We give back to our local communities.
Through our own fund raising initiatives we have raised and donated over $85,000 to children's associations and causes. In 2011 we donated $2,000 to School Breakfast programs.
Wiring is complicated!
All electrical contracting businesses now require a provincial licence from the Electrical Contractor Registration Agency of the Electrical Safety Authority to operate in Ontario.
Before you hire an electrician or electrical contractor check to see that they have an Electrical Contractor´s Licence.
It´s not just a precaution. It´s the law.
