I am a small Licensed Electrical Contractor (LEC) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with a crew of four including myself. For bigger jobs I invite fellow LECs or sub-contract out. <br />
<br />
95% of my work is residential and commercial electrical renovation and troubleshooting. I drive on average 60 minutes one way to a job site and 60 minutes back. And an average project takes about three hours to complete. <br />
<br />
<div class="c009900">I always charge a $160 service call fee, which includes first hour or less of work. $160 is a minimum amount. And I charge $32.50 every half an hour or fraction thereof after the first hour for labor. Plus I charge double for materials and inspection. </div></div><div class="flrcenter"><br />

In downtown Toronto I charge even more. Because driving around, looking for a parking spot and then running back and forth with toolboxes, wires, ladders, etc. is hard, stressful, and wasteful. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://electricratestoronto.blogspot.com/2015/05/electrician-in-toronto-free-estimate.html" target="_blank">And I never go for free estimates if the expected price of the job is below $2000.</a> Do you? <br />
<br />
I decided to ask other LECs and electricians doing residential renovation work and troubleshooting in Toronto & the GTA what their hourly rate is. <br />
<br />
We all know that big firms charge their commercial and industrial customers from $100/hr to $200/hr. Why do so many of us, residential LECs charge so much less? <br />
<br />
I know some small LECs charge from $30/hr to $40/hr. I think it's a shame and discreditation of our occupation! Do you agree? <br />
<br />
<hr /><br />
When I began working for myself, I also charged $30/hr. When in a few days there was too much work, I raised to $35/hr. It did not help. In a week I was making $40, then $50, and $60/hr. And I started to take a services call fee. <br />
<br />
Amazingly, no matter what the prices were, most callers eventually became my customers! It is the case up to this day at $100 one time travel charge and $60 to $70 per hour! <br />
<br />
Wouldn't it be worthwhile for everyone to charge fair amounts close to the average in the industry? Would you like to discuss fair rates for both the contractors and reasonable prices to our customers here? <br />
<br />
Do you think $160 first hour fee is too low, about right, or too high? <br />
Do you think my $65 hourly rate is about right? <br />

</div><div class="maxwidth450"><br />
Doing free estimates is another enormous waste item. And most of us, who are self-employed, do NOT work 40 or 50 hours a week at that rate. Half of the time or a bit more. <br />
<br />
Your $50 or $90 rate equals just $20 to $45 per hour of the actual cash in your pocket to spend on your personal or family needs if you work for yourself. <br />
<br />
<hr><br />
The single biggest problem is over-regulation. The government and other bodies are doing their best to squeeze you dry. The Ontario College of Trades and Electrical Safety Authority criminal parasites are the first in line to suck your time, energy, and hard earned money out of you. <br />
<br />
They don't kneel, don't crawl, don't work full time in dirty, tight, dusty, and noisy spaces. They do not need to do midnight shifts, nor work outdoor 8 hours straight when it's minus 15. Instead they invented, lobbied, pushed for and succeeded in passing the law allowing them to take enough money from you to pay much more money to themselves while laughing at you!<br />
<br />
If morally degraded, one can not find a better career than working in the government or similar entities. The Ontario College of Trades and Electrical Safety Authority are the perfect examples of such employment. The bureaucrats have successfully lobbied the government. And it has approved an amazingly large package of direct and indirect payments, salaries, wages, allowances, benefits, contributions, coverages, and reimbursements for these parasites. You also pay for their comprehensive health and dental plans, and pensions. <a href="http://stopesa.blogspot.com/2015/04/poor-electricians-forced-to-pay-rich-esa-employees.html" target="_blank">http://stopesa.blogspot.com/2015/04/poor-electricians-forced-to-pay-rich-esa-employees.html</a> <br />
<br />
<span class="flleft">Simply put,</span><span class="darkredbold"> you are a cow, they are the farmer. They have a mandate to milk you. It is their job. Their children deserve your money. Your own kids don't. They milk you instead of working side by side with you. They are smarter and better than you. Farmers and cows. Farmers and cows! </span><br />
<br />
These ugly "be a cow or a farmer", "be a victim or a criminal", "be robbed to the bone to keep feeding your family" options push even good people do bad things. Unable to fight the almighty provincial bureaucracy most of us, if not all, are forced to skip inspections, work for cash, endanger the public, and become offenders to survive. <br />
<br />
The institutionalized abuse of power goes much deeper and farther than just that. It rots the souls of both criminals and victims. It affects all Ontarians. Hundreds of thousands of federal bureaucrats, provincial parasites, municipal and local criminals at all levels of government badly hurt you, every citizen, and Canada as a whole! <br />
<br />
<b>The above will sooner or later catch up with every single unsuspected victim, a self-employed electrician to be. And it is better to be aware of the nasty unavoidable stuff. </b><br />
<br />
<hr><br />
If you are highly entrepreneurial, really good with both your hands and head do renovation and then grow to become a GC building new homes. That's where the money is! General contractors and developers are at the top of the food chain. They are the masters in the field, the emperors of all trades! <br />
<br />
If I could, I would start over as an HVAC mechanic. On top of their skills they learn some of electricity and plumbing. And if you have a couple of best friends or brothers, the three of you should become an HVAC mechanic, an electrician and a plumber. That's how all of you TOGETHER could quickly become highly paid and very successful. <br />
<br />
But sometimes the success is much faster and easier than that, simply if you are lucky. <br />
<br />
I met a guy by the elevator. We spoke for 6 minutes or so while waiting for and riding down to the lobby. As a new immigrant from Serbia with poor English he found his first job doing window and door caulking for the newly built homes. After learning the skill in two months, three of them, all friends, began working for themselves. And another few months later each of them got his own crew while still sticking together as one company. The guy from the elevator also told me that he was buying his first house 18 months after arrival in Canada. It took me, a licensed electrician, around 11 years to buy my first! See the difference? <br />
<br />
As an electrician I worked in a mansion of a Filipino woman who became a millionaire starting as a mortgage clerk, then becoming a processing agent after two-week long courses. And then, in a few years the four colleagues got together and became a mortgage broker. More or less the same success scenario without higher education, special skills, extensive knowledge, or five year apprenticeship! <br />
<br />
Being an electrician is certainly NOT the best career or occupation. If you have a brain choose something else. Financial, health, legal, IT and some other fields will always be in demand. (Take the financial field. People bring you their own money voluntarily. What could be better than that?). They are recession proof too. And sometimes you do not need a bachelor degree just to get in. So use your brain, not your back if you can. <br />
<br />
Yet again, electrical or any other path could become a road to success if you are smart, hardworking, honest, entrepreneurial and if a good fortune is in the cards for you, like for that caulking guy or the mortgage lady. <br />
<br />
Good luck!<br />
<br />
PS. I have a dream to bring The Ontario College of Trades and Electrical Safety Authority criminal parasites to justice. Only then being an electrician could become really appealing and attractive career in Ontario! <br />

