Bathroom Electrical Services Toronto
Bathrooms demand specialized electrical work — moisture, GFCI requirements, and strict Ontario code compliance make it a job for licensed professionals. Our ESA-certified electricians handle everything from exhaust fan wiring and vanity lighting to full bathroom electrical rough-ins, so your renovation is safe, inspected, and code-compliant.
Why Bathroom Electrical Requires a Licensed Pro
Bathrooms are classified as wet locations under the Ontario Electrical Safety Code. 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 that meet the current Ontario Electrical Code and pass ESA inspection.
Wet Location Wiring
Bathrooms require specific wire types, junction box ratings, and conduit methods. Improper wiring near water creates serious shock and fire hazards — especially in older Toronto homes being renovated.
Dedicated Circuits Needed
The Ontario Electrical Code requires a dedicated 20A circuit for bathroom receptacles. Hair dryers, curling irons, and electric shavers pull heavy loads — shared circuits trip breakers and create hazards.
Permit & Inspection
Bathroom electrical work in Toronto requires an ESA permit and inspection. Skipping this step can void your home insurance, create liability during a sale, and result in fines from the Electrical Safety Authority.
Exhaust Fan Ventilation
Proper exhaust fan wiring prevents moisture damage, mould growth, and premature rot. We wire bathroom fans to code — including timer switches and humidity-sensing controls for hands-free operation.
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 proper circuit protection.
Planning a 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 reno passes ESA inspection on the first visit.
Our Bathroom Electrical Services
From simple outlet upgrades to complete bathroom electrical rough-ins, we handle every aspect of bathroom wiring for Toronto homeowners and contractors.
GFCI Outlet Installation
We install and upgrade tamper-resistant GFCI receptacles in every bathroom. Existing two-prong outlets are replaced with grounded, code-compliant GFCI protection — essential for safety near water.
Exhaust Fan Wiring
New exhaust fan installation or replacement of noisy, inefficient units. We wire ceiling fans with timer switches, humidity sensors, or combination fan-light-heater units for modern bathrooms.
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 bathroom ambiance.
Shower & Tub Lighting
Recessed pot lights above showers and tubs must carry a wet-location rating. We install IC-rated, vapour-sealed fixtures that meet code and look great — no exposed bulbs or improper housings.
In-Floor Heating Wiring
Electric radiant floor heating is popular in Toronto bathroom renovations. We wire heated floor mats and thermostats on dedicated circuits so your heated floors work safely and efficiently.
Full Bathroom Rough-In
Building a new bathroom or gutting an existing one? We handle the complete electrical rough-in — running new circuits from the panel, placing boxes for outlets, switches, and fixtures, all before drywall.
Panel & Circuit Upgrades
Older Toronto homes often lack the panel capacity for a modern bathroom. We add dedicated 20A bathroom circuits and upgrade panels from 60A/100A to 200A when needed to support your renovation.
Smart Bathroom Features
Motion-sensor switches, smart mirrors, Bluetooth speaker fans, towel warmer outlets — we wire the modern conveniences that make your Toronto bathroom renovation truly complete.
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.
