Electrical Contractor Oakville: Licensed Electricians
Oakville homes ask a lot of their electrical systems: pools and hot tubs, landscape lighting, two EVs in the garage, finished basements, central air running hard through humid lakeshore summers. Ramboll Electrical & Contracting Solutions is a licensed electrical contractor that plans for all of it, from panel upgrades and Level 2 EV charger installation to LED lighting and fast, properly diagnosed electrical repair.
We work across Oakville’s very different neighbourhoods, from heritage houses in Old Oakville and Kerr Village to the newest subdivisions north of Dundas Street, and with the businesses along Lakeshore Road, the Uptown Core and the QEW corridor. Every job is permitted and inspected through Ontario’s Electrical Safety Authority (ESA), and we coordinate directly with Oakville Hydro when your service needs to change.
Electrical panel upgrades in Oakville
Most panel upgrades in Oakville are triggered by something being added: a heat pump, an EV charger, a pool heater, a basement suite. When the service size changes, Oakville Hydro, the town’s electricity distributor, has to disconnect and reconnect your supply. We handle the whole sequence:
- Load calculation and a written quote.
- ESA permit, and the service request with Oakville Hydro.
- Panel, meter base and grounding replaced on the booked disconnect date.
- ESA inspection and reconnection, and your certificate of inspection for insurance.
If you’re also switching from gas heating to a cold-climate heat pump, our HVAC team can size and install it alongside the electrical work. See heat pump systems.
Level 2 EV charger installation in Oakville
Oakville has plenty of two-EV households, and a Level 2 charger is what makes daily driving on the QEW, 403 and 407 practical. The right setup depends on how much spare capacity your panel has.
| Setup | Best for | Things to know |
|---|---|---|
| Hardwired Level 2 charger | Most homes with enough panel capacity | Cleanest install; outdoor-rated units suit driveway mounting |
| Charger with an energy management system (EVEMS) | Homes where the panel is close to full | Pauses charging when the house draws heavily; can avoid a service upgrade |
| Two chargers with load sharing | Two-EV households | Chargers split one circuit so both cars are topped up overnight |
| Service upgrade plus charger | Larger homes adding a pool heater, heat pump or second unit too | Needs Oakville Hydro coordination; plan everything at once to avoid paying twice |

LED lighting installation in Oakville
Lighting is one of the most requested electrical services in Oakville, indoors and out.
- Pot lights and interior LED: slim LED pot lights with dimming, laid out so rooms are evenly lit rather than dotted with bright spots. See pot light and lighting solutions.
- Landscape and exterior lighting: path, facade, tree and pool-area lighting on timers or smart controls, with weather-rated fittings and properly protected outdoor circuits.
- Commercial LED retrofits: replacing fluorescent and metal-halide fixtures in offices, retail and warehouses. Retrofits may qualify for incentives; see our Save on Energy programs page and energy-efficient lighting systems.
Electrical repair, storms and backup power
South Oakville’s mature tree canopy is one of the town’s best features, but summer thunderstorms and winter ice regularly bring branches down on lines. Outages and the surges that come when power returns are hard on furnaces, pool equipment and electronics.
For electrical repair in Oakville, we trace faults such as tripping breakers, dead outlets, flickering lights and warm switches to the actual cause. We also install whole-home surge protection at the panel, and generator inlets, transfer switches or standby generators for homes that can’t go without power. See electrical repairs and troubleshooting and backup power and surge protection.
Because we’re TSSA certified, we can also run gas lines for BBQs, pool heaters and outdoor kitchens, coordinating with Enbridge Gas where a meter or supply change is needed. See gas line and BBQ installation.
Commercial electrician in Oakville
We work with owners, tenants and property managers across Oakville’s commercial areas: boutiques and restaurants on Lakeshore Road and in Bronte Village, offices in the Uptown Core, medical and professional units, and business parks and industrial units along the QEW and Highway 403.
- Tenant improvements and renovations for new leases and store refits.
- Networking and data cabling for offices and clinics.
