Work that fails inspection costs twice and delays everything queued behind it. Stratford Electrical Services is used by owners and builders across Stratford because that does not happen here, and our emergency electrical services hold the same standard at short notice.
Every job is notified where required, inspected and closed with a certificate, and electrical estimates are issued before it begins. Rewires, fit-outs and commercial electrician services across Stratford are run the same way. Standby power gets no special treatment: backup generator installation, solar battery backup and commercial backup solutions are commissioned and signed off, not simply wired up.
Installed to code the first time, so inspection is a formality rather than the beginning of remedial work.
Faults that cannot wait for a scheduled slot are attended the same day, including outside normal hours.
The written quote becomes the invoice, and variations are agreed with you first or they do not happen.
You get the certificate when the job closes, which is precisely when a buyer or insurer thinks to ask.
A surprising amount of electrical work is technically complete and formally unfinished. The gap between those two usually surfaces at the worst possible moment.
Bonding is what most service upgrades are failed on, and getting it right means one inspection rather than three and no return visits.
Part-finished jobs from a contractor who disappeared get completed and certified, so nothing is outstanding when you come to sell.
A charger circuit is inspectable work, and the paperwork is exactly what a rebate programme or an insurer will ask you to produce.
A system is not signed off until it has carried the building under genuine load, because that is the only test worth anything.
Most repeat faults come back because the symptom was replaced and the cause was never found. Property owners in Stratford use Stratford Electrical Services for electrical repair, covering fault tracing, testing under load, terminations, and lasting fixes.
Tandem breakers filling a board are a sign the service is already at its limit, not a clever use of space. Homeowners in Stratford use Stratford Electrical Services for panel upgrades, covering demand recording, service sizing, bonding, and inspection.
A licence is what makes the certificate at the end of the job worth anything to anybody else. Property owners in Stratford use Stratford Electrical Services for a licensed electrician, covering individual licensing, insurance, testing, and documentation.
Running an extension lead permanently is a sign the room is short of outlets, not short of leads. Homeowners in Stratford use Stratford Electrical Services for outlet installation, covering new circuits, cable routes, box mounting, and testing.
Machinery that starts sluggishly or trips on load is usually starved by its feed rather than worn out. Businesses in Stratford call Stratford Electrical Services for equipment wiring, covering feeders, disconnects, motor starters, controls, and commissioning.
A charger draws continuously for hours, which is a very different demand from anything else in the house. Property owners in Stratford use Stratford Electrical Services for charger installation, covering capacity checks, dedicated circuits, permits, and inspection.
Bonding is what most service upgrades fail on, so it is done correctly at the outset rather than corrected on a return inspection.
Dead panels and scorched devices are seen the day they are reported, evenings and weekends included, because neither improves with time.

Part-finished work is completed and signed off, so no outstanding certification is hanging over the property when it changes hands.
Certificates, labels and a typed directory go together, so the installation is legible to whoever opens the board next.

Our previous upgrade failed inspection twice on bonding. This one passed first time and the certificate came the following week.
We had part-finished work from a contractor who disappeared. Stratford Electrical Services completed it, got it inspected, and closed it so the sale could proceed.
Dead panel on a Saturday and they were here by eleven. Failed main breaker, replaced the same afternoon.
The charger circuit was permitted and certified by Stratford Electrical Services, which the rebate programme asked for directly. Went through untouched.
Certificates, labels and a typed directory handed over on the final day. Nothing outstanding, nothing to chase up.

Don't see your area listed? We likely still serve you — just ask.
Yes. Every service change needs an electrical notification filed and an inspection booked before the work is signed off, with no exceptions for like-for-like swaps. We file the notification within 1 business day of your approval, schedule the inspector, and hand you the Certificate of Acceptance at close-out. Keep that certificate, because it is the document your insurer asks for when you renew.
Most attached-garage installs land between $900 and $1,800, and the two things that move the number are the length of the cable run and whether your panel has a free double-pole slot. A ten minute load check tells us which end of that range you are on. You get a fixed written price before any work starts.
Usually. We hold same-day slots every weekday for no-power calls, burning smells, and breakers that will not reset, and an electrician is on call after 10PM for genuine emergencies. If we cannot reach you the same day we will tell you when you call rather than after you have waited. Booked work such as panel upgrades is typically scheduled within 5 to 10 business days.
Every job carries 2 years on our labour plus the manufacturer warranty on any panel, breaker, or device we supply, which usually runs 1 to 10 years depending on the part. The terms are printed on your invoice rather than buried in a policy document. Stratford Electrical Services honours that labour warranty regardless of which of our electricians did the original work.
Regularly, and it is one of the most common reasons property owners in Stratford call us. We can replace the wiring in stages if the budget calls for it, starting with the circuits insurers flag first, and we provide the documentation and certificate they require before renewing. Most full-house rewires run 3 to 5 working days depending on the number of circuits and whether the walls are open.
Three signs matter most: a service rated at 60 or 100 amps, a panel with no spare breaker slots left, and breakers that trip when two ordinary appliances run together. Any fuse panel, or any panel carrying a recalled brand, should be assessed regardless of how it is behaving. We run a load calculation across Stratford properties and tell you honestly whether an upgrade is needed or whether a subpanel solves it for less.
A standard 100 to 200 amp service upgrade is a single day on site, and your power is off for roughly 4 to 6 hours of that while the service is swapped and terminated. We give you the shut-off window the day before so you can plan around fridges, freezers, and any work-from-home commitments. The inspection is usually booked within 2 business days of completion.
Every electrician on our crews holds a valid licence, and the company carries $5 million in liability coverage plus full WSIB clearance. We subcontract nothing, so the person who quoted your job is the person on your property doing it. Stratford Electrical Services can send current copies of the licence, insurance certificate, and WSIB clearance before we start if you would like them on file.
