Why “licensed” matters in Markham
Hiring an unlicensed handyman for electrical work can void your home insurance, create fire and shock hazards behind finished walls, and complicate a future sale when an inspector flags non-permitted work. In Ontario, only a Licensed Electrical Contractor can legally pull ESA permits and deliver the Certificate of Inspection that protects your coverage and your resale value. EZSMART is fully licensed and insured, and you can confirm our credentials (ESA/ECRA #7012690) on the ESA public contractor lookup.
Electrical work built around Markham homes
Markham is really two markets, and we serve both:
Newer subdivisions like Cornell, Berczy Village, Cathedraltown, Greensborough, and Angus Glen. These homes are prime for EV charger installation (Markham has one of the highest EV adoption rates in the GTA), pot lights and lighting design during renovations, smart-home wiring, and dedicated circuits for hot tubs, A/C, and basement suites.
Established neighbourhoods like Unionville, Buttonville, Milliken, and German Mills. Many homes here were built in the 1970s and 1980s with 100-amp panels that trip under modern loads, and some carry aluminum branch wiring or, in older Unionville and heritage properties, knob and tube. These homes are candidates for panel upgrades, aluminum wiring remediation, and rewiring, often driven by an insurer’s request.
Services we provide across Markham
- EV charger installation – Level 2 home chargers including Tesla Wall Connector, fully permitted and inspected
- Electrical panel upgrades – 100-amp to 200-amp service upgrades and fuse-box-to-breaker conversions
- Knob and tube and aluminum wiring replacement – insurance-driven rewiring and remediation for older homes
- Pot lights and LED lighting – clean, plaster-friendly recessed lighting and dimmer setups
- Home rewiring and dedicated circuits – for renovations, additions, and high-demand appliances
- Electrical repairs and troubleshooting – flickering lights, tripping breakers, dead outlets, buzzing panels
- Backup generator installation – keep essentials running through outages
- Emergency electrical service – for urgent hazards like sparking outlets or burning smells
Whether it is a single outlet or a full-home upgrade, we handle the ESA permit and inspection from start to finish.

Frequently asked questions
How do I verify a licensed electrician in Markham? Ask for the contractor’s ESA/ECRA licence number and look it up on the Electrical Safety Authority’s public contractor tool. EZSMART’s number is #7012690. A licensed contractor can pull ESA permits and provide the Certificate of Inspection your insurer needs.
Do you actually serve my Markham neighbourhood? Yes. We work throughout Markham, from newer subdivisions like Cornell and Berczy Village to established areas like Unionville and Buttonville, plus the surrounding York Region.
Do you handle the ESA permit and inspection? Yes. For panel upgrades, new circuits, EV chargers, and rewiring, we file the ESA notification, coordinate the inspection, and hand you the certificate. DIY or unlicensed electrical work is illegal and can void insurance.
My 1980s Markham home has a 100-amp panel. Is that a problem? It may be fine for a basic household, but it is often near capacity. If you are adding an EV charger, central A/C, new kitchen appliances, or finishing a basement, a 200-amp upgrade is usually the right call. We offer honest assessments before recommending anything.
Can you install an EV charger in my Markham home? Absolutely. Level 2 chargers are one of our most requested Markham services. We assess your panel, run the dedicated circuit, and handle the permit and inspection.
Are you insured? Yes, EZSMART is fully licensed and insured, and all work is completed to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code.
