Electrical Services in Oshawa
Tron provides electrical services for homes, condos, commercial properties and other buildings throughout Oshawa. We handle projects ranging from smaller electrical troubleshooting and installations to complete panel upgrades, service upgrades, EV charging, lighting systems and major commercial electrical work.
Oshawa has one of the older housing stocks in Durham Region, with many homes near downtown and the McLaughlin area built well before modern electrical demand. Service upgrades, panel replacements and knob and tube or aluminum wiring remediation make up much of our work here, along with EV charging and backyard electrical in the newer north-end subdivisions. Oshawa has its own municipal electrical utility, which handles the service side of upgrades.
Oshawa has one of the older housing stocks in the eastern GTA, and that shapes most of our work here. Central Oshawa, the McLaughlin area, Lakeview and the streets near downtown hold pre-war and postwar homes where 60A and 100A services, fuse panels, ungrounded two-wire circuits and knob-and-tube remnants are all realistic findings, along with duplexes and converted houses. Donevan, Eastdale and O'Neill are mid-century detached housing. Taunton, Windfields and northern Oshawa bring newer detached and townhouse subdivisions with 200A services and attached garages. Oshawa also has a large industrial and institutional base, plus student rental housing near the university and college. Our work spans rewiring, fuse-to-breaker conversions, service upgrades, rental-unit safety work and commercial electrical.

Choosing an Electrician in Oshawa
Need an electrician in Oshawa for an older panel or recurring circuit issue? Replacing a panel does not automatically resolve a fault elsewhere in the wiring.

EV Charger Installation in Oshawa
We install Level 2 EV chargers for Oshawa homes. We also install Level 3 / DC fast charging for commercial and fleet sites. Every install starts with an electrical load calculation on your existing service, so the charger is sized correctly. We then run a dedicated EV circuit, hardwired or NEMA 14-50, to where you park. If the service cannot carry the added load, we upgrade the panel and service in the same project. We handle the ESA permit and inspection.
Newer Taunton and Windfields homes are the easy case: attached garage, private driveway, 200A service, one dedicated Level 2 circuit. Central and older Oshawa is where planning matters — detached garages, laneway or shared parking, narrow driveways and 60A or 100A services frequently mean a buried feeder, a garage subpanel or a service upgrade before a charger can be installed. We run the load calculation on the actual service, tell you plainly which of those applies, and handle the ESA inspection. Employee and fleet charging is also available for Oshawa's industrial and institutional sites.
- Level 2 residential EV charger installation
- Level 3 / DC fast charging for commercial sites
- Electrical load calculations before installation
- Dedicated EV circuits, hardwired or NEMA 14-50
- Panel & service upgrades where capacity requires it

Outdoor & Landscape Lighting in Oshawa
Outdoor lighting is one of the specialties Oshawa homeowners call us for most. That includes:
- Architectural lighting on stonework and rooflines
- Garden and pathway lighting
- Tree and feature lighting
- Pool-area and patio lighting
- Motion and security lighting at entries and driveways
We run the outdoor electrical and set the transformers and controls. Then we aim and time the fixtures, so the property looks right after dark rather than merely lit.
Outdoor circuits, pool and hot tub bonding and exterior receptacles are installed to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code. ESA inspects the work where required. Controls can run on timers, photocells, astronomic scheduling or a Lutron system, so the whole property comes on together.
Lutron Lighting & Automation in Oshawa
We design, install and program Lutron HomeWorks, RadioRA 3 and RadioRA 2 systems in Oshawa. We do this in new builds and as retrofits in established homes. That work covers:

- Motorized shades, including Palladiom
- Occupancy and daylight sensing
- Scene programming and smart thermostats
- Voice-control integration
Advanced lighting control is a core part of our work, not an add-on. The system is commissioned properly and usable the day it is handed over.

Electrical Panel & Service Upgrade Experts in Oshawa
A service upgrade in Oshawa is more than a new panel. Our licensed electricians plan the work and apply for the required electrical permits. We coordinate the Oshawa Power disconnect and reconnection, complete the upgrade and arrange ESA inspection. Utility and ESA appointment times are set by them, not by us. We book them and keep you informed.
Our Oshawa work covers electrical panel upgrades and panel replacement, 100A service and 200A service installations, 100A to 200A service upgrades, fuse-to-breaker conversion, electrical load calculations, Hydro coordination and ESA inspection.
Oshawa has a high proportion of homes still running services and panels installed decades ago, so 60A and 100A to 200A upgrades and fuse-to-breaker conversions are among our most frequent jobs here. In older central neighbourhoods the work is a rebuild of the service entrance — mast, meter base, 200A panel, grounding and bonding — and often circuit remediation where existing wiring cannot support modern protection. Converted duplexes and rental properties raise separate questions about metering, separation and adequate capacity. In northern Oshawa's newer subdivisions the service is generally sufficient and the fix is a subpanel or panel change. We complete the load calculation, then coordinate the permit, the Oshawa Power disconnect and reconnect, and the ESA inspection.
One electrical contractor manages the process from Hydro coordination through ESA inspection.
