When it comes to electrical work—whether you’re adding a new circuit in your home or upgrading an entire commercial system—cutting corners can be dangerous. At Tyfar Electric, we’ve seen firsthand the risks that come with hiring unlicensed workers or attempting DIY installations.
In Ottawa and across Ontario, electrical work is heavily regulated—and for good reason. Here’s why hiring a licensed electrician isn’t just the smart choice—it’s the legal and safe one.
⚡ 1. We Know the Code – So You Don’t Have To
In Canada, all electrical work must follow the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)—with Ontario adding its own provincial rules through the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA).
At Tyfar Electric, we stay fully up to date on:
- The latest CEC updates
- ESA regulations and permit requirements
- Local Ottawa codes for residential and commercial buildings
We ensure your job is done right the first time, fully compliant, and ready to pass inspection.
🔥 2. Safety First – For You, Your Family, and Your Property
Improper electrical work is one of the leading causes of residential fires in Canada. From overloaded circuits to faulty aluminum wiring, the risks are real. Licensed electricians are trained to:
- Safely handle high-voltage installations
- Properly ground and bond systems
- Spot and fix potential fire hazards
When you work with Tyfar Electric, you’re putting safety first—no guesswork, no shortcuts.
🏢 3. Commercial Electrical Work? Even More Critical
If you own or manage a business in Ottawa, a power failure or fire hazard can mean downtime, lost revenue, or worse—liability issues.
Licensed commercial electricians like our team at Tyfar Electric are trained in:
- Load balancing and system design
- Fire code and OH&S compliance
- Surge protection and backup systems
- Structured wiring for modern tech needs
We understand what your business needs—reliability, safety, and compliance.
🧾 4. Insurance and Legal Liability
Here in Ontario, most insurance providers will not cover damages caused by unlicensed or unpermitted electrical work. If something goes wrong, you may be left personally liable.
Tyfar Electric carries:
- Full liability insurance
- WSIB coverage
- Proper permits for all ESA-inspected work
We also provide documentation for resale, financing, or future renovations—making sure you’re covered from all angles.
💡 5. It’s an Investment in Quality and Peace of Mind
While unlicensed labor may seem cheaper upfront, it often leads to costly problems later. Hiring Tyfar Electric means:
- Long-lasting workmanship
- CSA-approved materials
- Proper diagnostics and professional repairs
You get more than just a service—you get peace of mind.
⚖️ 6. It’s the Law in Ontario
In Ontario, only licensed electricians or registered apprentices supervised by one can legally perform electrical work. The ESA requires permits for nearly all jobs—even something as simple as installing pot lights.
Avoid the fines, inspection failures, and liability. Hire a licensed team that understands the process and handles it for you.
