Your home is giving you signs that it’s having electrical issues. Some outlets are discoloured, even blackened. You’ve noticed sparks when unplugging an electrical device or when turning a light switch on or off. A breaker keeps tripping and is not resetting. A light switch has stopped working or when lights are flickering. It’s time to call in the professionals, but how do you know which electrician to invite into your home? Is there some way to know who to trust?

Electricity is NOT a hobby. Put your trust in Apollo Electric. We’re proud to be recognized as a Member of the Electrical Safety Authority’s (ESA) Authorized Contractor Program (ACP), which is a not-for-profit corporation responsible for public safety in Ontario. The Program was developed by ESA to identify those Contractors who consistently perform Ontario Electrical Safety Code compliant work at a level that reinforces public electrical safety.

An advantage to hiring a Licensed Electrical Contractor as opposed to a handyman electrician is that the Contractor can take the additional steps of getting the required permits, receiving inspections on work or receiving any necessary safety certificate for the work performed. ESA is working to ensure that electrical installations in Ontario meet the Code requirements of the Ontario Electrical Safety Code. This Code requires that an application for inspection be filed with ESA for any electrical installations and wiring done in your home to ensure your safety.
