From lighting upgrades to electrical troubleshooting, our handyman electricians handle the small jobs that keep your home bright, safe, and functional. Whether it’s installing modern fixtures, replacing switches, or fixing a flicker, every task is done neatly, to code, and with lasting results.

Pricing & What Affects the Cost
Small electrical jobs are usually straightforward. Like-for-like fixture swaps are most affordable; costs go up with high ceilings, heavy chandeliers, new box placement, or old wiring and non-rated boxes that need upgrades.
Typical price drivers:
- Fixture & access: Height (ladders), weight/support, vaulted ceilings.
- Box & wiring: Fan-rated boxes, neutral availability, aluminum knob-and-tube/older wiring.
- Controls: Dimmers/smart switches, multi-location (3-way/4-way) wiring.
- Finish items: Patching/painting old box holes or mis-sized canopy marks.

Scope, Safety & Compliance (Read This Part)
We focus on minor installations and small repairs—fixtures, fans, switches, dimmers, and outlets. For work that requires new circuits, panel changes, aluminum rewiring, EV chargers, major rewires, or permitted service upgrades, we’ll advise and, if required by local rules, involve or refer a licensed electrician. If we uncover issues (non-rated fan boxes, missing grounds, brittle conductors), we’ll pause, explain options, and update the quote. Safety first—no shortcuts.
Boxes, Loads & Placement (Why It Matters)
Fans and heavy fixtures must be supported by a rated electrical box anchored correctly. Dimmers and smart switches need compatible LED loads to avoid flicker. For recessed lighting, we match IC/air-tight cans to insulation and plan spacing for even light. In bathrooms and kitchens, we respect GFCI requirements and moisture zones. The result: a safe install that looks right and performs as expected.
Our Process
- Step 1 – Consultation & Estimate: Confirm fixture specs, height, box rating, and wiring; provide a clear price.
- Step 2 – Safe Prep: Power off, verify with a tester, prep the box, and set mounting hardware.
- Step 3 – Install & Test: Proper terminations, grounding, torque, and function checks (including dimming).
- Step 4 – Finish: Centering/leveling, neat canopies/plates, cleanup, and basic demo of controls.
Mini Case Study
A homeowner wanted four recessed lights and a dimmed pendant over an island. We mapped joists, used IC/air-tight housings, added a compatible LED dimmer, and centered the pendant to the island. The kitchen is brighter with no shadows, and the dimmer gives perfect evening levels.
Benefits
- Safer installs that meet modern standards
- Cleaner look with centered fixtures and matching trims/plates
- Less flicker and hum with compatible dimmers and LED loads
- Time saved vs. DIY—and help choosing the right parts

FAQs
How much does a small electrical job cost?
Like-for-like fixture swaps are simplest; height, box upgrades, or added controls increase time. You’ll get a written quote up front.
Can you install a ceiling fan where a light was?
Yes—if the box is fan-rated. If not, we’ll upgrade the box and support before installing.
Do I need existing wiring for new lights?
Sometimes. New locations may require additional wiring and, in some cases, permits or a licensed electrician. We’ll advise on the safest route.
Do you install exterior/security lights?
Yes—weather-rated fixtures and sealed connections suitable for Canadian conditions.
Will you patch/paint if we move a light?
We can coordinate drywall repair and painting so everything looks finished.
