Electrician in Windsor, ON
Windsor has some of the oldest housing in the region, from Walkerville and Olde Sandwich Towne to Ford City, alongside newer east and south end subdivisions. Each era brings its own wiring.
Windsor homeowners call us for panel upgrades on 60 and 100 amp services, knob and tube replacement in pre-war homes, EV chargers in detached garages off the alley, and pot lights in plaster ceilings. In older neighbourhoods, much of the job is understanding what previous owners added over the decades before we change anything.
Electrical permits and inspections in Windsor go through the province, not the city, and service upgrades are coordinated with ENWIN Utilities. Below you'll find each of our services with information specific to Windsor homes.
Permits and inspections in Windsor
Electrical work in Windsor needs a permit (called a notification) filed with the Electrical Safety Authority, and paid work must be done by an ESA Licensed Electrical Contractor. ESA inspects the work and issues a Certificate of Acceptance, which insurers and buyers often ask for. Service upgrades also involve ENWIN Utilities for the disconnect and reconnect. Utility locates are requested before any digging for buried runs.
Power & Panels in Windsor
Many Windsor homes still run on 60 or 100 amp services with crowded panels, and plenty have detached garages off rear alleys, which makes EV charger and generator installs a matter of planning the route. Service upgrades here are coordinated with ENWIN Utilities for the disconnect and reconnect.
