Occupied Building Services, Scarborough

Most attached-garage installs land between $900 and $1,800, and the two things that move the number are the length of the cable run and whether your panel has a free double-pole slot. A ten minute load check tells us which end of that range you are on. You get a fixed written price before any work starts.

Usually. We hold same-day slots every weekday for no-power calls, burning smells, and breakers that will not reset, and an electrician is on call after 10PM for genuine emergencies. If we cannot reach you the same day we will tell you when you call rather than after you have waited. Booked work such as panel upgrades is typically scheduled within 5 to 10 business days.

Every job carries 2 years on our labour plus the manufacturer warranty on any panel, breaker, or device we supply, which usually runs 1 to 10 years depending on the part. The terms are printed on your invoice rather than buried in a policy document. Scarborough Electrical Services honours that labour warranty regardless of which of our electricians did the original work.

Regularly, and it is one of the most common reasons property owners in Scarborough call us. We can replace the wiring in stages if the budget calls for it, starting with the circuits insurers flag first, and we provide the documentation and certificate they require before renewing. Most full-house rewires run 3 to 5 working days depending on the number of circuits and whether the walls are open.

Three signs matter most: a service rated at 60 or 100 amps, a panel with no spare breaker slots left, and breakers that trip when two ordinary appliances run together. Any fuse panel, or any panel carrying a recalled brand, should be assessed regardless of how it is behaving. We run a load calculation across Scarborough properties and tell you honestly whether an upgrade is needed or whether a subpanel solves it for less.

A standard 100 to 200 amp service upgrade is a single day on site, and your power is off for roughly 4 to 6 hours of that while the service is swapped and terminated. We give you the shut-off window the day before so you can plan around fridges, freezers, and any work-from-home commitments. The inspection is usually booked within 2 business days of completion.

Every electrician on our crews holds a valid licence, and the company carries $5 million in liability coverage plus full WSIB clearance. We subcontract nothing, so the person who quoted your job is the person on your property doing it. Scarborough Electrical Services can send current copies of the licence, insurance certificate, and WSIB clearance before we start if you would like them on file.
