The Details
A basement finish is one of the best investments you can make in your home. We work with your contractor or directly with you to plan the complete electrical layout before drywall goes up. This includes outlet placement every 12 feet (code minimum), lighting circuits, bathroom ventilation, and dedicated circuits for any high-draw equipment. We pull all required permits and schedule ESA inspections.
Basement Finishing FAQs
Electrical for a typical GTA basement finish — pot lights, outlets every 12 feet, bathroom fan, smoke/CO detectors, and dedicated circuits — runs $3,500–$7,000 depending on size and scope. A legal basement apartment with its own panel costs more. Quotes are free and itemized.
Yes. All basement wiring in Ontario requires an ESA notification and inspection, and the City building permit for your renovation will require the electrical to pass. We pull the ESA permit, schedule inspections, and coordinate with your contractor so drywall isn't delayed.
A code-compliant second unit needs interconnected smoke/CO detectors in both units, adequate panel capacity (often a sub-panel), proper egress lighting, and dedicated kitchen circuits. Separate metering is optional but popular with landlords. We handle the full package.
