Licensing & insurance in Ontario
Electricians and electrical contractors in Ontario must be licensed by the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) and hold an ECRA/ESA license number for the contracting business. All electrical work over a defined scope requires an ESA permit, which the licensed contractor pulls on your behalf.
WiseTrades validates every approved pro's identity, insurance, and trade certificate directly with the issuer before any job quote becomes possible. Hiring outside the platform? Demand proof of liability cover and a current trade certificate before tools come out — anything less puts your home insurance position at risk.
Before you book a electrician across Aurora, ON
