Ottawa Electricians

November 4, 2016

“Quality and experienced workmanship! Ahmad and his team installed 10 LED pot lights for our kitchen. From answering questions, explaining the best layout, to cleaning up after the work… couldn’t ask for anything more and be happier. He went above and beyond by doing additional work (replacing some switches, adding a dimmer switch, and resolving some minor issues in other areas of the home). Highly recommend SVET Electric! They’ll be my only call for any electrical work in my home.”

What do licensed Ottawa electricians do?

An electrical contractor plans, installs and repairs wiring in structures. He or she works closely with the home’s general contractor or remodeling contractor to determine the specific electrical needs for the project and to ensure that the wiring will meet Ottawa building codes. An electrical contractor’s job also includes installing and repairing fixtures, switches and other visible components of electrical systems.

With today’s technological needs and advances, many electricians in Ottawa also are trained to install fiber optic and coaxial cables for electronic equipment. Certain electrical companies may design and install data systems and wire for security features such as alarms too. Some Ottawa electrical contractors specialize in specific areas, such as HVAC, low-voltage appliances and systems and more, so be sure to ask about their training to see if it fits your project needs.
