Electrical work in Scarborough homes
Homes from the 1960s–70s
Homes built in the mid-1960s to early 1970s are the era when aluminum branch wiring was sometimes used in Canada. If you’re renovating or unsure of your home’s wiring, an electrician can check and advise on safe options.
Outdoor lighting
Many Scarborough homes have larger lots and driveways where soffit, porch and security lighting adds safety and curb appeal.
Utility and permits
Scarborough is served by Toronto Hydro. Most electrical work beyond simple replacements requires an ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) permit in Ontario, regardless of the municipality.
