What homeowners in Ontario deal with
Weather and wear
Humid summers and cold, snowy winters put real work on furnaces, air conditioners, roofs and foundations. Freeze-thaw cycles are hard on driveways, eavestroughs and basement walls.
The housing you'll find
Older homes often still have knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized pipes or aging electrical panels, while newer builds tend to need finishing work: basements, decks and upgrades.
Permits and licensing
Electrical work in Ontario falls under the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA), and fuel-burning appliances like gas furnaces and water heaters are regulated through the TSSA. Structural work, additions and many basement projects need a municipal building permit.
