Straight answers about your electrical project.

We price every job after a visit to your site. The quote reflects the scope of work, the materials, the permit and the conditions we see in person, so you get a clear number instead of a rough guess.

Two jobs that sound the same on the phone can be very different on site. The age of the wiring, the capacity of the panel, access and the layout of the space all change the work. Seeing it first means an accurate quote and no surprises once the job starts.

A list of what you want done is a great start. For renovations and new construction, drawings, builder plans and your expected schedule help us quote accurately. For repairs, note when the problem happens and what was running at the time.

Most electrical work in Ontario requires a notification of work, often called a permit, with the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA). As a licensed electrical contractor, FM Electric takes out the permit and arranges the ESA inspection for any work that requires one.

In Ontario, anyone you hire to do electrical work must be a Licensed Electrical Contractor with the ESA. You can confirm any licence number with the ESA's online contractor lookup. FM Electric's ESA licence number is 7011961.

A Master Electrician in Ontario has passed a provincial exam on the Ontario Electrical Safety Code and the regulations that govern electrical work, and is responsible for the electrical work carried out by a licensed contractor. Fred Monfils holds Master Electrician licence 6015284.

Flickering or dimming lights, outlets or switch plates that feel warm, breakers that trip often, buzzing from the panel, burning smells and scorch marks are all warning signs. Stop using the affected circuit and call a licensed electrician. If you smell burning or see smoke, leave the building and call 911.

As early as you can. Settling the electrical plan before framing is finished makes it easy to put outlets, lighting, network and EV charger circuits exactly where you want them.

Yes, and it is the most cost-effective time to do it. Running the circuit during the build avoids opening finished walls later on.
