Electrical Services in Scarborough
Tron provides electrical services for homes, condos, commercial properties and other buildings throughout Scarborough. 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.
Scarborough's housing is largely post-war through 1980s, with big variation between the Bluffs, Guildwood, Agincourt and Malvern. Most of what we do here is capacity and safety work: 100A to 200A service upgrades, fuse box conversions, basement suite wiring and EV charging, alongside pot lighting and security cameras. Toronto Hydro serves the area and handles the utility side of service upgrades.
Scarborough is large and its housing spans roughly seventy years, which makes the electrical work here unusually varied. Birch Cliff, Cliffside and the Bluffs area hold older detached homes and bungalows, many with original 60A or 100A services and dated wiring, alongside frequent rebuilds. Agincourt, Wexford, Bendale and Woburn are postwar and 1960s-to-1970s detached and semi-detached housing where basement suites and second units are common. Guildwood and the Highland Creek area include larger homes on mature lots. Along Kennedy, Sheppard, Eglinton and McCowan there are apartment and condo towers, and Scarborough has substantial industrial areas around Progress, Markham Road and Warden. Our work covers service upgrades, second-suite wiring, troubleshooting on older circuits, EV chargers and commercial and industrial electrical.

Choosing an Electrician in Scarborough
For an electrician in Scarborough, a circuit fault and a renovation request need different starting information. Describe what has stopped working or list the equipment you plan to add.
If a breaker keeps tripping, mention the rooms and appliances affected. Those details help focus troubleshooting on the actual problem.

EV Charger Installation in Scarborough
We install Level 2 EV chargers for Scarborough 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.
Most Scarborough detached and semi-detached homes have a private driveway, and many have a garage or carport, so routing is generally workable. The recurring constraint is service capacity, because so many of these homes already carry central air and a second suite — which makes the load calculation the deciding step between a straightforward install, load management, or a service upgrade first. Detached garages at the back of the lot need a buried feeder and often a subpanel. For the apartment and condo corridors on Kennedy, Sheppard and Eglinton, charging is a building-level project with metering and load management.

Outdoor & Landscape Lighting in Scarborough
Outdoor lighting is one of the specialties Scarborough 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 Scarborough
We design, install and program Lutron HomeWorks, RadioRA 3 and RadioRA 2 systems in Scarborough. We do this in new builds and as retrofits in established homes. That work covers:
- Keypad layout, LED dimming and load compatibility
- 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.

These are service calls on the electrical system itself: wiring, circuits, panels, devices and lighting. Not sure if a job is too small? Call us. Scarborough service calls are booked the same way as our larger projects.

How It Works
Talk to a licensed electrician
Tell us what you want to add or change in your Scarborough home. We ask the questions that determine whether your existing service can carry it.
On-site assessment and written scope

Installation, permits and ESA inspection
We complete the work and handle the required electrical permits, Toronto Hydro coordination and ESA inspection where they apply.
Electrical Panel & Service Upgrade Experts in Scarborough
A service upgrade in Scarborough is more than a new panel. Our licensed electricians plan the work and apply for the required electrical permits. We coordinate the Toronto Hydro 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 Scarborough 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.
Two things drive panel work in Scarborough: age and second units. A large share of homes here still run 100A services — some 60A in the oldest pockets near the Bluffs — with original panels and aging service entrances. Add a second kitchen, laundry, central air and an EV charger, which is a very common combination in Agincourt, Bendale and Woburn, and the calculated load exceeds the service. Those jobs are a full 100A to 200A upgrade with a rebuilt entrance, grounding and bonding, and sometimes a fuse-to-breaker conversion. In newer infill and rebuilt homes the fix is more often a subpanel. We run the load calculation, then handle the permit, the Toronto Hydro disconnect and reconnect and the ESA inspection.
One electrical contractor manages the process from Hydro coordination through ESA inspection.
