Electrical Work for Basement Finishing in Ottawa
A finished basement needs an electrical plan based on room use and the access that will remain. Renovation1 coordinates construction and close-up; an ESA Licensed Electrical Contractor assesses and performs the electrical work.

Common questions
Plan the electrical work first. Confirm required inspections and access with the LEC before covering wiring or closing assemblies.
A proposed secondary unit requires its own building and electrical assessment. Do not treat ordinary basement finishing as confirmation that the suite layout or systems meet its requirements.