If I am not paid for good work, I try playing a good guy first. I set up a monthly payment plan of $50 or $200 a month plus an interest within legally permitted limits. I only want to get tough after the friendly approach method gets blown off.<br />
<br />
I mail or email a bill to a crook monthly. Then, after three months, I file a small claim. Or I pay a lawyer to write a letter threatening legal action, or I get a lien. <br />
<br />
-----<br />
<br />
But let's start with a new customer and a very first phone conversation. Start collecting and verifying customer's personal info like full name, email, address, other contact info, etc. Then prepare a detailed contract covering all your weak points. Remember, if you omit one, you will get hit right there. <br />
<br />
Do expect every customer to act like a criminal or a pig and you will never be disappointed. It does not mean you need to be rude or else. Just be careful and do not trust anybody. This way you will avoid most of bad customers and lose just a few of good ones. </div><div class="flr60"><br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNoBefHwJXWyd0IBDNczkzp_jV7PX5GKm-q_5ppmgzUlriWfqj0mNnK-Hm4S5iBvxYR7-UyYrMVjGyDfYY_9MRg3P5hinOy6acdBJhNvqBrUdxw3XA2ROjG5_sHtCIts7PZZKs-ANBmIQY/s210/066ksw2b.JPG"><br />
</div><div class="maxwidth450"><br />
Many of these folks are career criminals. They know how to work the system and abuse you. Their strongest weapon is becoming silent and invisible. They never reply, never pick up the phone, disappear not to be found or reached, they keep complete silence and hang up or calmly walk away if you found them. <br />
<br />
We, as contractors, need to know how to work that system as well. If we do not sacrifice time and effort trying to punish them, they become even more brazen and vicious. Your inaction will multiply the number of their victims. If you consider yourself a good person, do everything you can to retaliate. Step over yourself and go after every one of them. <br />
<br />
But keep in mind that honest clients also need to be careful with you. They just do not know you are a good electrical contractor and an honest person. So ask for just a 30% upfront payment for materials and get the rest upon your arrival with the materials. </div><div class="flr60"><br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj60iGt8Qs-WprFCcQfw2AhQirVoVR_vi2kPFspuhpMDt0zRxoub4maTG6_YIhse0oYPWcd3RxavgtfBIyPJlPtuoC3r-7n8HZMC53p3khZRr8CsTfNSqkvEJr_vM0P_hbBLTIf-peHT9YV/s310/xxxxxxgh.jpg"><br />
</div><div class="maxwidth450"><br />
-----<br />
<br />
If they don’t pay an upfront deposit, we don’t start working. <br />
<br />
We agree in advance and set up in writing interim payments at particular milestones and as often as it makes both parties safe and conformable. Depending on the project size it could be hourly, every four hours, daily, weekly amounts based on the value of work that has been completed. Such interim payments are 2% to 10% lower than they should be. These temporarily unpaid amounts accumulate, it's kinda customer insurance that contractor won't disappear for good after getting such partial payments. <br />
<br />
The accumulated unpaid amounts must be received one hour, one day or one week for large projects before the job completion. So we get paid in full just before finishing the job. No one gets the final product before the invoice is paid in full. <br />
<br />
<strong><font color=#ff0000>If they don't make an interim payment, we stop working. No exceptions, never.</FONT></STRONG> Hefty penalties get activated right away as per the contract. It’s extremely simple, powerful, and always works. <br />
<br />
If in doubt, we never start working until we get prepaid. And we never begin work until getting the amount agreed upon. <br />
<br />
We have made up our mind. We lose bad customers before we lose any money. And we just forget it. <br />
<br />
Some six years ago we've ignored these rules a couple of times. We lost a couple of bad customers, lost money and got a whole spectrum of nasty feelings, wasted time, bad experiences, negative thoughts, and emotions. <br />
<br />

