What we do
Electrical work for homes in Guelph
Panel upgrades
Finishing the basement? Most older Guelph panels are full before the first pot light goes in. We bring 60 and 100 amp services up to 200, with ESA sign-off.
02EV chargers
Level 2 charging for the new subdivisions off Gordon and the older garages downtown. The panel check is part of the quote.
03Knob-and-tube and aluminum rewiring
Century homes across old Guelph rewired one circuit at a time if the budget needs it, with paperwork your insurer will accept.
04Pot lights
Layouts planned before we cut. Clean ceilings and no mystery switches.
05Hot tub hookups
A dedicated circuit with GFCI protection, wired to code and inspected before you fill it.
06Troubleshooting
Dead outlets and breakers that trip at supper time. We trace the cause, not the symptom.
How we work
Licensed, permitted and inspected. Every job.
Every job that needs a permit gets one, and the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) inspects the work before we close anything up. You get the certificate for your records, so your insurance stays valid and a future home sale never stalls over the wiring.
Copperline has spent 11 years in Guelph houses, from knob-and-tube in the brick century homes of The Ward to new 200 amp services in the south end. Every job runs under a licensed master electrician, and the licence number sits on every quote we send.

How much does an electrician cost in Guelph?
Service calls from$95
Most service calls in Guelph start from $95 as of June 2026, and the final price depends on the job. The age of the wiring and the access to the panel change the labour, so we quote firm after we see the work.
You approve the written price before anything starts, and it does not move after that. Panel upgrades are their own quote and start from $2,400.
From a customer
Reviews from Guelph homeowners
Copperline replaced the original 60 amp panel in our farmhouse outside Fergus. The written quote was the price we paid. The ESA inspection passed on the first visit and we had the certificate before the truck left the driveway. Easy to recommend.
Quoted the panel upgrade in writing and that was the final number, even when they found old wiring in one wall. Permit pulled and the inspector signed off the same week.

Booked an EV charger install. They showed up when they said, tidied up after, and walked me through the new breaker before they left.

The written price is the price you pay
Copperline Electric is based in Guelph and works across Fergus, Elora and Rockwood, the same roads we live on. Most people call us after an electrician who would not put a number in writing, or whose price climbed once the wall was open. We give you a firm written price before the work starts, pull every permit, and the number does not move after you approve it.

The Panel Upgrade Pricing Guide
What a 100 amp to 200 amp upgrade actually costs in older Guelph houses, and what changes the number. Worth reading before you book any electrician, including us.
Questions homeowners ask us
Is your electrical work permitted and inspected?
Yes. Any job that needs a permit gets one filed with the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA), and the work is inspected before we close the walls. You get a copy of the certificate for your records. Unpermitted electrical work can void insurance and stall a home sale, so we never skip this step.
Are you a licensed master electrician?
Yes. Copperline Electric holds ECRA/ESA Licence #7013555, and every job runs under a licensed master electrician. We carry liability insurance and can show proof of both before any work starts. If a contractor cannot show a licence number, that is the moment to stop the conversation.
How much does a panel upgrade cost in Guelph?
Most panel upgrades in Guelph start from $2,400 as of June 2026. The final price depends on the size of the new panel and the condition of the existing service. Some jobs also need the utility involved, which adds time. We give a firm written quote after seeing the panel, and the price does not move after that.
Do you replace aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring?
Yes. We rewire homes with aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, either whole-house or one circuit at a time as budget allows. Many insurers in Guelph, Fergus, Elora and Rockwood now require this wiring to be replaced or remediated before they will renew a policy. We can document the work for your insurer.
Do you install EV chargers?
Yes. We install Level 2 EV chargers at homes across Guelph, Fergus, Elora and Rockwood, including the panel or service upgrade some older homes need first. Every charger install is permitted and inspected. Tell us your vehicle and where you park, and we will quote the full job with no surprises on install day.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Guelph and the surrounding area, including Fergus, Elora and Rockwood. If you are just outside that area, call us anyway; we take jobs a little further out when the schedule allows. Travel is built into the quote, so the price you approve is the price you pay.
Do you take small jobs?
Yes. A dead outlet or a single new light fixture is a real job to us, and small jobs are often how we meet a customer for the first time. The work is quoted the same way as a big job, with a written price you approve before we start. Service calls start from $95 as of June 2026.
Can I text you photos for a ballpark price?
Yes. Text a photo of your panel or the problem to (519) 555-0184 and we will tell you what we can see from the picture, usually with a rough range. The firm price still comes after we look at the work in person, and that written number is the one that holds.
Is my old panel dangerous?
Not always, and we will tell you straight if yours is fine. Age on its own does not make a panel unsafe. What matters is the condition: heat marks or rust around the breakers, and a small number of panel makes with a known fault record. If your panel is safe, we say so and you keep your money. If it is not, you get the reasons in writing with the quote.
