Switches & Outlets — professional electrical work in Toronto & the GTA

Scope of work

  • GFCI outlets for kitchens, baths, and outdoors
  • Tamper-resistant receptacles (code required)
  • USB-A and USB-C combo outlets
  • Smart dimmer switches and timers
  • Three-way and four-way switch wiring

Switches & Outlets FAQs

Where are GFCI outlets required in Ontario?

The Ontario Electrical Safety Code requires GFCI protection for outlets within 1.5 metres of sinks, in bathrooms, outdoors, and in other damp locations. We also recommend them in garages and unfinished basements. Each GFCI outlet installed typically costs $120–$180 including parts.

How much does it cost to replace switches and outlets?

Standard outlet or switch replacement runs $80–$120 each, with volume pricing for whole-home refreshes. Specialty devices — GFCI, USB-C combo outlets, smart dimmers, timers — range $120–$250 installed depending on the device.

Why do my outlets feel warm or make a buzzing sound?

A warm or buzzing outlet usually means a loose connection, a worn receptacle, or an overloaded circuit — all genuine fire risks. Stop using the outlet and have it inspected promptly. We diagnose and repair these same-day across the GTA.
