Before hiring anyone to do electrical work in your home or business, you should know it is against the law to have non-licensed people working on electrical systems for the safety of the occupants and building. For all licensed electrical contractors in Ontario check out their license info. It has been multiple years we have been a part of this site read more...

If you are reading this review, you have found the electrician you should be working with. Rob sets the example for every trade and every electrician. He is professional, efficient, easy-going, creative and executes his work with exceptional quality.
We engaged Rob after discovering that we had unlicensed work completed on our property. It was really important to us that we knew specifically who would be doing the work on our property. Rob is so well-known in the community not only did he provide exceptional references, one of the other electrical companies that bid on our project even confirmed that Rob is a great electrician and that we were in good hands. They were right!
Rob was able to guide us through the deficiencies and help us understand how we could come up to code. Often times Rob would come up with multiple options of how we could fix specific problems where access wasn’t always as readily available for the electrical work and he always tried to work with us to come up with the most efficient option. He was extremely patient & knowledgeable when explaining to us all the options and the nuances of the electrical code.
Once we confirmed to go ahead, Rob was able to schedule panel changeout with our local hydro company very quickly and was flexible to help squeeze us in for urgent work even when he had other jobs on the go.
Rob was also genuinely kind, caring and patient with us. We had to schedule work from other trades to facilitate Rob’s efforts (which sometimes took a couple of months) and Rob did so without any complaints. Rob always had a smile on his face and would cater to our needs. He answered all our questions and helped us understand. He was organized and so pleasant to deal with.
After so much time together, Rob feels like more of a friend than just a tradesperson who worked on our house.
Thank you so much Rob for all your help. We are so grateful.
Alan, after all the headaches you had from the original non-licensed electrical person causing so much grief and distrust, I thought it was important to restore your faith in tradesmen by using legitimate licensed electrical contractors and to verifying their documents prior to allowing them near any electrical projects. This guy should be ashamed of himself putting you in such a position of needing to repair his non-compliant work to ensure the safety of your family.
It is reasons like yours I love my job and want to help customers providing many solutions to fit most situations. Master Electrician and CEO, Robert McKinnon
Exceptional customer service beyond the reliable workmanship. Fast responses to questions, great conversation to ensure costs and benefits are considered. Learnt a lot as a client through this experience.
Thank you for clearing out the spaces I required to get that new EV charger outlet ready for you!
Robert McKinnon from ElecTriLight is fantastic! He is friendly, reliable, and extremely knowledgeable. He paid a visit to my office to review the work required - and to take a look at all of the fixtures and components I had ordered. He provided a quote for labour the next day. On installation day, Robert showed up on time and stayed on budget. He put a lot of thought into the layout of the track lighting was being installed, and made numerous recommendations regarding light fixture installation heights and switching. Robert is a Master Electrician and as such you can be assured that everything is done safely and to code. Highly recommend!!!
Open ceilings in commercial layouts are sometimes tricky with ceiling space and obstacles, but we achieved the layout you desired. Pleasure working for you.
Very happy! We had some general work to be done on our 2nd floor - new pot lights, outlets and mini-split ductless heater and took the opportunity to also add new circuits and heater to my garage workshop, along with an EV outlet. Robert scoped the job and suggested a different approach to our plan which saved $ and is more effective. Robert is very professional and does excellent work. This is the third time we have had him at our place. I have also recommended him to our friends and neighbours.
sometimes working for such great customers who are willing to work on solutions is a win win for both sides, simple solutions to complex problems is important. Thank you for the great review.
Robert is extremely professional and truly wants to do a great job. His communication was excellent, stuck to his timeline for installation and was professional from start to finish. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone!
Thank you Kim. I am pleased that you are happy and your family can return to well lit rooms! Thank you for the review.
Rob did a great job. He was very thorough in his explanation of what needed to be done. He showed up on time and did the work. I am very satisfied with the job he did.
I appreciate your time to leave the review. A pleasure to help you with the electrical installation.
We hired Electrilight to install additional circuits and outlets in a finished basement room. Robert the owner was very professional and responsive in quoting and scheduling a date to complete the work. It was necessary to cut through drywall in multiple places which was done very neatly, making it easy for us to replace and repair the drywall. Robert was able to quickly arrange an inspection and the job site was clean and orderly when he left Would certainly recommend this company and use them again.
It was a pleasure helping to complete your electrical upgrades for power in a pre-finished wall, not always easy to accomplish but planning makes outcomes possible. Thank you for your time to comment.

Robert and I have worked on many projects together over the years. His philosophy is the same as mine, if it is done right the first time you should never see us again about failures or shortcomings on that particular job. If your going to be a bear, it is best to be a grizzly bear. No half-assed, half-hearted attempts in any of Roberts jobs. Robert may not be the cheapest guy on the block, but then again you are not paying for the cheapest guy on the block. I truly believe that any project Robert takes on for his clients will be done not only to the best his ability, but will be done to ensure the safety of those he does work for. Roberts customers will not find him working on any project that he is not 100% sure of. The end result of using Robert at Electrilight Ltd. for all your wiring/cabling projects will always be at the very minimum up electrical code and above Canada's safety standards. No short-cuts, No cheap-outs on materials, No cutting corners to save himself a few dollars. Roberts first priority will always be to ensure that every electrical project he does is done correctly, because, there are few second chances once an electrical fire starts.
Electrical wiring for basement renovations must be completed only by a licensed electrical contractor. we walk through the entire process and address what you require plus add what must be there to meet code
All new wiring for commercial buildings, renovations, new equipment connections, relocations. New lighting, power upgrades, panel changes, service entrances.
Everything electrical, we supply it, install it, make it safe and guarantee it. We are not wholesale though.
Older electrical systems should be checked and repaired for peace of mind. If you have aluminum wiring it is definitely time to review all connections. If you see flickering lights or snapping switches or outlets, the danger could already be started.
Electrical full home inspection with or without ESA final inspection. 2-6 hour inspections will tell you what is good, what is bad, and what your home (selling or buying) is all about and what condition it is in.
Outdoor hot tubs must have a LEC (licensed electrical contractor) install the wiring for these and we provide the ESA inspection as well, the only thing we don't do is supply the tub and dig trenches.
We provide wiring for all home theatre, we don't provide the equipment (screens, TV, PVR, etc). we can, but recommend you see a local shop for those and best sale prices.
Century homes, knob and tube, and aluminum wiring needs attention for any home restoration. after floods, wiring and devices must be inspected and possibly replaced.
All kitchen renos will require an electrical permit and some relocations. Appliance garages are illegal to install unless done by a licensed electrical contractor.
In-floor electric heating installed to code and with ESA permit, we don't lay the floor tiles, but we pre-wire for the feed and conduits to power it.
Basic data wiring needs from Cat 5 and Cat 6 systems to get your home or building networked together. Residential, Commercial and Industrial installations.
From renovated, updated or new, we install what must be done to meet codes and safety. DIY wiring is all too often found and more than often hazardous.
Designing electrical systems that are safe and will allow for future expansion. We pride ourselves in quality of materials and workmanship.
We provide new installation of wired alarm systems, from motions, to panels, to wireless modules. We do not offer monitoring.
Full electrical services with ESA permits and inspections, which are mandatory/ 2 year warranty on all electrical we install.
All new additions require electrical as per code and heating. don't allow the GC to do your wiring.