You waited/wasted the whole day and must do it again another day. ESA has ruined your entire week's schedule, created tremendous problems to you and to your other customers. You lost hundreds or thousands of dollars! <br />
<br />
Yet, you got no compensation for the ESA inspector's fault. <br />
<br />
Quoting the ESA CSR, "This notification is scheduled for final inspection for July 10/14 but it isn't a guaranteed appointment. The inspector will try to get there that day depending on his work load." <br />
<br />
Has the ESA ever abused you in any other way? Do you pay too much for the right to be a self-employed residential electrician in Ontario? <br />
<br />
I am going to fight the Electrical Safety Authority. Please give your story below or leave a comment <a href="http://stopesa.blogspot.com/2015/04/esa-inspector-pay-for-late-arrival-no-show.html" target="_blank">here </a>.<br />

From $220 (to take one out and place another in) to $3000 (if the panel's bus bar is burned or damaged and panel replacement is undertaken). <br />
<br />
<br />
How much does a licensed electrician charge to install a light fixture in Toronto? Expect to pay from from $160 (to hang a relatively simple chandelier on 9' to 11' ceiling without any obstacles) to $2000 (to have a heavy crystal chandelier assembled, installed on the 24' high ceiling, and then dressed up with a 1000 pieces of crystal in Vaughan, Ontario).<br />
<br />
<br />
Why do some contractors charge money to give an estimate in the GTA? <a href="http://www.electriciantoronto.ca/2014/06/electrician-in-toronto-free-estimate.html" target="_blank">Here is a link and info on free estimates. </a><br />
<br />
<br />
Cost to troubleshoot and fix a short circuit or power outage. In the majority of cases it is expected to take one hour or less. Be prepared to pay a residential electrician from $160 to $250 in Etobicoke. If something is burned or broken inside the panel or wall, it could cost from $300 to $2000 depending on the extent of the damage and remedial work required.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cost to wire a house. Estimates and prices are as follows:<br />
<ul><li>A brand new 2000 sq. f. unfinished house with 30 pot lights in Mississauga - $15000.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>An old 2000 sq. f. house without plaster or drywall, plus 30 pot lights in Richmond Hill - $17000.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>An old 2000 sq. f. finished house to rewire behind plaster or drywall, and install 30 pot lights in Thornhill - $25000 or $30000.</li>
</ul><br />
Cost to hire a residential professional licensed electrician for one hour. Expect to pay from $160 to $300 in North York. Depending of the driving distance, parking availability, day and time.<br />
<br />
<br />
Typically, be prepared to pay $3000 to replace main panel in Scarborough. Or up to $4000 to replace service conduit and the main panel in Markham.<br />
<br />

