Family electricians for the Golden Horseshoe, since 1988.

A family-owned shop in the Hamilton–Burlington area. We start with how you'll actually use the space, then design the electrical around it and build it to code. Residential and commercial, done right the first time.

Our promise

Three things we won't cut corners on.

They're the reasons people have kept calling us back since 1988.

Quality Results

We treat your home or job site like it's our own, finishing every detail to a standard we're glad to put our name on. If it isn't right, it isn't finished.

Reliable Scheduling

We show up when we say we will, keep you in the loop, and don't leave the next trade waiting, whether it's a kitchen reno or a contractor's build.

Designed to Suit

The plugs, switches and lighting end up where you'll reach for them. We plan the electrical around your layout, not the other way around, and it's built to code.

Our people

We're a family business, and you can tell.

Going Electric opened in 1988 and has stayed family-owned ever since. Gary built the company, and the family still runs it the same way, on the tools and on site. The rest of the crew are electricians and apprentices we're proud to work alongside.

We've built a team that's skilled, welcoming, and in it for the long haul — people who take pride in their craft and look out for each other. We think it shows in the work.

What we do

From a single outlet to a full fit-up.

We're a full-service electrical contractor: same crew, same standard, whatever the job. A few of the things we're called for:

Homes, renovations & additions

New wiring and rewires, panel upgrades, pot lights, Tesla Wall Connectors and other EV chargers, and the smaller fixes around the house too.

Commercial & new builds

Fit-ups, build-outs, and tenant improvements, with dependable scheduling your project manager can plan around.

Custom electrical design

Layout, outlets, switches, panel and lighting, planned with you from the start so nothing's an afterthought.

Service, upgrades & safety

Troubleshooting, code corrections, panel and service upgrades, and modern, neatly-labelled wiring you won't have to think about.

Let's talk about your project.
