Electrical Inspections & Assessments
Professional Assessments. Certified Safety.
While the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) is the only body mandated to conduct official electrical inspections in Ontario, property owners often require a professional assessment to ensure their systems are safe and up to code.
At AC Toronto Electric Company Ltd., we provide comprehensive electrical assessments to identify potential hazards, ensure your system meets current Ontario Electrical Safety Code standards, and prepare your property for official ESA certification.
Our Assessment Process
As a Licensed Electrical Contractor (LEC), we act as your professional advocate, providing a detailed look at your system to ensure it is safe and compliant.
- Standardized Reporting: We utilize industry-standard assessment forms to document the condition of your wiring, panels, and devices.
- Safety Identification: We identify "un-safe" conditions, code violations, or aging infrastructure that could pose a fire or shock hazard.
- Home Inspection Resolution: We can directly address and repair any electrical issues flagged in a recent home inspection report, providing the professional documentation needed for real estate or insurance purposes.
- Formal Recommendations: Upon completion, you receive a clear report outlining our findings and the specific steps required to bring the property into full compliance.
- ESA Coordination: If your project requires a formal Notification of Work, we handle the filing and coordinate with ESA inspectors on your behalf to ensure a smooth final inspection.
When Do You Need an Assessment?
- Real Estate Transactions: Clear the "red flags" from a home inspection report before closing.
- Insurance Requirements: Many providers require an LEC assessment for older homes (e.g., knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring).
- Renovations & Upgrades: Before starting a project, know exactly what your current system can handle.
- General Peace of Mind: Periodic assessments are the best way to prevent electrical emergencies before they happen.
Note: All electrical work performed by AC Toronto Electric is filed with the ESA, ensuring your property remains compliant with provincial law and that you receive a Certificate of Acceptance for all completed work.
