Superior Power Electric
Etobicoke's Trusted Electrician
Etobicoke sits west of downtown Toronto and stretches from the lakeshore in Long Branch and Mimico all the way north to Rexdale and Thistletown. The housing stock here covers a wide range - from 1920s cottages near the lake to 1960s bungalows in the central belt and large estate homes in The Kingsway and Humber Valley Village.
The central Etobicoke neighbourhoods - Islington, Richview, Princess Gardens, and Markland Wood - were built primarily in the 1950s and 1960s. These homes typically have 100-amp panels with copper wiring, though some built between 1965 and 1975 have aluminum branch wiring. After 50 to 60 years of service, these electrical systems need attention.
Along the lakeshore, Long Branch and New Toronto have an older housing stock dating back to the 1920s and 1930s. Some of these homes still have original wiring that predates modern code. Insurance companies are flagging these properties during policy renewals, making electrical upgrades a priority rather than a luxury.
The Kingsway and Humber Valley Village are Etobicoke's premium neighbourhoods with larger homes that demand more from their electrical systems. Hot tub wiring, landscape lighting, home automation, and EV charger installations are common requests from these homeowners.
From our Brampton base, we reach most Etobicoke locations within 50 minutes. We schedule Etobicoke jobs alongside our western Toronto calls to keep response times tight and avoid wasted travel.

Common Electrical Issues
in Etobicoke
Aging Panels in Postwar Homes
Central Etobicoke's 1950s and 1960s homes have panels that are 50 to 60 years old. These 100-amp panels were adequate for the appliances of their era but cannot handle today's loads - air conditioning, home offices, EV chargers, and modern kitchens all demand more than the original system was designed to deliver.
Learn MoreAluminum Wiring in Mid-Century Homes
Etobicoke homes built between 1965 and 1975, particularly in Islington and Princess Gardens, may have aluminum branch wiring. The connections at outlets and switches are the main concern, as aluminum expands and contracts more than copper. Insurance companies flag this during policy renewals.
Learn MoreLakeshore Heritage Home Wiring
Long Branch and New Toronto have homes dating back to the 1920s with wiring that predates modern electrical codes. These properties need full rewiring but the work must be done carefully to preserve the character of these older homes.
Learn MoreCondo EV Charging Infrastructure
Etobicoke's waterfront condo towers in Humber Bay and Mimico face growing demand for EV charging. Building electrical rooms were not sized for dozens of Level 2 chargers, requiring load management solutions and careful planning with condo corporations.

Emergency Electrician
Electrical emergencies in Etobicoke get a fast, 24/7 response. Islington, Richview, and Markland Wood homes from the 1950s and 1960s are especially prone to electrical failures given their age. We handle sparking panels, dead outlets, burning smells, and complete outages throughout Etobicoke.
Book This ServiceElectrical Panel Upgrades
Etobicoke's 1950s and 1960s homes in Islington, Richview, and Markland Wood are the primary source of panel upgrade work. Most have 100-amp panels that cannot handle modern loads. We upgrade to 200-amp breaker panels with full ESA permitting, typically completed in one day.
Book This ServicePot Light Installation
Etobicoke's bungalows and split-levels are ideal candidates for pot light retrofits. The lower ceilings benefit from slim LED fixtures that sit flush. We typically install 12 to 16 lights across the main floor, transforming the look and feel of these homes.
Book This ServiceAluminum Wiring and Rewiring
Aluminum wiring remediation and full rewiring are common in Etobicoke's mid-century homes. We inspect every connection point, install approved connectors, or complete a full copper rewire depending on the condition and insurance requirements.

Electrical History
Understanding your home's era helps us diagnose issues faster and recommend the right solutions.
Lakeshore Cottages
1920s - 1940sLong Branch and New Toronto started as summer cottage communities before becoming year-round neighbourhoods. Many of these homes still have original wiring from the pre-code era. The small lot sizes and older construction make rewiring projects more complex.
- Full rewiring from pre-code wiring to NMD90 copper
- Fuse box to 200-amp panel upgrade
- Grounding and bonding installation
- GFCI protection for kitchens, bathrooms, and exterior outlets
Postwar Bungalows and Split-Levels
1950s - 1970sThe bulk of Etobicoke's housing stock was built in this era. Islington, Richview, Princess Gardens, and Markland Wood are filled with brick bungalows and split-levels that have 100-amp panels and copper wiring, with aluminum branch wiring in homes built after 1965.
- Panel upgrade from 100-amp to 200-amp
- Aluminum wiring inspection and remediation
- Pot light installation replacing flush-mount fixtures
- Dedicated circuits for modern kitchens and home offices
Premium Estate Homes
1940s - 1970sThe Kingsway and Humber Valley Village feature larger homes on generous lots. While these homes were built to a higher standard, their electrical systems are now 50 to 80 years old. Homeowners here are investing in smart home upgrades, landscape lighting, and EV charger installations.
- Smart home wiring and automation systems
- Landscape and exterior lighting design
- EV charger installation with dedicated circuits
- Hot tub and pool pump wiring
