Both figures sit before tax. Home Generator Index's electricians cost guide carries every line item with the source it came from.

How do I choose a electrical contractor in the GTA?

Home Generator Index lists 369 electrical contractors at an average 4.81★ Google rating, the middle company sitting on 29 reviews. Take three from the shortlist above and get the scope written down. What to check before anyone opens a panel, including the ECRA/ESA licence number and who owns the gas half of the job, is set out on the methodology page.

Is there a season for electrical work in Toronto?

No. This is year-round work, and the thing that moves lead times is a regional outage rather than the calendar. After a storm takes power out across the GTA, the phones do not stop for weeks and the better companies are the first to stop taking new jobs. There is a second queue behind the contractor's own: inspections, and where a service has to be upsized, the utility. Ask which of those steps sit inside the timeline you were given.

Will a contractor's cheque move it up this page?

No, and no business has an account here to pay through. The order comes from the Home Generator Index Score out of 100, built from what customers said, what the company states on its own website and how much is on its record. With 78% of the rated electrical contractors at 4.8★ or better, the positions are decided in narrow margins, so read past the first row. The methodology page sets out every input.

Does an electrician in the Greater Toronto Area need a special licence for generator work?

Any company doing electrical work in Ontario has to be an ECRA/ESA licensed electrical contractor, and the licence number should be on the quote. Verify it yourself on esasafe.com; it takes a minute and it is the single most useful check a homeowner can make. The gas side is a different regime: natural gas and propane connections fall under the TSSA and need a certified gas fitter, who is often a different company entirely.

Where can a generator sit on a property in the Greater Toronto Area?

The manufacturer sets minimum clearances from the house, from windows and doors, and from anything that can catch heat. On top of that, your municipality has zoning setbacks from the lot line and a noise bylaw, and a unit that self tests every week is a noise your neighbours will hear on a schedule. The practical answer is usually a side or rear location with a clear exhaust path. Have the installer confirm the exact spot before any pad is poured.
