Frequently asked questions

Do electricians in Ontario need a permit?
Most electrical work in Ontario requires a permit pulled by the licensed contractor. Your electrician handles this, but the cost is usually passed through. Always confirm the permit was filed before final payment.
Can I hire an electrician for small fixes in Markham, ON?
Absolutely. Many electricians on WiseTrades take small jobs in Markham, ON — replacing outlets, installing dimmers, troubleshooting tripping breakers — usually with a 1-hour minimum callout charge.
Is the electrician I hire covered by Tarion?
Tarion covers new-home builders licensed in Ontario, not retrofit trades on an existing home. For renovations, your protection comes from contractor-side WSIB clearance, CGL insurance, and the workmanship warranty written into the quote — all of which electricians on WiseTrades publish on their profiles.
Do Markham heritage districts limit material choices?
Yes — Unionville's heritage main strip and Buttonville's older village core carry heritage controls covering windows, cladding, and roofing styles. Markham trades approved on WiseTrades regularly substitute heritage-compliant materials and handle heritage-permit applications.
