ECRA/ESA Licence #7018249
City Brite Electric Inc. holds an electrical contractor licence issued through the Electrical Safety Authority. The number is public — check it against the ESA contractor register before you hire anyone, including us.
Residential and commercial work
We take on both: a single faulty circuit in a house, and lighting, equipment wiring or a service upgrade in a commercial space.
ESA notification and inspection
Where the work requires it, we file the notification with the Electrical Safety Authority and coordinate the inspection as part of the job.
Written scopes and quotes
We provide a written scope or quote where appropriate, so what is and is not included is clear, and we explain pricing before proceeding with additional work.
Fire alarm capability
Fire alarm installation, inspection and verification are part of what City Brite does, for properties that need that work.

Residential Electrical Services
We work in houses, condos and multi-unit homes across North York and Toronto. That covers the small jobs — a receptacle that has stopped working, a breaker that keeps tripping, a fixture that needs replacing — and the larger ones, like rewiring, adding circuits for a renovation, or replacing a fuse panel with a modern breaker panel.
Older houses often need a different approach from newer builds. Original wiring, an undersized service and work done by previous owners all change what a job actually involves. We provide a written scope or quote where appropriate, and explain pricing before proceeding with additional work.

Commercial Electrical Services
We work in commercial properties — offices, storefronts, warehouses and units being fitted out for a new tenant. That includes electrical service and repairs, tracing electrical faults affecting business operations, lighting installation and upgrades, wiring for equipment, and larger service upgrades.
If you are not sure whether what you have is a repair or the start of a bigger upgrade, we will tell you what we find and what we would recommend.
Commercial Electrical ServicesElectrical Repairs & Troubleshooting
City Brite is a service contractor as well as a project contractor. You can call about one thing that has stopped working — a job does not have to be large to be worth booking.
Faults are not always where they appear to be. A dead receptacle can be a loose connection several boxes upstream, and a breaker that trips at the same time each evening is usually telling you something about load. We trace it rather than guess, and explain what we found and why.
- Breakers that trip or will not reset
- Receptacles and switches that have stopped working
- Flickering or dimming lights
- Overloaded or shared circuits
- Burning smells, scorch marks or warm cover plates
- Older and deteriorating wiring connections
- New circuits for appliances or equipment
- Deficiencies raised in a home inspection
Renovations & Larger Projects
We also take on the bigger work: a full rewire, electrical for a basement or an addition, kitchen and bathroom circuits, and the service upgrade those often depend on.
Renovation electrical is largely a question of sequencing — rough-in before insulation and drywall, inspection at the right stage, fixtures and devices at the end. Getting that order right is what keeps the rest of a renovation moving.

Call City Brite for a single electrical problem, or hire us for a substantial renovation or upgrade. Both are ordinary work for us.
Residential Wiring & RenovationsFire Alarm Services
City Brite provides fire alarm installation, inspection and verification for residential and commercial properties.
Verification is the formal process used to confirm that a newly installed or modified fire alarm system operates in accordance with its design and applicable requirements.
Fire Alarm ServicesElectrical Services in North York
North York covers a wide range of property. There are post-war bungalows, streets where those bungalows have been replaced by much larger homes, mid-century houses that have been renovated once or twice, apartment and condo buildings, and commercial strips along the main roads.
We work throughout North York, including Bathurst Manor, Don Mills and Willowdale, in homes and in commercial properties alike. What a building needs comes down to the building itself — its age, its existing service, and what has been changed over the years — rather than which part of North York it sits in.
North York is part of the City of Toronto, so Toronto Hydro is the local distributor here and Electrical Safety Authority notification works the same way it does anywhere in Ontario.
We work across the rest of Toronto and the wider GTA as well.
