Residential Electrical Services in Brockville and Eastern Ontario
Licensed Electricians for Home Electrical Upgrades Since 1985
Family-owned and operated, Eldridge Electric provides residential electrical services for homeowners throughout Brockville, the 1000 Islands, and surrounding communities. From large-scale electrical upgrades to renovation work, our licensed electricians handle every project with attention to safety, quality, and full compliance with Ontario's electrical code.
Electrical Panel Upgrades
An outdated electrical panel is one of the most common — and most important — electrical issues in Ontario homes. Whether your home still has a fuse box, is running on 100-amp service, or simply can't keep up with modern electrical demands, upgrading your panel is one of the highest-value improvements you can make.
Eldridge Electric handles panel replacements and service upgrades for homeowners throughout Eastern Ontario, including upgrades from fuse-based systems and 100-amp to 200-amp service upgrades. All work includes the required ESA permit and inspection.
Not sure whether your panel needs upgrading? Our full-home electrical inspection will give you a clear picture of your home's electrical system and what, if anything, needs attention.
Generator Installation & Backup Power
Power outages in Eastern Ontario are an inevitable reality. A permanently installed standby generator ensures your home stays powered through outages automatically — no extension cords, no manual setup, no disruption.
Eldridge Electric installs standby generators and transfer switches for homeowners throughout Brockville and Eastern Ontario. We handle the full installation, including sizing, electrical connections, transfer switch wiring, and the required ESA permit and inspection.
Our team works with leading generator brands, including Generac, to recommend the right unit for your home's needs and budget.
EV Charger Installation
As electric vehicle ownership grows across Ontario, a home Level 2 EV charger has become one of the most practical electrical upgrades a homeowner can make. Level 2 charging adds 30 to 50 kilometres of range per hour — meaning most EVs are fully charged overnight without relying on a standard household outlet.
Our licensed electricians install dedicated 240V circuits and Level 2 EV charging stations for homeowners throughout Brockville, the 1000 Islands, Kemptville, and Eastern Ontario.
All installations include the required ESA permit/inspection.
Whole-Home Rewiring
Older Ontario homes — particularly those built before the 1980s — may have wiring that no longer meets current safety standards or simply can't support the demands of a modern household. Whole-home rewiring replaces aging electrical infrastructure with new wiring that meets Ontario's electrical code, improves safety, and supports current and future electrical loads.
Eldridge Electric handles partial and whole-home rewiring projects for homeowners throughout Eastern Ontario. Our team also addresses specific wiring concerns, including knob and tube wiring removal and aluminum wiring remediation, both of which can affect home insurance eligibility and resale value if left unaddressed.
Hot Tub & Pool Electrical Installation
Hot tubs and pools require dedicated electrical circuits, GFCI protection, and proper bonding to meet Ontario's electrical code. This is not a DIY project — improper wiring in/around water creates safety risks and will not pass ESA inspection.
Eldridge Electric installs the dedicated circuits, disconnect panels, and bonding systems required for hot tubs and in-ground or above-ground pools.
We work directly with homeowners and contractors to coordinate installation timing and ensure everything is ready for final inspection.
Electrical Work for Renovations, Additions & New Home Builds
Renovation and construction projects almost always involve electrical work, and the scope can range from a single circuit addition to a complete rough-in for a new home. Eldridge Electric works with homeowners, general contractors, and builders on electrical work for:
Kitchen and bathroom renovations
Basement finishing and additions
Home additions and second floors
New home construction and rough-in
Garage and workshop electrical
As part of renovation work, our team also handles the smaller items that come up along the way — pot light installation, fixture upgrades, switch and receptacle replacements, dedicated circuits for appliances, and structured cabling for voice, data, and entertainment systems. What starts as a renovation quote often grows into a multi-day project, and our team is equipped to handle it all under one roof.
Home Electrical Inspections
Not sure about the condition of your home's electrical system? An electrical inspection gives you a clear, honest picture of what you have, what may need attention, and what your options are — before you commit to any work.
Eldridge Electric provides full-home electrical inspections for $249 plus tax. If you proceed with any recommended work, that amount is credited toward your project. Our licensed electricians provide an assessment of your panel, wiring, grounding, and overall electrical system condition.
A home electrical inspection is particularly valuable if you are:
Buying or selling a home
Planning a renovation or addition
Experiencing recurring electrical issues
Unsure whether your panel or wiring meets current standards
Required by your insurer to provide a report
Whole-Home Surge Protection
Power surges — whether from lightning strikes, utility switching, or large appliances cycling on and off — can damage electronics, appliances, and electrical systems without warning. A whole-home surge protector installed at your electrical panel provides a first line of defence for everything connected to your home's electrical system.
Eldridge Electric installs whole-home surge protection devices for homeowners throughout Eastern Ontario.
It is a straightforward upgrade that provides meaningful protection for modern homes with investments in electronics and smart appliances.
