Each has a code-driven answer and an insurance-ready paper trail. ### Original 60A Fuse Box in an Agincourt Bungalow Wexford and Agincourt 1950s bungalows still run on screw-in fuse boxes that can't carry a modern household. Fuse-box-to-breaker conversion with a 200A service swap, ESA permit, and Toronto Hydro reconnect is our most common Scarborough call.

Dedicated circuits, AFCI protection, interconnected smoke and CO alarms, and ESA rough-in plus final inspection all bundled with your City of Toronto building permit. [Adding an In-Law Suite Below Grade →](/basement-electrical/) ### Federal Pacific Stab-Lok from the 1960s and 70s Cliffside and Birch Cliff post-war homes still carry Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panels. Insurers flag them on renewal. We replace the panel, file the ESA permit, and provide the Certificate of Acceptance documentation insurers want to see.

Scarborough Local Expertise ## Local Know-How From Agincourt to the Bluffs **Toronto Electrical Contractor** is an ESA-licensed electrical contractor providing residential electrician and small commercial electrical services across Scarborough, the former borough that forms Toronto's east end. Scarborough's bungalow belt across **Agincourt**, **Wexford**, and **Bendale** was built mostly in the 1950s, and many of those homes still run on original 60A screw-in fuse boxes, so fuse-box-to-breaker conversions make up a bigger share of our Scarborough work than anywhere else in the GTA. Every truck headed east carries common 200A replacement panels, and 1960s and 70s homes in **Cliffside**, **Birch Cliff**, and **Guildwood** add Federal Pacific Stab-Lok replacements and aluminum wiring replacement to the list. Searching for an electrician near you in Scarborough? Our crews route via **Highway 401**, **Kingston Road**, and **Lawrence Avenue East** to reach detached bungalows, side-splits, semi-detached homes, townhouses, and condo units from **Scarborough Village** and Guildwood to **Malvern** and **Rouge Park**, with 24/7 emergency arrival in under 60 minutes. **Toronto Hydro** handles the service disconnect and meter reconnect on every Scarborough panel upgrade. We book that utility appointment for you, swap the panel the same day, and file every permit with the **Electrical Safety Authority** (ESA) under our Licensed Electrical Contractor (LEC) number. Newer subdivisions around Rouge Park and **Morningside Heights** usually have 200A service already in place, so a Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, or Grizzl-E charger goes in on a dedicated 240V circuit without a panel upgrade. Toronto Electrical Contractor also wires legal basement apartments and in-law suites for multi-generational households in Bendale and Malvern, and takes on commercial electrician work such as lighting upgrades and tenant improvements for plazas along **Sheppard Avenue East** and around **Scarborough Town Centre**. Every residential project starts with a free estimate, with 2026 flat rates of $1,800-$3,500 for a 100A-to-200A upgrade and $800-$1,500 for a Level 2 EV charger install. ### Landmarks & Surrounding Area - Scarborough Town Centre - Scarborough General Hospital - Toronto Zoo - Scarborough Bluffs Park - Agincourt Mall ### Access Routes Accessible via Highway 401 and Kingston Road, with GO Transit connections at Agincourt and McCowan stations. ### Areas We Serve in Scarborough - ✓ Agincourt - ✓ Wexford - ✓ Cliffside - ✓ Birch Cliff - ✓ Rouge Park - ✓ Bendale - ✓ Guildwood - ✓ Malvern ![Typical Scarborough housing stock and electrical environment](/images/locations/location-scarborough-local.webp) Customer Reviews ## Reviews From Wexford, Bendale and Rouge Park Homeowners Recent Scarborough jobs across the neighbourhoods we cover most often. Average **4.9/5** across our GTA work. > "1956 Wexford bungalow with the original screw-in fuse box. The team converted us to a 200A breaker panel, coordinated Toronto Hydro for the cut and reconnect, and had us back online by 4pm. ESA inspector signed off the next week. Insurance threat resolved." Hannah O. Wexford, Scarborough > "Built a legal basement apartment in our Bendale home for my parents. They handled the rough-in, the AFCI receptacles, the interconnected alarms, and the sub-panel. ESA inspections passed first time and the City of Toronto secondary-suite paperwork was straightforward." Vikram P. Bendale, Scarborough > "Tesla Model Y charger install in a 2002-built Rouge Park home. Quoted me a flat rate, confirmed our existing 200A panel had room, ran the wire to the garage, and pulled the ESA permit. No upsell on a panel upgrade I didn't need." Marcia B. Rouge Park, Scarborough Scarborough FAQ ## Scarborough Electrician FAQs ### How fast can an emergency electrician reach my Scarborough home? + Emergency electrical response runs 24/7 across Scarborough, including Agincourt, Wexford, Bendale, Cliffside, Birch Cliff, and Malvern, with arrival in under 60 minutes via Highway 401 and Kingston Road. There is no call-out fee during business hours; after-hours emergency calls carry a $150 dispatch fee plus labour. ### How much does it cost to replace a fuse box with a breaker panel in Scarborough? + A fuse-box-to-breaker conversion with a 100A-to-200A service upgrade runs $1,800-$3,500 in 2026, including the ESA permit, inspection, and the Toronto Hydro disconnect and reconnect. Most Scarborough bungalow conversions are completed in a single day, and the flat rate is set after a free estimate. ### What does an electrician charge per hour or per day in Scarborough? + We quote flat rates per project instead of hourly or day rates, so the price is fixed before work starts. Typical ranges are $150-$300 for a ceiling fan installation, $250-$450 for an electrical safety inspection, $800-$1,500 for a Level 2 EV charger, and $1,800-$3,500 for a panel upgrade, with ESA permit fees included. ### Can I install an EV charger in a Rouge Park home without a panel upgrade? + Usually, yes. Most Rouge Park and Morningside Heights homes built after 1990 already have 200A service, so we run a dedicated 240V circuit, install a Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, or Grizzl-E unit, and pull the ESA permit in one visit. Older Malvern and Agincourt homes on 100A service are checked first, and if an upgrade is needed both scopes are completed the same day. ### What are the most common wiring problems in Scarborough's post-war homes? + Original 60A fuse panels in 1950s Agincourt and Wexford bungalows are the most common issue, since they cannot support an EV charger, heat pump, or basement suite. Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panels in 1960s and 70s Cliffside and Birch Cliff homes come next, followed by aluminum branch-circuit wiring, which we remediate with ESA-approved pigtailing or full aluminum wiring replacement for insurance compliance. ### Are your Scarborough electricians licensed by the Electrical Safety Authority? + Yes. Toronto Electrical Contractor is an ESA-licensed electrical contractor, and every permitted job in Scarborough, from Guildwood to Agincourt, is filed with the Electrical Safety Authority under our Licensed Electrical Contractor (LEC) number. All work follows the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, and the ESA Certificate of Acceptance is included in the flat-rate quote.
