Lost Power to Half the House

Homeowners often call when one floor, one wing, or a group of rooms goes dark while other rooms—or the neighbours—still have lights. That pattern usually points to something on the customer side of the meter: a failed breaker, a loose connection, damage at the panel, or a fault on a branch circuit.

How we help: We arrive ready to diagnose the outage, isolate unsafe circuits, restore what can be restored safely, and explain the repair. When the work needs an ESA Notification, we take out the ESA permit and arrange the inspection. You are not left chasing paperwork after a stressful night.

For long outages that raise the backup-power question, that is a planning conversation once things are stable. When you are ready, see our Guide on planning a home generator install.

Warehouse and Commercial Lights Not Working or Flickering

Businesses call when bay lights, office circuits, or outdoor lighting fail or flicker during operating hours. Flickering across a bank of fixtures, whole zones dark, or lighting that drops out under load can stop work, affect safety on the floor, and frustrate tenants or staff.

How we help: Our commercial electricians troubleshoot lighting circuits, ballasts or drivers, contactors, panels, and related controls. We stabilize the affected area so your team can keep working where it is safe, then complete the repair properly. Residential, condo, and commercial—same 24/7 phone line: 289-814-7241.

Warehouse Equipment Not Working

When a conveyor, compressor, tool circuit, or dedicated machine feed goes down, production stops. Owners and facility managers often reach us after a breaker opens, a disconnect fails, or a circuit that previously held load suddenly will not.

How we help: We focus on the electrical supply to the equipment—breakers, feeders, disconnects, receptacles, and related wiring—so you can get the machine side of the conversation back with your equipment vendor if needed. We document what we find, make the circuit safe, and repair or replace what belongs to the electrical system. For permitted work, we handle the ESA permit and inspection arrangement.

After a House Fire: Make-Safe and Prep for Repairs

After a fire, homeowners, insurers, and restoration contractors often need an electrician before rebuilding can begin. Panels may be damaged, circuits compromised, or temporary power required so clean-up and reconstruction can proceed safely.

How we help: Electro Group provides electrical make-safe and prep work so repair crews can start. That can include isolating damaged circuits, assessing the panel and wiring that remain, coordinating temporary power where appropriate, and preparing the electrical system for the restoration path your insurer or builder is following. When repairs require it, we take out the ESA permit and arrange the inspection.

If flames or injury are involved, emergency services lead. We step in for the electrical make-safe once the property is released for our work.

Other Common Urgent Calls

People also call us when they notice:

• A burning smell from an outlet, switch, light, cord, or the panel
• Sparks, arcing, or buzzing at devices or at the panel
• A breaker that will not stay on or trips again as soon as it is reset
• Water near outlets, wiring, or the panel
• Heat, scorch marks, or melted plastic at devices or faceplates

How we help: We treat these as priority calls. Our crew assesses the affected area, shuts down what should not stay energized, and repairs or replaces the failing parts. We explain what we found in plain language and complete code-compliant work—including ESA permit and inspection when the job requires it.

You do not need to diagnose the fault before you phone. Tell us what you are seeing and smelling, the property type (house, condo, or commercial), and where you are in Toronto or the surrounding areas. We will take it from there.

Why Call a Licensed Electrical Contractor
