 metres of a sink or water source must be GFCI-protected. We install tamper-resistant GFCI outlets meeting the current Ontario Electrical Code — essential in Etobicoke's older homes where standard outlets are still common in bathrooms.
Wet Location Wiring
Etobicoke's postwar housing stock frequently contains outdated wiring methods — including aluminum wiring and knob-and-tube — that don't meet wet-location requirements. Improper wiring near water creates serious shock and fire hazards, especially during bungalow renovations.
Dedicated Circuits Needed
The Ontario Electrical Code requires a dedicated 20A circuit for bathroom receptacles. Many Etobicoke homes built in the 1950s–70s still run shared circuits — a code violation that trips breakers and creates real hazards for hair dryers, curling irons, and electric shavers.
Permit & Inspection
Bathroom electrical work in Etobicoke requires an ESA permit and inspection. Skipping this step can void your home insurance, create liability during resale, and result in fines from the Electrical Safety Authority — a serious risk in Etobicoke's active real estate market.
Exhaust Fan Ventilation
Proper exhaust fan wiring prevents moisture damage and mould — a particular concern in Etobicoke's lakefront communities like Mimico and Long Branch where humidity is naturally higher. We wire fans with timer and humidity-sensing controls for hands-free protection.
Vanity & Shower Lighting
Lighting above showers and tubs must be rated for wet or damp locations. We install recessed pot lights, vanity sconces, and LED mirrors with the correct IP ratings and circuit protection — in Etobicoke bungalow bathrooms and luxury Kingsway ensuite renovations alike.
Planning an Etobicoke Bathroom Renovation?
Get the electrical done right the first time. We coordinate with your contractor or GC to rough-in wiring before drywall goes up — saving you thousands in rework and ensuring your Etobicoke renovation passes ESA inspection on the first visit.
Our Bathroom Electrical Services in Etobicoke
From GFCI upgrades in Alderwood bungalows to complete bathroom rough-ins in new Humber Bay condo builds — we handle every aspect of bathroom wiring for Etobicoke homeowners and contractors.
GFCI Outlet Installation
We install and upgrade tamper-resistant GFCI receptacles in every Etobicoke bathroom. Older two-prong outlets common in postwar homes are replaced with grounded, code-compliant GFCI protection — essential for safety near water.
Exhaust Fan Wiring
New exhaust fan installation or replacement of old, noisy units. We wire fans with timer switches, humidity sensors, or combination fan-light-heater units — ideal for Etobicoke's lakefront and older bungalow bathrooms prone to moisture buildup.
Vanity & Mirror Lighting
Upgrade dim bathroom lighting with modern LED vanity fixtures, backlit mirrors, and sconce lighting. We handle the wiring, switching, and dimmer installation for the perfect ambiance in any Etobicoke home — from modest bungalow to Kingsway estate.
Shower & Tub Lighting
Recessed pot lights above showers and tubs must carry a wet-location rating. We install IC-rated, vapour-sealed fixtures meeting Ontario code and looking great — no exposed bulbs or improper housings in your Etobicoke renovation.
In-Floor Heating Wiring
Electric radiant floor heating is a top upgrade in Etobicoke bathroom renovations, especially in Sunnylea and Humber Valley homes. We wire heated floor mats and thermostats on dedicated circuits for safe, efficient operation year-round.
Full Bathroom Rough-In
Gutting a bathroom or adding one to your Etobicoke home? We handle the complete electrical rough-in — running new circuits from the panel, placing all outlet, switch, and fixture boxes before drywall goes up. We coordinate with your GC from day one.
Panel & Circuit Upgrades
Hundreds of Etobicoke homes still operate on 60A or 100A panels that can't safely support a modern bathroom renovation. We add dedicated 20A bathroom circuits and upgrade panels to 200A service when required — handling permits and ESA inspection end to end.
Smart Bathroom Features
Motion-sensor switches, smart mirrors, Bluetooth speaker fans, towel warmer outlets — we wire the modern conveniences that complete an Etobicoke bathroom renovation, from Long Branch townhomes to Humber Valley Village estate ensuite suites.
ESA Permit & Inspection
We pull the ESA permit, schedule the inspection, and ensure everything passes on the first visit. You receive a certificate of inspection for your records, your insurer, and future resale — important documentation in Etobicoke's competitive property market.

What Etobicoke Homeowners Are Saying
Trusted by families across Etobicoke for safe, code-compliant bathroom electrical work.
"We were gutting our 1960s Sunnylea bungalow bathroom and had no idea how outdated the wiring was. Kolji Bros. found old aluminum circuits that needed full replacement before anything else could proceed. They handled the ESA permit, upgraded the panel, and passed inspection without a single issue. Absolutely the right call."
"Our Mimico condo bathroom needed new GFCI outlets and a proper exhaust fan wired to a humidity sensor. The team arrived on time, explained everything clearly, pulled the permit themselves, and left the space spotless. ESA inspection passed first try. I'd hire them again without hesitation."
"We added in-floor heating, a backlit LED mirror, and a pot light over the shower in our Kingsway ensuite renovation. Kolji Bros. coordinated perfectly with our GC, finished their rough-in ahead of schedule, and came back for trim-out without any delays. The heated floors alone were worth every penny."
