Electrical Ottawa is a free matching service that helps you find local electricians — with ESA licences verified daily where they've been provided.
Finding a trustworthy electrician in Ottawa can be challenging. With electrical work, the stakes are high - improper wiring can lead to fires, shocks, or code violations that affect your insurance. You need someone who's properly licensed and knows what they're doing.
Electrical Ottawa was created to solve this problem. We connect Ottawa homeowners with local electricians, free of charge. Electricians who give us their ESA licence number carry a verified badge on their profile — we re-check those licences daily against the Electrical Safety Authority's own database. If an electrician has no badge, it simply means they haven't submitted a number; you can look up any licence yourself at esasafe.com.
We're part of the Ottawa Construction Network, a family of specialized trade sites dedicated to helping Ottawa residents find qualified professionals for their home improvement projects.
Submit a request describing your electrical needs - panel upgrade, rewiring, EV charger installation, or other electrical work.
We connect you with ESA licensed electricians from our network who specialize in your type of project.

Our network of ESA licensed electricians handle all types of residential electrical work:
Older Ottawa homes often have 60A or 100A panels that can't handle modern electrical demands. Our electricians upgrade panels to 200A or higher, allowing you to add EV chargers, air conditioning, hot tubs, and other high-draw appliances without tripping breakers.
They also replace dangerous Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels that are known fire hazards - something your insurance company may require.
Many Ottawa homes built before 1950 still have knob and tube wiring. While not inherently dangerous if undisturbed, this old wiring lacks a ground wire and becomes a fire hazard when insulation covers it or when it's been improperly modified.
Insurance companies increasingly require knob and tube removal. Our electricians provide full rewiring services that bring your home up to modern safety standards.
With electric vehicle adoption growing in Ottawa, home charging has become essential. Our electricians install Level 2 chargers (240V) for all makes of electric vehicles including Tesla, Chevrolet, Ford, Hyundai, and others.
Installation includes a dedicated circuit, proper GFCI protection, and any panel upgrades needed - plus the permit and ESA inspection.
Whether you're renovating an older home or dealing with outdated aluminum wiring, our electricians handle complete rewiring projects. This includes upgrading to modern copper wiring, adding more circuits, and ensuring your home meets current Ontario Electrical Safety Code requirements.
Electrical emergencies don't wait for business hours. Many electricians in our network offer 24/7 emergency service for power outages, sparking outlets, burning smells, and other urgent electrical issues that need immediate attention.
