Know what your panel can take before anyone quotes you.
Tell the Panel Passport your home's age and panel size, then switch on the upgrades you're thinking about. Watch the load climb, see sample "from" prices, then let us check it properly on site.

Knob-and-tube replacement
Old porcelain-and-cloth wiring found in many pre-1950 homes. We map what's live, then rewire room by room.
Many insurers ask about knob-and-tube. You get a written letter of completion to send them.

Aluminum wiring remediation
Common in homes built in the late 1960s and 70s. The risk is at the connections, so we fit approved connectors at each device, or rewire where that makes more sense.
Please don't try this yourself. Ordinary connectors can make it worse.

ESA permits, explained
We take out the permit. You get the certificate.
In Ontario, the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) oversees electrical work in homes. Here's how a permit works when Cedarline does the job.
- STEP 1
Quote
The permit fee is a line on your written quote, never a surprise.
- STEP 2
We file it
As the licensed contractor, we file the permit with ESA before work starts.
- STEP 3
The work
Done to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code.
- STEP 4
Inspection
ESA may inspect in person or review the job. We arrange it and attend.
- STEP 5
Certificate
You get the Certificate of Acceptance. Keep it for your insurer and for resale.
A good rule: if a contractor asks you to take out the permit in your own name, ask why. The licensed contractor doing the work should normally file it.

If something's wrong right now
Safety first, then call us
General advice only. If anyone is in danger, call 911.
Burning smell, sparks or a hot panel
Don't touch the panel or anything hot. If there's smoke or fire, get everyone out and call 911. Then call us.
A line down outside
Stay well back, at least 10 metres, and keep others away. Call 911 and your local utility. Never go near it.
The whole street is dark
That's usually a utility outage, not your panel. Check your utility's outage map before booking an electrician.
Questions
Straight answers
Is the Panel Passport a real load calculation?
No. It's a quick picture to help you plan. We do a proper load calculation on site before quoting any upgrade.
Do I need a 200A panel for an EV charger?
Not always. Many 100A homes can add one with a load manager that shares power with other big appliances.
My insurer asked about knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring. What now?
Book an inspection. You get what's there and the options in writing, for your insurer.
Are there rebates for heat pumps or EV chargers?
Sometimes. Programs change, so we check what's current when we quote. We never promise a rebate we can't confirm.
