Renovations
Renovation electrical, done right the first time.
It doesn't matter what decade your home was built. We have a very wide frame of knowledge that helps us tackle your renovation in the most efficient manner, whether that's a 1950s bungalow with old wiring or a 2010s build getting a major addition. Current Electric handles all the electrical work your renovation requires, from rough-in to final inspection, so your contractor and your inspector are both happy at the end.

Electrical for every type of renovation.
From a single-room refresh to a whole-home gut renovation, we handle the electrical scope from start to finish, coordinating with your general contractor so nothing holds up your timeline.
Kitchen renovations
Dedicated circuits for appliances, under-cabinet lighting, island outlets, and upgraded service to handle modern kitchen loads.
Bathroom renovations
GFCI protection, exhaust fan wiring, heated floor circuits, vanity lighting, and everything else your bathroom upgrade needs.
Basement finishing
Rough-in wiring, pot lights, dedicated circuits, egress window lighting, and panel upgrades for a fully finished lower level.
Additions and new builds
Full rough-in, service upgrades, and panel work for home additions, garages, secondary suites, and new construction.
Rewiring and panel upgrades
Replace outdated knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, upgrade your panel, and bring your home up to current electrical code.
Contractor and GC partnerships
We work regularly with general contractors and tradespeople across London to handle the electrical scope cleanly and on schedule.
Any Home, Any Era
From 1940s knob-and-tube to modern additions.
Older homes come with their own electrical quirks: undersized panels, outdated wiring methods, missing grounding, and circuits that weren't built for today's loads. We've worked in homes from every decade and know what to look for, what needs to be brought up to code, and how to do it without tearing apart everything that's already working.

FAQ
Renovation electrical questions.
Do I need an electrician for my home renovation?
Any work that involves new wiring, moving circuits, adding outlets, or changes to your panel requires a licensed electrical contractor in Ontario. This includes kitchen and bathroom renovations, basement finishing, and additions. Unpermitted electrical work can affect your home insurance and create problems when you sell.
Do you work with general contractors?
Yes. We work regularly alongside GCs and other tradespeople in London. We're familiar with coordinating rough-in timing, working around other trades, and keeping the electrical scope on track with the overall project schedule.
Can you work on older homes with knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring?
Yes. We have experience with homes from every era, including properties with knob-and-tube wiring. We'll assess what needs to be replaced, what can remain, and what your insurance provider requires, and give you a clear picture before any work starts.
Do renovation projects require ESA permits?
Most renovation electrical work in Ontario requires an ESA permit. This includes new circuits, panel changes, and wiring in kitchens, bathrooms, and finished basements. We pull the permit and coordinate the inspection as part of the job, so you have the documentation you need.
When do you come in during a renovation?
Typically twice. We do the rough-in during the framing stage, before insulation and drywall go up. We return for the finish stage once drywall is complete to install devices, fixtures, and connect everything. We coordinate the timing with your GC to keep things moving.
Can you help with a basement apartment or secondary suite?
Yes. Secondary suites require their own circuits, smoke detector wiring, egress lighting, and often a panel upgrade or sub-panel. We handle the full electrical scope and ensure it meets Ontario Building Code and ESA requirements.
