Why Etobicoke Homes Need Professional Electrical Wiring
Etobicoke's diverse housing stock presents unique electrical challenges requiring specialized expertise.
Heritage Homes (Pre-1950s)
Victorian and Edwardian homes in The Kingsway, Sunnylea, and Princess-Rosethorn often contain original knob-and-tube wiring which lacks grounding and cannot support modern electrical loads, with many Etobicoke insurance companies now requiring complete removal before providing coverage.
Post-War Homes (1960s-1970s)
Homes built 1965-1975 in Markland Wood, Eatonville, and Humber Heights often feature aluminum wiring which expands and contracts creating loose connections that can overheat, requiring ESA-approved remediation using specialized COPALUM or AlumiConn connectors to prevent fire hazards.
Modern Development (1990s-Present)
Contemporary builds in Mimico, Long Branch, and Humber Bay require future-ready electrical infrastructure supporting EV chargers, smart home systems, and energy management solutions while ensuring capacity planning meets modern demands and Ontario Electrical Safety Code compliance for decades of reliable service.
