Electrical Service and Repair in Newcastle
Newcastle has two kinds of homes, and they need different things. In the older village streets near King Avenue, many houses have original wiring, small panels and too few outlets for how people live today. In the newer subdivisions, the work is often basement finishing, pot lights, EV chargers and hot tub hookups.
Most Newcastle homes get their power from Elexicon Energy, and some rural properties are on Hydro One. When a job needs the power shut off at the meter, like a panel upgrade, we book it with the utility and file the ESA permit, so you do not have to.
Newcastle is a short drive east of our Whitby office along the 401. Here is what we do for Newcastle homes and businesses:

Aluminum Wiring Repair and Replacement
Many Newcastle homes built in the mid 1960s to the mid 1970s have aluminum wiring. The risk is at the connections, where aluminum can loosen and overheat over time.
We can make those connections safe with pigtailing, or replace the wiring with copper. Both options come with an ESA inspection, and many insurers ask for that certificate.
Home Rewiring and Knob and Tube Replacement
Some older homes in Newcastle village still have knob and tube or cloth wiring. Many insurers will not cover it, and it was never built for modern loads.
We rewire rooms or whole homes with new copper wiring. We plan the work to limit wall repairs, file the permit and book the ESA inspection.
Electrical Inspections
Buying an older home, planning a renovation or just worried about your wiring? A licensed electrician can check your panel, wiring and outlets and tell you what needs work.
We give you a clear list of what is safe, what should be fixed and what can wait.