<img alt="Do you do free estimates for small jobs?" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-wqnWtyNbUs6HFP0qb69_73Q1E6VY9OwDrIfwT1zPlF_IN3g0yALquHqpnqJPBSivoUoluZ2KD4_4s2ZeC58GCdBO2I2nCe1OmU1u1QGYY_iq6V6BbCWf_c5CPWZGSzaXXg9I-5I64ktY/s280/23xxxc7j900maqh2.jpg"><br />
<br />
</div><div class="maxwidth520">I never do free estimates if the expected price of the job is below $2000. And I think it is fair not to waste time on small job estimates.<br />
<br />
Especially taking into account that some customers invite more than five LECs, or electricians who are not LECs and even handymen to quote. Together those estimators waste 10 - 20 hrs giving quotes for a $400 job. And sometimes you can do ten estimates, spend two whole days and get no jobs.<br />
<br />
Hourly rate is a life saver for small jobs or when the exact scope of the work is not known. So I offer customers my hourly rate for short jobs and never do free estimates.<br />
<br />
I found this post about free estimates written for customers. <a href="http://www.electriciantoronto.ca/2014/06/electrician-in-toronto-free-estimate.html" target="_blank">Is a free estimate really free?</a><br />
<br />
Do you do free estimates?<br />
<br />
How do you handle this problem?<br />
<br />
Or should we discuss how to stop wasting time?<br />

<div class="maxwidth520"><div class="adddd">advertisement </div><br />
We are a general contractor doing renovation in the GTA. We are neither licensed, nor allowed to do electrical work and need an experienced electrician, master or LEC to do it for us occasionally. <br />
<br />
From time to time we can offer you small to mid size jobs in your area. Mostly residential and sometimes commercial repair/renovation. And mostly minor jobs, an hour or three long like: emergency troubleshooting, move a switch, add a light, wall plug, new line wiring, install light fixture, chandelier, sometimes bigger jobs like panel and service upgrade, basement finishing wiring, rarely a commercial unit rough-in and finishing. <br />
<br />
We are looking for a licensed experienced electrician employed by or working under a Licensed Electrical Contractor or a LEC who could work without supervision mostly in houses, condos and sometimes in commercial buildings. YOU MUST BE FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ELECTRICAL WORK and for everything else. </div><div class="flrcenter"><br />

We do renovations but are neither licensed, nor allowed to do electrical work. That is why we need you. When we have electrical work/customer, we will offer this READY TO GO job to you. We will give you a short description of the job, or problem, or the scope of work, and pictures where necessary, contact info, address and rates that every customer has already agreed to pay. <br />
<br />
If you are available and interested, you take it, call and verify all the info with each customer, accept full responsibility, go, do it and collect payment directly from the customer. You will keep your hourly labor rate and keep money for your materials if you used any. You then will pay us the difference between the higher rate that customer paid and your part of the money. This difference will be our commission or job finder's fee. <br />
<br />
Most customers will pay cash for small jobs. You must deal with all invoice, receipt, HST, tax, etc. issues where necessary, exactly the same way you do it with your own customers and jobs. We will issue you invoices, receipts, HST, etc. for our cut after you paid us the commission or job finder's fee. <br />
<br />
Our work in this specific arrangement is marketing, finding customers, jobs and offering them to you. <b>Your role is to do all work strictly by the book, absolutely safe, and be always code compliant, be absolutely and completely responsible for everything as a Licensed Electrical Contractor. </b><br />
<br />
We are looking for a licensed PRO with a lower hourly rate of $70 for the first hour and $35/hr thereafter. We want to also make good money for ourselves on these jobs/customers and can not offer higher rates, sorry. <br />
<br />
$70 is a minimum amount you will keep from customer's payment, even if you worked for 5 minutes. <br />
<br />
<div class="greennnb">If you sometimes do not have enough work and sit home idle you can take such infrequent side jobs and put some extra cash into your pocket. </div><br />
<b>Remember, finding more work and customers is one of the most difficult and important challenges. It is highly desirable in any business, a pivotal task for leaders and laggards alike. We will partially solve your challenge if you pay us for that. </b><br />
<br />
Please <b><a href="mailto:toronto.kitchens.build@gmail.com">email</a></b>, but ONLY if you have answered all the five questions (marked with ???) and are able and willing to work like that. <br />
<br />
1) What's your postal code??? <br />
<br />
2) What's your hourly rate for short jobs described above within 15 km of your postal code??? <br />
<br />
3) Do you carry in your vehicle MOST materials and supplies necessary for various short/mid sized electrical renovation jobs??? <br />
<br />
4) Some jobs require wire fishing. Do you do wire fishing??? <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="darkredbold">If you have NOT answered all four questions (marked with ???) we will ask you the same Qs right away or just delete your message. Sorry. <br />
<br />
PLEASE DO NOT SEND US RESUMES OR CVs. We are neither hiring, nor offering employment, nor see any openings on the horizon. </div></div>Electric Rates Torontohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00719711587722745366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509449384870292070.post-85828717703948024422012-12-08T22:59:00.000-08:002017-03-01T15:48:26.324-08:00Low rate electrician in Brampton<div class="maxwidth520"><h2 class="style1">Inexpensive troubleshooting and small home repair electrician in Brampton </h2><br />
