Electrical Wiring Installation Kingsway – Safe, Code-Compliant Tudor Home Rewiring

Yes, all electrical wiring work requires permits through the City of Toronto and ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) notification. This includes rewiring, panel upgrades, new circuits, and knob-and-tube replacement. We handle all permit applications, fee payments, and ESA inspection coordination as part of our comprehensive service.

Most complete rewiring projects take 5–10 working days depending on home size and complexity. A typical 3-bedroom Tudor home averages 6–7 days. Larger estates or properties requiring extensive heritage finish protection may take 2–3 weeks. We maintain power to critical areas throughout the project so you can remain in your home.

We use heritage-sensitive techniques to minimize damage including fishing wires through existing cavities, accessing from basements and attics, and making strategic small openings. Some patching is typically necessary, but we plan routes carefully to avoid damaging crown molding, tapestry brick, or decorative plaster. We can coordinate with your restoration contractor for seamless repairs.

Insurance companies view knob-and-tube wiring as a fire risk, especially when covered by insulation, modified improperly, or deteriorated after 80+ years. Most Kingsway insurers now refuse coverage or charge substantial premiums for homes with more than 10% knob-and-tube remaining. Complete removal with modern copper wiring satisfies these requirements.

Yes, most homeowners remain in their Kingsway homes during rewiring. We work room by room, maintain power to essentials like refrigerators and heating, and schedule brief service interruptions at convenient times. We'll discuss the timeline and any temporary power limitations during your consultation so you can plan accordingly.

We provide complete documentation including ESA electrical safety certificates, City of Toronto permit records, detailed invoices specifying all work performed, before/after photos, and updated circuit panel directories. This comprehensive package satisfies all Kingsway insurance company requirements for knob-and-tube removal verification and policy renewal.

All our electrical wiring installations include comprehensive workmanship warranties. If any issue arises from our installation, we return to repair it at no charge. The copper wiring, panels, and devices we install are rated for decades of reliable service and meet or exceed all Ontario Electrical Safety Code requirements.
