In Ontario, licensed electrical contractors are required to have an Electrical Contractor Registration Agency (ECRA) license, administered by the Electrical Safety Authority. Confirming a contractor\’s license is one of the most important due diligence steps before hiring. Here is what to look for, from the licensed electricians at EZSMART, serving Toronto and the GTA.
Every legitimate electrical contractor in Ontario has an ECRA/ESA license number. This confirms they are authorized to perform electrical work legally in the province, and it is required to obtain permits. The license number should be displayed on business materials, quotes, invoices, and often the contractor\’s vehicles and website.
EZSMART\’s license is ECRA/ESA #7012690, which can be verified through the Electrical Safety Authority.
The Electrical Safety Authority maintains a public registry of licensed contractors. You can:
Beyond legal compliance, hiring a licensed contractor means the work is properly permitted, inspected, and documented. This protects your insurance, your home\’s resale value, and your family\’s safety. Unlicensed work carries all of the risks of unpermitted work, and often more.
Is every person doing electrical work required to be individually licensed?
The electrical contractor company must be licensed. Individual workers must be certified electricians or apprentices working under a licensed master electrician.
How do I verify a contractor\’s license status?
The ESA maintains a searchable public directory of licensed contractors.
Are contractors from other provinces licensed in Ontario?
Not automatically. Ontario has its own licensing requirements that must be met specifically.
