Thornhill straddles the Vaughan-Markham border and is known for its established, tree-lined neighbourhoods built mostly from the 1960s through the 1980s. Many Thornhill homes are due for electrical modernization — panel upgrades from original 60-100 amp service, and rewiring of aluminum wiring common in that era, alongside updated wiring to support renovations and additions. ESS has extensive experience with the specific electrical issues common to Thornhill's housing stock.
Aluminum wiring, common in homes built in the 1960s-70s, isn't inherently unsafe but does require different connection methods, like proper anti-oxidant compound and approved connectors, than copper. Left improperly connected, it can be a genuine fire risk. We inspect and, where needed, remediate aluminum wiring to current safety standards.
A full rewire on a typical bungalow generally runs several thousand dollars depending on square footage and wall access, since older homes often need drywall opened in places. We provide a firm quote after seeing the home in person — no two rewires are priced the same.
