Why Contractors Choose Influx Electric
1. Fast permit approvals
We handle Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) notifications, coordinate with local utilities, and prepare stamped drawings. This removes delays that can stall framing, drywall, or occupancy deadlines.
2. Accurate bids and change-order control
Our engineers perform detailed load calculations and site assessments before we quote. The result is a scope that matches reality, keeping extras to a minimum and protecting your margins.
3. Coordinated trades
We work seamlessly with general contractors, HVAC crews, plumbers, and low-voltage specialists. Clear site meetings and marked drawings ensure conduits, ducts, and sprinkler lines never fight for the same ceiling space.
4. Complete life-cycle support
From temporary power at ground-breaking to warranty service after turnover, one point of contact follows the project. You never chase multiple subcontractors for answers.
Why Property Managers Trust Influx Electric
1. Preventive maintenance programs
Scheduled infrared scans, breaker torque checks, and GFCI testing catch issues before tenants notice flickering lights or tripped circuits.
2. 24 / 7 emergency response
A live dispatcher answers your call. A licensed electrician arrives with the right parts and access to after-hours suppliers, reducing downtime and tenant complaints.
3. Energy-saving upgrades
LED retrofits, smart lighting controls, and power-factor correction lower operating costs and help buildings hit ESG targets without major renovations.
4. Detailed reporting
After every visit you receive a digital report with photos, readings, and recommendations. This paper trail supports insurance claims and capital-planning budgets.
Core Commercial Services
Bucket Truck and High-Reach Work
Parking-lot lights, façade signage, and roof-mounted equipment require safe access. Our insulated bucket trucks reach up to 60 feet, allowing quick lamp changes, LED upgrades, and wiring repairs without scaffolding or rental lifts.
Panel and Service Upgrades
Many Toronto buildings still run on 60- or 100-amp services installed decades ago. We coordinate utility disconnects, install new switchgear, and re-balance loads so modern HVAC, elevators, and office tech run safely.
Lighting Design and Retrofits
We replace aging metal-halide or fluorescent fixtures with high-output LEDs. Occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, and networked controls deliver up to 70 percent energy savings and cut maintenance calls.
Backup Power Solutions
For retail, healthcare, and data-reliant tenants, downtime is costly. We size generators, UPS systems, and automatic transfer switches, then test under load to confirm seamless changeover when the grid fails.
Electric Vehicle Charging
Condo boards and commercial landlords face rising demand for EV stations. We assess existing capacity, install smart chargers, and set up billing software to track usage by unit or tenant.
Temporary Power for Renovations
Tenant improvements often require shutting down existing panels. We set up CSA-approved temporary feeders and distribution boxes so contractors keep working and tenants stay powered.
Compliance and Safety
Ontario’s Electrical Safety Code changes every three years. Influx Electric tracks updates and applies best practices immediately. Crews use lockout-tagout procedures, arc-flash PPE, and daily job-site hazard analyses. Our perfect record with the ESA reflects this culture of safety.
Case Study: Midtown Office Remodel
Scope
A seven-storey office building near Yonge and Eglinton needed a full-floor renovation while the rest of the property stayed occupied.
Challenges
Limited service elevator hours
Zero tolerance for daytime power interruptions
Tight four-month construction window
Influx Solution
Installed temporary panels and feeders during overnight shifts
Sequenced demolition and rough-in by zone to free access for other trades
Upgraded the main 1200-amp switchboard without shutting down critical floors by using a weekend utility cutover plan
Results
The project finished two weeks early. Tenants reported zero unplanned outages, and the building now saves an estimated $18,000 a year on lighting energy.
Sustainability in Practice
Influx Electric helps property managers qualify for Toronto’s Green Standard, save on energy-efficiency rebates, and improve building scores such as BOMA BEST. Our engineers model return-on-investment timelines so decision-makers see payback periods, not just upfront costs.
