Electrical Services in Burlington
The Fuse Group handles electrical repairs, renovations, panel upgrades, EV chargers and backup power for Burlington homes, along with commercial electrical work and facility maintenance. We are based in Guelph and serve Burlington as part of our service area.
Electrical work for Burlington homes
Halton Region's summary of the 2021 Census counted 186,948 people in Burlington, up 2% from 2016, at about 1,004 residents per square kilometre.
Our residential electrical services include panel upgrades, EV charger installations, pool and spa electrical, generator and backup power, troubleshooting and repairs, and knob and tube rewiring.
Renovating in Burlington
The City of Burlington issues building permits for construction, renovations and demolition, and its Do I Need a Building Permit page covers which projects need one. The electrical work in a renovation is handled separately, through an ESA notification of work filed by the Licensed Electrical Contractor. ESA notes that a building permit is not the same as an electrical notification and that you may need both.
If a renovation adds a kitchen, a basement suite or new equipment, check early whether the existing panel can carry it. Our panel and service upgrade page explains how that assessment and the upgrade process work.
Upgrades with Burlington Hydro
Burlington Hydro is the local electricity distributor. Its service request page says that when you upgrade, the licensed electrician coordinates with Burlington Hydro for any required disconnects, permits and ESA inspections, and that some reconnections require approval from ESA.
In practice, that means you deal with one contractor. We assess the service, file the ESA notification and work with Burlington Hydro on the disconnect and reconnection.
EV chargers and backup power
An EV charger or generator connection starts with what the panel and service can support. We assess the existing capacity before recommending a charger, load management or a service upgrade. See EV charger installation and generators and backup power.
Commercial properties and maintenance
For offices, retail units and multi-tenant buildings, our commercial electrical services cover lighting and controls, distribution, life safety systems and troubleshooting. Property managers who want planned visits rather than one-off calls can set up service and facility maintenance.
Questions from Burlington customers
Do you coordinate with Burlington Hydro, or do I have to?
We do. Burlington Hydro's own service request page says the licensed electrician coordinates the disconnects, permits and ESA inspections for an upgrade.
My renovation needs a building permit. Does that cover the electrical?
No. The City's building permit covers the construction. The electrical work needs its own ESA notification of work, which we file before starting. ESA notes you may need both.
Can I add an EV charger without upgrading my panel?
Sometimes. It depends on the existing service and what else runs at the same time. We assess the capacity first, then recommend a charger, load management or an upgrade.
Do you have an office in Burlington?
No. We are based in Guelph and travel to Burlington for work. Call 905 699 4931 or request a quote with your address.
