To ensure the safe installation of an electric vehicle charger, it is necessary to obtain a permit from the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA). The ESA is a provincially appointed government body responsible for overseeing electrical installations in the province of Ontario. It is mandatory for all electrical contractors to obtain permits, which can be obtained if they hold an ECRA/ESA contractor license. If you would like to verify the registration of electrical contractors, you can visit the Authority’s website and search for their registration status. Our contractor license number is 7001317, and we encourage you to verify our credentials for your peace of mind. Once the permit is acquired, an Electrical Safety Authority inspector will typically visit your home after the installation is complete. This inspection ensures that the installation adheres to the current electrical codes in the province. Following a successful inspection, a Certificate of Acceptance will be issued, confirming that the installation meets the required standards. At The Electrical Works Ltd., we are proud to be part of a special program that demonstrates our expertise and reliability in electric vehicle installations. As a result, the Authority has shown confidence in our work, allowing us to proceed without a physical inspection in certain cases. It is important to note that our defect ratio remains below 4%, further validating our eligibility for this program. Rest assured, the certificate you receive from us holds the same weight and acceptance as those obtained by individuals who have an inspector visit their premises. This recognition is acknowledged by insurance providers and charging manufacturers alike, ensuring the credibility and reliability of our installations. We prioritize the safety and satisfaction of our clients, and we are committed to delivering exceptional service while adhering to the highest industry standards.
