My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Svet electric
Local Electricians, Contractors & Companies in Ottawa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 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.”

Electrician FAQs
Look for licensed, insured electricians with experience in your specific type of project. Request references, verify credentials, and get detailed written estimates. Ask about their specific expertise and ensure they're familiar with local building codes.
Any work involving wiring, electrical panels, circuit installation, or major appliance connections requires a licensed electrician. Simple tasks like changing light fixtures or switches can be DIY, but anything involving your home's electrical system should be professional.
Costs vary based on project scope, materials needed, and labor time. Most electricians charge hourly rates plus materials. Always get a detailed written estimate that includes labor, materials, permits, and potential additional costs.
Your contract should detail scope of work, timeline, cost breakdown, payment schedule, warranty information, and who's responsible for repairs to any structural damage during work. It should also specify whether workers are employees or subcontractors.
Have a professional inspection every 3-5 years, or more frequently in older homes. Regular inspections can identify potential hazards and ensure your system meets current safety standards.
