Electrical work is where cutting corners gets dangerous, so in Ottawa the best electricians are licensed ECRA/ESA contractors who pull the right permits and leave the work inspected. They handle panel upgrades, rewiring, EV charger installs, and the safety fixes older homes need. The companies below cover repairs, panel and service upgrades, pot lights, generators, and EV chargers across the city. Each is a real, currently-operating Ottawa business with public reviews you can check, so you can confirm the ECRA/ESA licence and insurance before anyone opens your panel.

What separates a great electrician from a cheap quote, and the questions worth asking before you sign.
In Ontario, electrical work must be done by a licensed electrical contractor who takes out an ESA permit. Ask for the ECRA/ESA licence number; unlicensed work can void insurance.
A permit means the Electrical Safety Authority inspects the work. Confirm the electrician includes the permit, and keep the inspection certificate for your records and any future sale.
Adding an EV charger, hot tub, or finished basement can push an older panel past its limit. A good electrician checks your service capacity first rather than overloading it.
Some older Ottawa homes still have knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring that insurers dislike. An electrician can assess it and stage the fixes; ask what your insurer requires.
