How much does electrical cost in Toronto?
Most Canadian homeowners pay $150-$400 for a common electrical job - installing an outlet, switch, or light fixture, or a small repair - including the service-call charge. Electricians bill roughly $80-$150 an hour with a $150-$300 minimum. Bigger projects cost far more: a 200A panel upgrade typically runs $2,500-$4,500 and a whole-home rewire $15,000-$30,000.
In Toronto, ON, typical quotes tend to come in above the Canadian average, so the table below nudges these national figures up by roughly 15% at the low end of each range and up to 30% at the top end.
What moves the price: The low end covers small jobs on existing wiring like swapping an outlet, switch or light fixture; the top end is dedicated circuits, a panel upgrade or a whole-home rewire.
| Project | Typical cost in Toronto |
|---|---|
| Service call / minimum visit (diagnosis or small repair, first hour + trip) | $180-$300 $110 to $525 per visit |
| Install or replace an outlet or switch (existing wiring in place) | $250-$300 $170 to $525 per unit |
| Install a light fixture or ceiling fan (existing box and wiring) | $180-$425 $110 to $775 per unit |
| Add a dedicated circuit or small subpanel (appliance, hot tub, workshop) | $725-$1,500 $350 to $2,600 per circuit / subpanel |
| Level 2 home EV charger installation (unit + labour + permit, before rebates) | $2,000-$3,700 $1,200 to $5,000 per project |
| Upgrade to a 200A electrical panel (panel, breakers, labour, permit, inspection) | $3,100-$5,500 $2,300 to $10,500 per project |
| Whole-home rewire / knob-and-tube or aluminum replacement | $18,500-$37,000 $9,000 to $65,000 per project (roughly $8-$22 per sq ft) |
What changes the price of electrical in Toronto
- Panel capacity and condition. If your panel is full or maxed out, you may need a subpanel or a 200A upgrade before adding a big load like an EV charger or hot tub, which adds roughly $2,000-$4,000.
- Labour rate, licence level, and timing. Master electricians and permit-required work cost more per hour, and emergency or after-hours calls carry a premium on top of the standard $80-$150/hr.
- Permits and inspection. Non-trivial work needs a permit and inspection (ESA in Ontario, provincial equivalents elsewhere), typically $250-$500 on larger jobs, plus utility disconnect/reconnect coordination on panel upgrades.
- Home age and access. Knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, plaster walls, finished basements, and hard-to-reach runs all raise the hours needed and can trigger extra safety upgrades.
- Materials and fixture choice. Smart panels, premium EV chargers, high-end fixtures, and copper wire price swings all move the final total.
- Whether wiring already exists or new wire must be run. Swapping a device in an existing box is quick and cheap; fishing new cable through finished walls, long runs, or opening and patching drywall adds hours of labour.
How electrical prices vary across Canada
Toronto and Vancouver run at the top of every range. Metro hourly rates ($95-$140+) sit roughly 15-30% above smaller-city and rural rates, and fixed-price jobs like panel upgrades and EV chargers land near or above the national high end. One BC-specific quirk: when the utility or meter base is involved, 200A panel upgrades in BC can reach $8,000.

Do I need a 200A panel to install an EV charger?
Not always. Many homes with a 100A panel can add a Level 2 charger using load management to share existing capacity. But if your panel is full or already near its limit, budget an extra $2,000-$4,000 for a 200A upgrade on top of the charger install.
Do I need a permit for electrical work?
Yes for most work beyond swapping a fixture or outlet, including new circuits, panel upgrades, EV chargers, and rewires. In Ontario that means an ESA permit and inspection; other provinces have their own. A licensed electrician pulls the permit for you and usually builds it into the quote.
Is it worth replacing knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring?
Often yes, both for safety and because many insurers will surcharge or refuse to cover homes that still have it. A full rewire runs roughly $12,000-$35,000 depending on size and access, but it can be staged room-by-room to spread the cost over time.
